the emergence of a vr4

[PJ Prendergast]

you're welcome! and your paint looks nasty good in those freshly painted pictures.

haha, i do believe that i'm him.

and i'm not being hateful, but don't want your car to be like mine. the cars are already close enough to the same.what fun would it be if we had identical red vr4's.

i'm wanting to make it up to 10.5 all the way around next time i pick wheels. with at least 295's all the way around as well.

how close were those front wheels to fitting?

nahhh don't worry i'll keep it original i'm talking about when i was 15 and peeking around 3si haha we didn't get to try the fronts bc they didn't clear the calipers, but then i go to ollie's trunk and he had spacers we could have tried ughhh haha oh well, next time! i'm hoping to get some megan's soon and try on various sets of ollie's wheels over this winter and see what happens. we might do some bartering and i'll paint his m3 with him and my dad for some fresh wheels haha and the 10.5's +12 would have tucked beautifully in the back with some camber and slammage, we just gotta figure out the front with our stupid massive calipers haha

[PJ Prendergast]

Great job! Perhaps wheels and a drop?

thanks! coming soon my friend

and she really doesn't need to be slammed. it's a vr4. she was sort of made for cornering.

maybe you should take her out for some corners before you slam her, so you know what you should be able to do around a corner.

again, check for some second gen vr4 calipers to help you avoid spacers, and clear more wheels.

and i dunno, maybe i'm crazy. but i don't think you should stretch tires to get the look you want. put the right sized wheels on the tires that you have, or just wait till you can do it right.

garettec time!

oh i can corner :p



^that was my first track day ever, and considering i'm 18 passing dude's in a "low" horsepower iroc.. lol i love road courses. my E30 is getting a half ass track treatment this winter: turbo, lowering/stiffer springs, seats, some cheap track wheels and tires, and possibly a bolt in cage. it'll get stripped and done right when i'm not a broke kid haha

trust me i love going fast in this thing, but after so much work and personal value i don't wanna risk wrecking it at a track. i'll save that for either my e30 or my next 3/s. my dream is a track build vr4, maybe even rwd for drifting. but that's for when i'm not a broke college freshman, or college anything... lol

also taking note on the 2nd gen calipers!

and nah they probably wouldn't stretch well anyways haha i'm going for the 18's

i'm getting ollie's old rial's and some new tires in exchange for my dad and i painting his whip

[groundupjetta]

Nice work done to the car. My friend has one with the stock turbos and its a beast, I can only imagine with the bigger turbos yuuummm

Your friends wheels looked pretty good, nice combination of colors too. Those wheels with a grand slam would be sweet

super sweet! how wide are they? 18xwhat?

that's sick nasty. i want to take my vr4 on a track like that. what did it cost to drive your car on that track?

i'd do it in the vr4. just don't put her too low, or have stretched tires on at the time, and you should be fine.

Ha Schmoo you're on here too? I was just reading a thread on Nico you kept posting in

me toooo. are you from 3si, or mostly from nico?

i am here, and maybe you hadn't noticed, but there is no c in my name. none of my names that i can think of.

i was trying to get them to let me post in their 240 game thread. i'm going to post if i have qualifying picture.

haha i'm broke as a joke now man haha they're Rial type A's 17x8.5 +13 and 17x9.5 +20 out back. i think we're gonna run 235/40's or something with even more meat. i wanna have just a little stretch, but i still have my "stock" (replica SL's 17x8.5) so i could snag the tires off those wheels if i ever need some more meat on em. ummmm i honestly don't know how much the track day costed, since it was my high school graduation present haha my dream track car is a vr4, so someday i'll have one running out there <3 but in the meantime i plan on tracking my 325. for that day i used my dad's track prep'd 87 iroc (bolt in cage, LT1, hooker headers, and all the other fun track stuff), and it was honestly the most fun i've had driving. but now i was spoiled and will wanna run in all the other bmw performance schools that cost a lot haha
