Does this exclude questions that you actually know are too stupid to ask?

How do you reset the Check Engine Light when you have fixed the problem?

Shade2012 · 11-15-2012, 02:43 PM

Unhook the battery for about 15 minutes.

If it hasn't reset automatically I think you can have a mechanic reset it with his code reader thing.

That is NOT worth the time. Especially since your just going to use it as a DD.

There are no write-ups because its literally a waste of time.

Gtomike72 · 11-15-2012, 08:44 PM

Waste of time...you are probably right...but to see the looks on people's faces when they see the rear tires burn is priceless! I also have a LS2/6 speed out of a 05 GTO in my engine collection

Gtomike72 · 11-15-2012, 08:46 PM

As far as the daily driver part...may be retired soon as my dad may be giving me his mid 2000s? Bonniville when he gets a new car

[ChaosweaveR] · 11-15-2012, 08:50 PM

Want RWD? Get a RWD car.

/discussion

Save that LS2/T56 for a project. I'd find an early 90's Chevy 1500 2WD Pickup shortbed and make a killer sleeper.

Can you flip the engine around and make it rear-engine?

I guarantee with most people's knowledge about cars they don't even pay attention and/or know the GA is FWD to begin with.

TDavis · 11-15-2012, 09:31 PM

I has question.

Will an 18x8.5 wheel with a 20mm offset on a 225/40/18 tire fit on the GA?

20 offset will really fill out the wheel well nicely.

A 225/40 on a 8.5 wide wheel? I'd run at least a 245/40 tire...but that may sit too tall. I'll check to see how common a 245/35 R18 tire would be.

Yeah that the only problem is if the 245 will fit, height wise I think it will since its literally almost identical from the side, top and bottom from a 225/40 tire, just dunno about the width. 245/35 would be nice though seeing as its pretty much identical to 225/40 besides the width of course.

Put them into this site to see the size differences and pretty much the same except the width.

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

And then using this for the width purposes. Its apparently 0.7" from sidewall to sidewall bigger then stock. So it will extend inside the wheel well a little under a 3/4" It will stick outside the wheel well an extra 1.3" which I think will be near flush with the fender. BTW random question. Are the front fenders flared more or less or not at all more then the rears?

http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

But I've heard with such a low offset on a FWD car it will make the alignment jacked and the car will want to go different ways at high speeds.

DrFabulous · 11-16-2012, 05:30 AM

That offset might be actually sticking out of the wheel well a bit.
