not sure on the wheel size. will be attending a PPI tomorrow at a shop im not familiar with, but in speaking with more than a few locals PCA folk in the area it gets high marks. bummed the car is a bit too far to get it done at my preferred shop, but they've coached me up and ive got a check list of things I will need to be examined. im bringing my own new oil filter unannounced so the current one can be removed and cut open.... the wheels after looking closer at an add for the car at KBB they are in fact techart. I will look to see if they are 18 or 19's.

on another note im being told that 55-60K miles is likely it for the clutch in these cars. the clutch in this car has not been and I thought I felt some slippage going from 2nd to 3rd getting on a clear freeway on the power hard, very hard. ive been coached on what the pedal "should" feel like,,,, but having not experienced a good, or bad one how do ya know? any good clutch threads here you might share would be the berries.


the wheels seemed to fit fine jeff. can you elaborate on how the 19's are less than a good choice? I liked the wheels a lot originally, but they are kinda ungrowing on me...
