I agree :pic: smile.gif

you shouldn't have to reset anything. Just make sure you coincide with this link

Default Re: Exhaust Help

Yea all i have done so far is new wheels. Going to do some of the DIY this weekend when i change my brake lines. Will also post some pics soon. I was just wondering about resetting it since some say to do so after anything you add or change on the car. Thanks for all your help.

if your wheel/tire combo is sized properly you shouldn't have to reset the ECU.

If they DON'T keep the overall profile of your stock rims/tires you need to have your speedo calibrated......this is NOT done by resetting the ECU. you have to take it to a shop to have it done.

wheel spacers would probably do it, only thing is if you get a set that are flush in the back you're screwed and still have to take out the screws (i drilled mine out) then sanded everything down.

Anybody have a link to a nice set of well-machined wheel spacers? I don't need much offset increase, just in the back a lil bit, i'd like to see the wheels match up with the wheel well... Thnx


refer to page 1 of this thread (even on to page 2) : http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?name=Fo...=viewtopic&t=22

It'll answer all you're questions about those screws and the difference between captive and non-captive rotors.

I just suggest to be carefull with wheel spacers, they work great for show but it you're going for a decent track time your asking for trouble. And by track times I don't just mean at the track. Everyday beating takes it's toll on those.
