8th Gen Sonic's Slow Build (Warning FA5 Inside)

ErckleSi said:
That's too bad I hope I get them. And do u think 225 will be ok for the s/c I just want as much grip as I can get
Edit: I guess if I get traction control it wouldn't matter would it? sorry if I'm flooding u with questions lol

If ur looking for grip run 235/40/17 all around, but 225 is fine too. Traction control actually does make a good difference. Nah man ur good, I will try to help u in any way during ur build.

Im glad to hear that thanx bud! My rims are 18s stock and right now I'm on the stock 225 40 18 all the way around. Do you have to keep the tire width the same on the front and back?

Blue is my favorite color, originally wanted black on my fg1 but they didn't have any in a 25 mile radius for months. Fiji Blue Pearl is what I really wanted tho. That's why I bought my FA5.

Lol only blue on the 9ths are dyno blue pearl so I'm glad u just opted for black. I believe u but another great head turner is the new orange fire pearl.

Yeah ur right bout the red seats. honestly speaking since the beginning of the si era they should have had an option for color. I was never fond of red everything I know it's racing / jdm colors but still. I rather have blue badges, blue & black interior etc. u know what I mean but eventually I will end up making my interior blue & black on my own.

Well they kinda do that for the r18s but I get what ur saying but I like the red everything haha. But I would be better for that option it would attract more buyers

I know that lol I have my fg1. Even tho they do that for the r18 it doesn't have a k20 so what's the point. Red & or blue also doesn't match every car color either.

It's not a bad car I love it that's why I haven't sold it. It was turbo'd for 3-4 years pushing 11 psi reliably. Literally give me no issues what's so ever. Wanna know what's even crazier other than the fact that it was turbo'd? it's an automatic

Yup, never gotten any solid numbers last time I put it on the dyno there was a boost leak after I fixed it I never went back due to financial situation. Ended up pulling the turbo kit in July 6, 2013 to fund my FA5 build.
