The optional adapter seems to neck down to 2.5". Probably not ideal since your Tomei is 80mm. You may need a custom adapter or maybe PTuning can make one for you

Haha, Same thing happened to me too. I finally picked the car up yesterday and full throttle even in 5th will bust em out (I'm still on the stock tires). Just kinda chuckled, and did it again, hehe.

The PTUNING Windshield Washer Reservoir is done and should be ready to ship out beginning of next week.

- The aluminum reservoir holds 3.5 quarts of fluid--definitely plenty for the DC metro winter. Sized to allow for provision of brake cooling ducts.

- Installation takes less than 30min once the front bumper cover is removed.

- No modification of any kind required.

- The reservoir will reuse the factory reservoir's fill neck, mounting clip, pump & grommet. So dig up those parts you removed during the original turbo system installation and have it ready, if you decide to purchase our reservoir.

Contact your PTUNING sales rep for pricing if you're interested--quantity is limited.

Alrighty, installation question for you folks!!

I've got the RCE T2's installed on the car with Raceseng camber plates. Camber was set at -3 before I started this turbo install. After we re-installed the sway bar included in the kit, we proceeded to install the end links. I turned the hub assembly to get some clearance to make the connections and noticed that it was extremely close on top. When I turned the assembly one way, the top would scrape against the wheel well. When I turned the assembly the other way, the bottom of the coilover would come into contact with the body of the end link.





Will this problem will solve itself when I lower the car back down onto the ground? I'm pretty sure I have the endlinks situated the correct orientation, the top facing the rotors, and the bottom facing the motor. Patrick at the shop advised to reel in the camber a little from -3 degrees and it may solve the problem. I obviously haven't screwed with it and just thought I'd deal with it later. If anyone has any insight, please advise?

@buddy32 I can't confirm if it is better or not on the ground, however I did check my car since it is on stands now. I have about an inch clearance from the bottom of the end-link to the arm. My coilovers have about -1 camber and a 1 inch drop. My end links are not set to the shortest setting either. Mine don't touch. Is your car slammed or what?

@rb6freak, good call. I'm at about 1.5 inch drop if I remember correctly. Mental note made to adjust that to see if it helps.
