There Michelin x competition tires 24/64/18 on sc430 wheels

I just got some work meister s1's so they will be off soon.

I got this car not too long ago. It was a complete and utter nightmare.

Ebay turbo kit 1.21 exhaust housing 3x larger than the cold side lol (thrown in trash immediately)
Complete wiring hacked up
cracked rim and 4 bald tires
2 kyb shocks up front and 2 blown stocks in rear (trashed)
Wouldn't rev past 3k
Ac unit,power locks and tail lights didn't work
Fuel pump and fans wired to ignition
Just to name a few things wrong when i got it.

I have come to the conclusion that if a deal is too good to be true it usually is...

yeah most of the time it is...now that you've identified a majority of the problems-let the build begin! LOL. Saw the wheels that you're going with in another thread! Very nice! How long did you have to wait for these?

Welcome and welcome to Raleigh. I'm also from NYC originally and live in Raleigh for a few years now, awesome place. Not many SC's around this area, just a few including mine that I know of with mods and what not.
