iRacing is an actual simulator as is rFactor. If you don't want to pay the monthly fees for iRacing, then r-Factor is your best bet. The console games look great but in the end they're not the best simulators.

The date tires were manufactured and the date they were put into service are both relevant.

It's definitely not because of the directional design. If you want to throw out tires after 5-6 years of their date code, it's your money.

The 17x8+35 Type-01's have about 13mm of clearance with oem front calipers on a '92. Below is the calculation. On a '92 NSX with stock brakes, the 17x8 Blitz Type 01 with the low pad center clears the front calipers with a 3mm spacer. I don't remember exactly where they rub without a spacer...

Nice videos. It looks like heel-toe messes up your braking sometimes and you end up going slower through the turns, especially at the second left hander after the front straight (turn 3?). It also doesn't look like you're full throttle in second gear for very much which would help explain why...

A 235/40/17 is probably going to rub quite a bit as mentioned. I don't know how you feel about that. How low is the Type-R suspension? I ran 12kg fronts with stock front swaybar and raised the car until there was no rubbing under suspension compression. It didn't look pretty but it worked...

I had rubbing with 235/40/17 Bridgestone RE-01R's. It rubbed the inside fender area with larger steering angles as well as rubbing the plastic vents in front of the wheels at smaller steering angles. I think those size tires will rub during suspension compression for certain types of bumps and...

Wouldn't the stock US 5 speed with a higher ratio ring and pinion result in closer spacing of 2-5 at speed? This would seem to be a superior setup compared to the stock 5 speed with stock ring and pinion based on your line of reasoning in the second paragraph. A little back on topic: I'd...

You already have one hole in the nut, just drill it bigger. Just be careful not to bottom out on the spacer. If it's still stuck, drill on the other side and so on. I don't know what type of relationship you have with the shop that over torqued the nut but you may want to bring this up to...

+3 although I like the offsets and think the wheels would look much better in black.

You don't need any special tools other than the usual alignment tools (camber/caster gauge and toe plates/strings).

Have you tried the 2x4 method? Also, don't forget to unbolt the swaybar endlink so the lower control arm can pivot downwards easier.

Add me to the list of those interested in a poly bushing option.

The prior post brings up another question. Do you have the correct spanner wrench?

I don't know if everyone is blowing this out of proportion. The OP seems to want to know more about what is missing and his available options. I agree that it's not a big deal although it has led to some very informative posts, particularily those that list potential resources. When building...
