That is a really dangerous path to go down! I've been doing the same but decided that money would go better towards a down payment on a 6MT IPL that I've had my eyes on for a while...

What I was doing (you should consider the same) was lurking the following forums since Volks are up on the FS sections ALL the time:

evolution M
Naisoc
S2ki
Acurazine
the370z
iwsti

All of the above forums have tons and tons of Volks for usually fair prices and you'll find a goldmine of other JDM choices. The hardest part is usually finding offsets that you can run lol. I've been considering TE37SLs but my options were more limited due to having AWD. Happy hunting!

Z1 magnetic oil drain bolt, along with my first UOA. I've been using Castrol Edge Titanium for the past 30,000 miles since I got the car at 60,000 miles. After reading the oil thread here and The370z.com, I decided to make the switch to Mobil 1 0w40.

First impression is that on cold start (following morning was about 35 degrees F) it was more quiet and motor seems more 'smooth'. I am happy to have made the switch.

Look like they belong there. Much better than that weird two-tone spoke design.

Not everyone will want repaired wheels. I have my eyes on a set of BBS wheels I like. Tough finding the offsets I want on pre-made wheels with the width that I want. Hopefully I can find something with 9.5 width and 20ish offset. I love the fitment on my winter wheels with 9.5 +28. Could be a tiny bit more aggressive, so anything between 20 and 25.

My impulsive self is looking at this: https://www.sparktecmotorsports.com/...55114ma20.html
But my practical self cant force itself to spend that much money on a 7 year old car with 123 k km on it.

Oh wow, that really sucks, Andy. What kind of air pressure are you running?


I know its a hassle, but a good wheel repair shop can weld and repair that wheel and make it look like new again.... so don't fret too much about it.

Yup, already got a quote. For those wheels I was running 35 psi.

I'm already running a extra transmission cooler along with an upgraded valve body but the OEM clutch packs just can't handle all that extra power.
