    Re: Shyboy's 89 Coupe

    people on here normally have 205/50s (closest to stock wheel size). I personally prefer 205/55. but 205/60 and even 195/60 is too big for these cars. i have 195/60s and i don't like them, way too much sidewall

    195/60 is stock, though. Doesn't look too bad? I have 175/70's on my car now and it still isn't too bad. They just look super skinny from the front/back.

    It does. a 195/60/15 tyre has a 1 inch taller diameter than a 195/60/14 tyre

    Yes, although the width and sidewall are the same.

    Re: Shyboy's 89 Coupe

    indeed. which is why people usually go for a smaller profile tyre when changing to larger rims

    Re: Shyboy's 89 Coupe

    Car is gonna be on hold but while its on hold it will have money for some stuff along the way. Busy with work and tired as hell or the sun is down. Should be worth the wait.

    Updates Are:
    Gonna order another set of Fog lights and should look sweet! I been giving it alot of thought since my old ones are melted. gonna mount them like the 86 rola has them but a bit different so that will give ya an idea of how it would look.

    I like the way my black coupe looks with the fogs in the slots.

    Just waiting to get paid to buy the brake pads!!!

    im not sure what to do to the car anymore beside motor work. any ideas on what i should fix while im at it? might change the bushings all around and D2 coilovers soon.

    Re: Shyboy's 89 Coupe

    I need help on figuring out the Ac Outlets on the left firewall and the radiator hose on the firewall in the middle.

    I wanna know how they operate and if they are needed? I do wanna keep the heater of course for when it gets cold. I was thinking of getting like a plug for the 2 ac outlets on the left. Now if i do this will i have any problems with the cooling system on how it operates? Any information will be great. I wanna get the engine bay as clean as possible. I wont be using the AC anytime soon. Thanks

    -Mark

    Re: Shyboy's 89 Coupe

    you can remove the AC hoses without any issues. and if you get under the dash you can remove the big black box thing that has the ac evaperator in it. take it apart pull the evap out and seal off those holes where the AC pipes were on the box with something stick the empty box back in and the fan and heater will blow 90000 times stronger then ever . you will also find about 10 pounds of leafs and dirt in that box LOL
