This just goes to prove what I've been saying for the past couple weeks...this guy is a tool and a pathological liar who failed miserably at trying to impress people who actually know a single thing about cars. At least now we have proof positive that this kid is full of shit - Way to be Parish!!!

normal rational people + anonymity + case of the stupids = people making a fool of themselves online.

I want to go back to stock tires. I already got a set of 14" del sol OEM wheels. Currently I have 17" with low profile kumho on them. I didnt like the harsh ride compared to my SLK. What u guys think? is it going to help me in acceleration from stop?

i guess that depends on the tire size. I have 15's with a 2" drop, seems pretty decent.

My clutch engagement point is very narrow may be 1 inch. My friend has 350z and his engagement point is very long i guess about 5 inches. Do u all have such a narrow cluth engagement point or my clutch is worn?

Yeah, my Nissan's clutch pedal is currently
like this, but the clutch has only 5000+/- miles on
it, (Clutchmaster Stage 1), and no slippage at all, so
I have to bring it to Nissan to get it back to buttery smoothness.
Scenario: I put it in reverse, going to work, half-asleep,
hear a "pop", and the pedel doesn't "return"/dead on
the floor. Anyway, after two trys, (the first being a
Peruvian who only got it "working", the second helped
a little, but not much), I'm sick of it, plus the clutch
pedal spring(s) make so much noise. 
Something is wrong.
Plus, like you said, it "grabs" way too early now. |

Ok Guys,
I put stock 14" back on my del sol(tire size 185/60/14). Now the ride is smooth as a luxury car. Its great experience coz with my 17" ride was very rough n too much of viibration.Now the concern is
1: Car lies way too low now( with side skirts clearence is only 2 inches from ground). It migh rub the body kit in event of flat tire.
2: Now on highway speeds I feel less grip then my old low profile Kumho with 17' rims
