Totally just wait. I have had an lsd on my shelf for over 3 years because I don’t want to pay more than I have to for install

I’m surprised you’ve waited. I can literally do a one wheel burnout pulling out of low speed corners now with the built motor. Not the cars greatest moment. #buys more braces.

Cuz I’m always broke AF. Might as well wait until the clutch needs doing so I can do the clutch, light flywheel, lsd install and carbon synchros

Excited for the light flywheel.

Does anyone know the logic behind anti lag? And it’s destruction on turbo chargers?

Real anti-lag basically dumps fuel into cylinder without spark which causes fuel to leave cylinder and ignite in hot exhaust pipes. This causes explosion in exhaust which keeps the turbo spinning. This shock is hard on the turbo which is expecting a smooth exhaust flow.

Anyone have an estimation of labor time to install extended studs by mechanic?

Anybody recognize these wheels from Rays Eng? I cant seem to find what model they are online.

Edit: it was actually on that label, model is the 27Getter, saw them referenced as G27 somewhere else, they seem to be legitimate finally!! Must have been to tired to search properly yesterday evening! Now just wondering about fitment…

Edit2: the more I read about them the more I fear they may be some sort of replica!! I cant seem to find them in 5x108 from any original fitment and pricing is too good to be true for 1150$cad…

A local wheel shop has some in 18x8.5 ET35 at a great price I might be tempted to give them a try, just not sure about the polished lip though…and fitment!

I browsed through the wheels fitment threads and found different opinions on fitment, at 8.5 ET35 this is 8mm more offset outward than my forged wheels with the 12.5mm spacers. I do not like the look of wheels poking from the fenders but feel like the 12.5mm spacers on forged wheels still could have used a bit more offset…but probably not as much as 8mm. Any thoughts or advice? Perhaps not going too wide on tires would minimize the poke effect?

Picture of the wheels from the ad (the inside barrel label is from their add for the 19” version, they didnt post this on the 18” ad…):

@Barroux 8.5 et35 is super standard and doesn’t really poke at all. I find it extremely annoying that soooo many manufacturers won’t offer 5x108 in their more aggressive fitment.

On a stock body that size with 265/35/18 is pretty flush. I run 7mm spacers on top of that

Thanks for your help! Now just need to figure out if they ate legitimate rays wheels or replicas…sure looks pretty good but internet had me worried 😂

Let me know how it goes.......

Seller confirmed they are indeed replicas which is what I suspected based on pricing, bolt pattern which Rays likely never produced in 5x108 for this wheel, etc. He was responsive and very honest about them which was nice from a wheel shop!

They do seem to match the originals very good but I am not willing to gamble on wheel quality if I’m going to track them some day!!

Replicas I am good with, these are pretty much knock offs (manufacturer stamps but not made by them).

Good the seller is honest.

Are they even real forged wheels?

You are likely right about this (mfg stamps/molds/whatever they use to produce), it’s the material selection and mfg process I wouldn't thrust!

I wasn’t actively looking for wheels anyway, I just came across these looking for 5x108 wheels the other day just for fun and wasnt fan of the polished lip. cant say I’m disappointed!!

I did find these Fifteen52 wheels which would be a perfect fit for the RS but would be too much for me even though they still are very cool! Even got Ken’s stamping on the back of one of the spokes!

@Barroux can you send me the name of that shop? Genuinely curious, plus I’m also Canada. Never seen a rep wheel look so accurate, curious what others they sell

Will send you his FB page by PM, does not seem to have a website and seems to offer random wheels/tires…havent searched much in his other adds though. Those replicas definitely are very accurate though!

I would say they are knock off and not replica wheels.

But oh so genuine looking!

My question, would vacuum clutch bleeding work better than pressure clutch bleeding? I feel like my car has air in the clutch, but the pressure bleeding didn't fix the issue completely (Used 3/4 motul bottle). Clutch pedal is slow to return up and the engagement and take off points are lower now and much shorter if that makes sense.

Not sure how it does with the clutch, but I've had mixed results with vacuum bleeding in the past. I know pressure bleeding the clutch itself can be tricky since you have to ensure that the fluid reservoir is practically filled to the brim to ensure no air gets in.

Is there an aftermarket clutch that won't destroy syncros? I'm looking for a replacement flywheel and clutch due to wear and hotspots while my engine is out. Most people online are running Clutchmasters kits with seemingly no issues, but they also haven't given any updates in 2+ years since they put it in.

I saw that in another thread and have been doing that. I was think since I flushed so much fluid already maybe I will fill it to the brim again and bleed out just a little amount of fluid and suck out the excess fluid until its at the max triangle. I have been bleeding it out until the level is at the triangle.
