I have also purchased 5mm wheel spacers, to widen my stock rims' stance. Why don't more people do this, the spacers cost me less than 60 dollars shipped (I bought eight of them). Got them on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8038252823&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 I am wondering if an aluminum flywheel, coupled with a lightened (Unorthodox) U/D crank pulley going to wreck the balance of my otherwise stock engine? I have been told that I can get 5 HP from the U/D pulley and 15 HP from the flywheel. Those gains are too difficult to NOT take seriously! I am also thinking about purchasing a resistor that works as a SuperChip, which tricks the engine into thinking it is 60 degrees. Last question: Which shorty Focus Headers work (WITH STOCK CAT)? Thanks!! 96 GL-Sport 2.0L, MTX Bernardo Bourges' CTA CAI, Dmitri's SVT E0s rims, 205/55R-16, Dunlop SPs.

I doubt that a performance flywheel would be out of spec, but you can get it checked anyway. Also, the CTA is not a CAI. If you want a true CAI, you either have to modify the CTA, or build your own. Don't do the IAT resistor trick. Our PCM's relearn too quickly. If you use it for more than 15 minutes at a time, your PCM will figure it out and throw a CEL (check engine light). Get a SCT xcal2 of you want to tweak things the right way. (If you're really serious, you should consider the SCT xcal2 and the ProRace software.) BTW, cam gears are also a great way of squeezing more power out of the stock engine. HTH, BP Last edited by ButtonPuncher; 03/09/06 02:17 AM.

Thanks!! The reason people don't get those wheel spacers is because they aren't hub centric like the H&R ones are and will surely wreck either your wheel studs, wheel hubs/bearings, or the wheels themselves. The answer for the shorty headers is, none. Ohsigmachi '96 GL MTX Zetec --I don't won't to hurt you, but it's still on my list of things to do.-- View projectSlippery Slope
