OB '04 Coupe Premium w/Performance Wheel & Tire
so i traded my rims for some stock 17" rims but the tires the guy had on them were 215/50/17 is that a problem? they look kinda small and the inside of the door says 225/50/17 and 235/50/17 im planning on getting some new tires soon but will the 215s cause any problems i should be worried about?

I havent updated that page for a very long time, it really doesnt reflect how the car looks at all anymore.
Which oem 17's? You should be able to run a square setup on the OEM 17's. IIRC, the OEM 17's are 17x7+45 so that should allow you to run 225/50 or 225/55 on all four corners, the 55 series should be cheaper. If the wheels are staggered then you can do 17x7 with 225/55 and 17x7.5 with 235/55. Again it would be best to know which 17's to maximize traction, handling and tread life
Hey, I have an automatic sedan with a little over 180k miles.
The problem is, sometimes when accelerating, there seems to be a drop when the car is switching into gear. Like a sudden silent thud, but i can feel it from time to time. Is this a problem with the transmission, or is this a problem that anyone is familiar with?
A second problem is when stopped abruptly, my car won't accelerate again until a few seconds later even when i push on the gas. Could this be my brakes. Another hint that the brakes are malfunctioning is that there are fluids that appears on the driver side front rims. Seems to be breaking fluid.
If anyone has these problems, lets get together and figure them out.

2inch drop not enough
i just recently lowered my 04sedan with some tein lowerin springs only a 2 inch drop, i have 19x8.5 infront and 19x10.5 in back and the gap between the fender and tire is still too much. besides the obvious (coilovers) what else can i do to have more of a drop ? without spending alot more money
.... thanks.
.... thanks.
do you guys know what this is?

THE BOTTOM cable with black handle.
it has a pic of a trunk opening but it has like no tension, it just hangs there, You can't pull it down.
I finally got my yellow fog bulbs. still need hid bulbs haha. & I plastidipped my wheels and bottom trim.

In all honesty, I dont know. Kind of wondered about it myself but never bothered to ask.
yea I don't see any use for it, doesn't do anything. just gonna tuck it away in between the trunk and the cover.
Secondary trunk release, in case of power loss. It's should be velcroed to the trunk lining. Sounds like it's broken, close your trunk and reach in from the access panel between the rear seats to see if it works.
Isn't that the purpose of the white glow in the dark one
Maybe it's tough to reach through the access panel
? That's the description straight out of the manual. Does the glow in the dark one do anything if there's no power, that could be the difference.

Are you sure your reading the info for the right one? The glow in the dark one works with no power I'm pretty sure, its a cable. The cable on the black one is so small too, I think it would break if you gave it a yank
