Hehe, I wonder who will be the first of us to get all the nasty bonding/rubbing down/filling/spraying first Joe! Hopefully me, as I am paying a pro to do mine ;) You have a suspected cracking exhaust manifold already?? Crikey, who made it? I hope they fix it up good and check for other weaknesses for you. At least its nice and easy to access/remove on a Z22 :)

OK, that sounds and acts like a pre-O2 air leak, so get it fixed. And we need proof/pix! :happy:

Look at the amount of extra room in the rear wheel arch :wub: Looks like enough to sqeeze 19" rims to me, with 30% profile and loads of width. Not so sure about the space that will be available under the fronts though...
