Offset:
This is very important to know if you are planning on purchasing aftermarket rims. The offset is the distance in mm between the centre line of the wheel rim, and the line through the fixing (hub) face. You can have positive, negative or neutral offset.

AutoModified Reply: Thurswin, there are a number of things you can do to improve the power. Like i tell everybody the best place to start is with the exhaust, getting those exhaust gasses out quicker is always a good place to start.

Haha, this is the best play on words that I have come across in a LONG time. Photoshop can really produce some classy manipulated images. I actually so want to print this out and stick it in a photo frame. With the way that the oil prices are going these days we can all relate to this some what.

Brenton’s V8 S13 has received a lot of bad reviews in the past and sat on Gumtree for sale for a long time as there were rumours going around about the chassis being skew, everyone warned me about this car.

starting off with the normal performance upgrades would a start to reaching your power gain, so a full branch and exhausts system for starters. The I would work the head with Cams and get it ported and bigger valves.
