Btw. Someone have the max sized tires I can put on base 18 wheels? I can't remember if it was 245/35 or 40. And 275/35 or 40. I'm ordering tires asap. Rears are shot after that trip.

just get you a piece of sheet metal about the size of a piece of paper.. you'll need a good pair of scissors to cut it in half, but first measure the oil cooler, then based off that cut your plate, and do it in 2 places.

Use rubbing alcohol to clean the sides of the oil cooler, then use velcro extreme on the outer edges of the oil cooler, do the same with the sheet metal..

I usually slide both pieces through the grill.. its a tight fit, but you can do it.

your tires were shot before you made the trip..

I need to find out what's going on with Chase. Still haven't heard from the guy regarding my spoiler.

Do me a favor and check your oil levels and feel/look at the filter and cooler area to make sure nothing is leaking after the drive home.

good idea mr. madwi

You may have to play with adjusting the exhaust. Might be tapping the x brace or something.

All I know is I am not crawling under there to check.

JLarson · 05-14-2018, 01:05 PM

Lol. It's Lein's problem now.

Lein, the reason I asked about the heat shields is depending on the kind of noise you're hearing, they may be vibrating against the cat section of the pipe. I removed mine on the 370z. I left them on my 350, and they caused nothing but problems.

Oil levels look solid still. Will check for leaks and filter when I get to my house. Don't have ramps or jacks at Susan's. Don't hear any vibrations at all currently. Going to grab lunch, gas, a d go to lowes for the plate stuff. No word FROM Seb today yet and still nothing from Chase....
