With the Volk GT-S 19x10.5 +18 in the rears you will NOT be able to run a 10mm or 15mm (is possible of you drill a lil) "bolted on hubcentric wheel spacer" because there is not enough hole clearance for the original studs to sit on the back of the wheel.

The only way to run say a 10mm or a 15mm spacer is you would have to go wit the extended stud route. hope that helps and save you time in the future of mistakenly purchasing it

 

Car looks great. The drop is perfect IMO but then again, Im not into that slammed look. Great job on the car, what part of PA are you from?

 

Good call. I actually have not had any first-hand experience with GTS wheels so I definitely overlooked this aspect. (IMO extended studs are the way to go over adapter-type spacers any day, and that's coming from a guy currently running adapter-type spacers).

 

Thanks for looking out.

Thanks, ideally I would want it a bit lower but I think it looks pretty decent at the current ride height. I'm like 40 minutes from Philadelphia.

Yea I think i'd end up using extended studs if I went the spacer route too.

 

Update: MREV2 and 5/16 Copper Iso-Thermal Plenum Spacer were installed today. It was also tuned with Osiris Uprev by R/T Tuning and dyno'ed on their DynoJet. I'll try to get the dyno chart up if I can somehow scan it.

The final numbers are...

272.89 HP
263.94 TQ

 

Not bad!

 

I was definitely happy with how everything came out .

 

Here is a link to my thread in the tuning section and the dyno chart as well.

Here is a recent iPhone shot

 

Recently had the car detailed and the paint is finally swirl free!

 

looking good as always ^

 

*ahem* photoshoot *cough* get at me *cough cough*

 

Thanks!

Hahaha, soon man, I'm so busy with random stuff all the time I haven't had much time to dedicate to the car.

Did you do anything to the Z recently?

 

Looking clean Dan, I need a detail myself too

How much did you end up paying?

 

No problem man, I'm just bustin your chops. I haven't done much to it lately, just blacked out the front bumper reflectors. Thinking about changing up the body kit at some point but who knows.

 

Thanks Wais. The swirls on the black paint were just driving me crazy.

I had a full corrective exterior detail which was around $400. It included stripping other waxes, prepping the car to be polished, 2-3 polishing stages, wet sanding in some spots, 2 coats of sealant, and 1 coat of wax to top that off. The headlights were also wet sanded a bit to get them to be more clear as well.

I also had these two small dents removed in the hatch. The minor scratches that were on the car have definitely become less noticeable and finally for once there are no more swirls .

Nice, i've been wanting my Aerosync bumper back at times haha. Also i'm considering Chargespeed CF Bottom Line side skirts but my wallet says no. I'm the same way I always have a billion different plans in mind.

 

Wowzers, you went all out. Good thinking!

 

Haha I thought why not since I couldn't see myself doing a full correction twice. I'm sure your paint won't be as much of a pain to correct as the magnetic black was.

I was going to go for this new CQuartz application but it was too expensive for me at the time. It's apparently a new ceramic coating that protects the paint and seals it so you don't have to wax or polish the paint for up to 2 years after applying it.

 

Thought i'd update my thread with a photo that a local photographer Chaz Boyd took. Love the way it came out. A few more should be on the way.

 

Your car's perfect
