thanks for the replies,

so a 225/50/15 is the widest.

Is anyone running this size as I don't want to risk any fender contact?

does it look like it was plugged in before you did the swap - like are the terminals clean or dirty? I've got one and my car is non a/c - is it that?

thanks - I am fed up with skidding around in the Vancouver rain with 200 hp on 2mm of tread!

I've looked at a whole load of posts and I still can figure out what is the widest tyre that fits without fouling to a standard 15" GS rim?<p>Is it 205, 215 or 225?<p>thanks

I get around 425km to 450km with my 2.5 - mostly stop/go commute of 70km a day - no highway - I have the pleasure of 53 sets of traffic signals each way as well!

I reluctantly have to agree it's either take the engine and transmission out OR just loosen off the top engine mount and the tranmission mount. That worked fine - way too much effort for something which should just come out easy though!<p>thanks

How do you get this one off - I loosened the centre through bolt but their is no clearance to take it out. Next idea take off the 2 bolts which hold the mount housing to the transmision case - again no clearance to get the bolts out. Finally tries jacking the engine/ transmission up and down to see ...

depens what 2.5 you've got - my KLZE runs great with a K8 ecu + 2.5 a-spec VAF, if you have a KLDE you'll need the 2,5 ecu and VAF as well<p>good luck

thanks - so I guess a worn bushing will have bits of rubber hanging from it or I'll see a gap where the bolt or bar goes through?

anyway of telling without stripping everything down?

I have the clunk that everybody seems to get once their cars get old - I would appreciate any advice on changing the bushings in the control arms and sway bar as the Chilton's manual & the on-line manual seem to say just about the whole front end has to come off - is this true? I've already take...

Has anybody fitted these bushings themselves, as I would like to know how easy it is to do and what to watch out for?<p>thanks

I'm no guru but I can remember one post from David Coleman where he installed the same clutch as you and he had to make up a rod to put in the clutch release arm where it hits the clutch hydaulic piston to fix exactly the same problem you have - it worked really well and cost only a couple of $'s. Y...

Aircare went great once I had the 2.5vaf fitted - it got the fastpass after about 3 minutes!<p>My mx3 is black and I'm usually around the Tricities area and through to Vancouver where I work,

what's the code the engine check light is on for?
