"US- parking lights"


I like this

keep the good work! and good luck with the wheel problems...

So whats up with that set of Style 5s?

Did you ditch the tires? Id get Falken Ziex those stretch nicely!

Stlye 5's for winter, so they're wrapped in some meaty tires for sure^^

Tourings are so ugly, who'd drive those anyways.

Just idiots do

nice touring so far .... but need some work though...

AP / DTS could get more low

Will be lower next season.
Other work that needs to be done:
- install tan leather interior
- mount new wheels next season
- US- parking lights

I guess they lessen the stress on the rear strut mountings. But that's only a guess.

Here's a pic:

Hey man, I have a question: what's the exact function of those reinforcement plates for the rear shocks?
And what do they look like? I can't seem to figure out what it does exactly...

- cleaned some sensors and the throttle body, replaced a hose

Update:



Here is what the painter and I did yesterday. 10 hours of work, lots of "Fuck you"'s and a few screws leftover later i finally have a full-coloured car again:




Though I can't open my hood anymore

What i need in fact are tires which have good stretch, rolled fenders, maybe some negative camber in the rear and a good idea what to do with my fucked up left front.

[Zic]

the fender is 100% stock.
when i was running the rear, it was 205/40 on a 9 et22. were the fender was rolled, with out removing the sealant. now its a 10" with 215/40.
you can check my build thread v2 and see when i was running the 9inch wheel.

[K.rischan]

hope you dont mind me posting this.
but this is my car just when i lowered it. its a 195/40 on a 17x8 the spring has not settled yet.


*edit ET is 20.

Since my wheels for the front are 8x17 ET20 as well i wonder what you did to your fender to make them fit.
And what's your rear tire size? 205/40?

I guess that's what i'm going to do. Maybe i can find someone who trades his tires for mine. Let's see.

[Zic]

Sell those tires, that would be the easiest option.
Go with some narrow 205/40's and you can adjust the camber on the back to get them to clear.
