My FS-powered Probe.
This is my car. It's a 94 Probe with some stuff. I'm not big into appearance mods, so it looks pretty stock. Anyway, I'm new here so I figured I'd post it.

Thanks. I bought them cause they weigh 13.8 lbs. per rim though.
I'd be curious to see if they fit on the Protege. I have to run a spacer to use them, so I'm not sure if they'd work. You guys might have to space them out so far that they look like 100 spoke Daytons. 
Anyway, thanks.

How's that weight shift working out for ya?

I think you need to re-check your information before you make posts like this.

No big deal though...
Anybody have any other thoughts, comments, questions about the car?

[edit] By the way, the KL series engine in the PGTs are some of the BEST sounding cars when equipped with exhaust, in my opinion... Ther is a guy around here with a PGT w/ exhaust and it sounds sooooooooo goooood! I can't wait for that KL-ZE swap!

And you're right, the KL series engines do sound sweet with exhaust. I'm a big fan of my Borla catback on the FS though.

Thanks! If you find a GT, go for it. They're much quicker out of the box. Most drivers can pull mid-to-high 15s stock. The 4-banger has a lot of advantages though as well...
More room under the hood, better gas mileage, lighter, etc. I'm not sure what your goals would be, but, IMO, the 2.0L is better for big power. Top feed injectors, MAF rather than a VAF... Anyway, good look finding one. Let me know if you have any more questions.

All A-spec 3rd gen. (93-95) RX-7 wheels were 16x8, no matter the model. Tire size is unimportant, as I have tires that match my stock overall wheel/tire diameter, rather than the ones that came on the RX.
