new SVX owner, couple of questions...

[Nevin]

Hi there, my name's Nevin. Howdy everyone. *waves*

Sorry, I don't have any pictures of my car yet, but yesterday afternoon I bought a black '95 LSi. It has 106k, the tranny shifts great, put it up on the hoist and there's no rust on it anywhere!

Anyways, just wondering if there are any common problems that these cars have? I've heard that the trannies, wheel bearings, and brakes are the most problematic areas. I work at a tire shop and we service cars all the time too, so I figured I'd hook it up to the tranny flusher and put in some Amsoil synthetic ATF and throw an aftermarket tranny cooler in to help it out. BUt yeah, are these things reliable? Anything I should be on the lookout for? Is it true that the bottom end is forged from the factory?? I'm not looking to do much to the car as I want a reliable daily driver, but I think it will be just fine with some tint, lowering springs, and maybe I'llfab up an intake for it...

Also, I was wondering what the wheel pattern is. Is it 5 x 4.5"? I thought I saw a picture of a member's car that had some RX-7 wheels on it. I have an extra pair of these rims laying around, and I would LOVE to paint them gunmetal, throw some new tires on, and go roll! Also, would 245 series tires be too wide to fit in the wheel well?

ANywyas, sorry for all the noob questions, but any answers are welcome!

I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow night!
