305-E55

I just finished getting home from the dealer a little while ago and so far I am very happy with my purchase. I'm not sure the correct name of the color but it is a dark blue (my favorite color by the way) on back with blue inserts on the seats and it is an 03 with 30k on it.Well just wanted to introduce myself and look forward to learning alot about this beast from you guys.

Torquey55: Man, those rears look SWEET on your ride. I can't wait to get 295s under there.

The 295 PS2's are pretty beefy, rubbing is a problem at WOT. I still giggle every time I practice my drifting LOL.

Where do they rub? Any rubbing issues on handling?

Capri blue it is,thanks for the welcome guys.

I have that persistent "wiggle" that's been discussed here ad nauseum. The rub marks are on the plastic cover by the shock on the inside of the wheelwell. 285/30 PS2, or a different brand of 295/30's coming real soon.

Sounds like yoiu have the setup pretty tight. Can you tell me your offset again (if you did)? I know I asked before. Is there room to have gone more to the outside?

I've done some deeper testing and I am now pretty sure I will need to get RENNTech's Toe stabilizer. I am thinking the system is flexing. That would explain the wiggle AND the rubbing. I just can't see wiggle strong enough to be felt from just rubbing on the shock without some serious damage. But, if it was flexing, you'd feel the diff trying to compensate AND have rub marks from the added range of motion. I plan on swapping out as many bushings at the same time. OEM bushings usually suck and MB is no different.

PS2s are definitely square and wider than most, so a different brand may be the way.



Not to steal the thread, so welcome aboard. There are a few Capri Blues on here. the 2 I know of are both GORGEOUS, so you'd best get to cracking on the mods. Where's those PICS!!??

That color looks even better in person. Congrats on the new ride. . A little bird told me we might see some dyno results tomorrow, followed by some wednesday night test and tune.

305-E55

That's the plan if all goes well

What is the test and tune part?

But are you guys trying different things, or just playing with getting a good launch?

Well seeing as I just got the car this weekend I would like to take it to the track and get some runs in stock form before I begin modding
