Do non directional tyres have left and right versions? just wondering since the design will fit very differently between many for left and right

Some tyres are both directional and asymmetrical and can therefore only be fitted onto a certain side of a car, but they're rare.

Is there a visual way to tell if the head gaskets have been replaced? apart from taking the motor apart

A receipt?

Otherwise, nope, if done properly it should be indistinguishable from a "virgin" motor.

about the wheel offset, as I know my current v8 WRX stock offset is +53. The previous owner change the wheel to 17x7.5 (info from LVV), I don't know the offset of this wheel but I want to change to a black wheel so what offset should I get as 17x7.5? After a few searching, they said the minimum should be +48 but some guys said it would be ok to get +40 offset so what offset should I looking for??

If they've used a s/s gasket on an older engine that's a give away

Is there a visual way to tell with out removing heads? I can see a little of the gasket in a couple of places where it is proud of the head. To me it looks like a stainless steel one. But I don't know what an original one looks like. Just trying to figure out if it has been done, as i did have some over heating issues and wanted to check if the H/G had been changed. The engine is a EJ25 from a 1998 BH legacy.

This will sound a little stupid but Is there any factory steel wheel that fits around 4 pots? e.g one that I could put nana spec hubcaps on.. like the rims on this. Or would anyone know if a spacer would work or still no go?

Suffice to say it's very very likely the sensor itself. If it's pinging enough to give you a CEL I'm amazed it runs at all still - normally all it should do is pull all the boost and timing it can

Can you hear it pinging? IF audible to the hooman ear it sounds like a very harsh little crack sound under load, almost like a stone hitting metal - that rattly diesel noise

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
