The story so far:

\*Driver’s side mirror smashed by a Mercury Sable last fall.  
\*T-boned on the passenger side by a deer in early winter.  
\*Backed into a Cavalier in January. Quarterpanel and bumper damage.  
\*Smashed by Mini Cooper last week. Hole in rear bumper.

…all in the first 25,000 miles.

The car goes into Wright this week to repair the body.

“Upgrades” so far:

\*Silverstar low beams. (Bluish headlights = teh fast)  
\*BFGoodrich Traction T/As (because the Hankooks lasted 10k miles)  
\*Clear front indicator bulbs. (to stand out from the other Suzuki Renos on the road. All three of them.)

I really don’t know enough about matching a turbo to an engine to answer that. I hear GT28RSs and GT2871s are “teh shit”, but I’d want someone who knows what they’re talking about to help me make that kind of decision.

Looking for a 17" wheel + tire bundle today.

Probably going with Enkei GF-1s. I just need to find out what they weigh.

if your getting 17" enkei’s get the Nt03 M(17lbs), or Rpf1(15lbs)… the ones you are looking @ look a lot like OZ superleggeras

they are nice but I think the others i listed look a little better though  
Nt03 M

**oh & FYI.**

edgeracing sells enkei reasonable & is having a GOOD sale on enkei Rp02 (15lbs for 17") on $89 each!!!

lol… i want the GF1s _because_ they look like Superleggeras.

It’s incredibly fucked up that 205/40/17s are cheaper than 195/55/15s. I’m going to save money every time I buy tires now.

edit: Edge doesn’t have any of those wheels in my bolt pattern anyway. 4x114.3

i didn’t realize you were 4x114.3

if you like superleggeras…  
talk to gearhead & see what his price on them are from tirerack.  
not sure but might be cheaper then the enkei :dunno:

Tossed VisionRX7’s Motegi FF7s on yesterday… I need to get a lower profile tire, but I like them otherwise… 16x7.5s.
