Both water lines are factory, oil-feed is after market stainless braided.

Yeah 9's in the front 10's out back. They look horrrid becasue they have about 9 months of brake dust on them. I pretty much refuse to wash the car.

Thanks for the info, I wouldnt of noticed the pulley until I had the new pump bolted on.

Right now it doesnt matter, I got some 235's up front for now and the p/s pump decided to play nice for a while. I'll see how it goes tomorrow, if it acts up at all I'll change it out after work.

I like the quicker steering response of 235's and they seem to have a serious amount of grip. Initial turn in is still really good and a bit more sharp feeling, but it pushes a bit more than I remember, but its also way more smooth since its not bouncing off the fenders and rubbings and being stupid. Big thing was with the new motor I enter corners with a lot more speed which I'm not used to. So far so good.

But I still want to eventually go back to 255's and revamp my steering system.

maybe split the difference and do 245 fronts.
it will turn in faster, and youve got staggered wheels, so it makes sense and junk.

around 10k-12k maybe more. They were on the car since last june. And in the first 2 weeks I put almost 2.5k on them. Since then its been DD some spirited driving and one track event where I shared my car so it saw about 40 laps that where a minute each.

Rears where completely toasted, fronts still had some life left. If I ran less camber/castor (currently -2.4/7.5ish) they'd of laster even longer.
