sounds good sho. will PM you if i make up my mind..for the bars

but the touch up paint sounding good.

If you ordering the bar tell me so you can group the touch up paint as well.

PM me and we will organize color etc. Razz


I'm with you guys on touch up paint Group Buy....

Also smiling to myself about you guys and your paint chips from random highway stones. It took me about 12 months to get over the sick feeling in my stomach everytime something went "PAX" on my CY's body or windscreen. I actually kept a log of all the chips on the bumper and body due to stones.

you'll get over it eventually because there's basically NOTHING you can do to prevent it (INCLUDING driving slowly or away from other vehicles) and to fix it all requires paint over.

touch up paint tho, sounds like a plan!

SHO! Let's talk bout the Power Foam throttle clean out - it's long overdue!

yea i was at a stand still by a traffic light when my dent occurred.

I also have another retarded question.

would 18" x 8.5" 5x114 rims fit well on the CY?

or 18" x 7.5" 5X100

these things new to me. Rolling Eyes

the offset (100 vs 114) is the problem there. the stud bolt pattern needs to be identical. the width of the rims is subject to tolerances inside the fender wall area.

CY rims arent universal (carrying both 100/114 bolt patterns) so it wont work - unless (subject to confirmation), the CY GT rims are 114 pattern - then you'd need to swap out the hubs, front and rear.

I saw a couple CY with aftermarket rims. I don't want to be swapping out hubs.

I just need the bolt pattern and offset or whatever else...

SHO?

ok here we go again Laughing
you can safely go from my research up to a 8.5" wheel

now if you have a cy2a you have 16" oem wheels these are 5x114.3 (114.3 is the pcd or pitch center diameter) offset is 46 mm and the wheel is 16x6.5
now the 18" wheel on the GT models are 5x114.3 offset is 46mm and the wheel is 18x7 the hub outer diamet is 67mm
if you are going with a wider rim like a 18x8 or 18x8.5 you must change the offset to about any where between 35mm to 40mm so that the inside of the wheel maintains a safe distance from the inside of he control arm and so that you dont change the geometry of the suspension to much

as for the paint check out the link below

thanks for the response SHO.

so what you think about these?

http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=30

I checked Garvin's Performance Shop for ENKEI for $9000.00 + Tires $5000.00 <-- Shocked

Also Checked Mileage Mack for some AXIS Hiro for $8500.00 + did not even bother to ask for tire price.

So i stepping down to rota's lol I saw a couple posts about someone who sells them here...Will call them on monday.

I looking at this design.



Specs: http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=30

good stuff. i didnt realize that both models carry same pcd. that's a nice piece of info - runs to browse rim options...

Group buy on touch up? Shipping shouldnt be that expensive...

One question. I see that this lancer is tough and its probably better than the new sedans by toyota, honda, nissan etc.

But which is better between this and the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6?

Cool

And we can even have a group site... similar to this

Click for full-size.

I believe the touch up paint is a mini brush not a spray
