right offset. You can find them by searching and most of them will be charcoal grey.
I wanted the silver instead and its not as readily available. I found these on Amazon
being sold by LSD Motorsports. I think Tires & Wheels | Car Tires & Wheels | SUV/Truck Tires & Wheels | Discount Tire had them in the charcoal. I don't
think Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels even carries them at all.

Konig has been making the Rewinds for awhile now and they come in 4x110 with the

This morning I mounted my holley fuel pressure regulator to the firewall. I have seen a lot of people having clearance issues with the inlet at the pinch weld and the gauge hitting the hood. I used stainless button head socket screws and aluminum spacers that allowed me to mount the regulator in the perfect spot (Pics of hardware specs below). I will probably be adding a 90 degree elbow to the inlet side and sourcing a smaller fuel filter so the line will run straight across the firewall to the regulator. The other day I finished my fc fuse box install, so I just have to connect the power wire from the relay I added and mount the new Carter pump.

Picked up a 3 piece spoiler today (cheap). Received my boost prepped yaw nikki carb back from jeff20b today too. Not to long ago bought a jdm 12a turbo motor that i will be cleaning up and getting ready for install in my car after i change the intermediate plate and send the motor off to be pinned.

Yesterday I messed with the wiring for my headlights so now they work, but then i found out my oil metering pump **** the bed. So today I will be looking up everything about premixing and bypassing the pump. SMH hopefully my apex seals are fine enough to get me through this winter. I know I have a small compression problem because she doesn't want to immediately fire up when at operating temp.

In the last weekend or so, I've replaced all the coolant hoses, replaced the alternator belt and replaced the air pump belt. The coolant was very dark and had little chunks of rubber in it. I had to flush it three times to get it looking clean.
Does anyone know what the torque specs are on the coolant drain plug on the intermediate housing by the way? I couldn't find the crush washer anywhere, so I reused it and didn't apply much torque to the plug. No leaking or anything, so I guess it's fine.
I also washed and waxed my car as it got over 60 degrees yesterday! Looks pretty good, but I still have a bunch of wax from the previous owner caked in between the pin-stripes. He must of used some spray-wax or something. Unfortunately snow will keep me from driving it for probably a week or so. Any ideas on how to remove the nasty looking wax caked in? I started going at it with a toothpick, but I was nervous about scratching the paint.

Yesterday (not today), I replaced the passenger side door weather-stripping, wow getting those little plastic clips out is a nightmare if they get mangled in anyway. I lost at least four or five in the door.
I replaced the current air-filter with a K&N air filter.
I checked the oil in the steering box. It was pretty hard to tell how much was in there. I used the flashlight on my phone and it looked like there was some oil in there. The FSM suggests "making a dipstick" , but I wasn't sure what to make it out of. I assume there is no way to drain the steering box, without removing it from the car?

"lubed for Life" Just top it up, unless you want to get a syringe or some such and suck out the old stuff...
