I can't wait to see this at SoWo

No adapters?

I'll be able to use Wobble Nuts since the PCD variation is so slight, I almost can't tell that they aren't 5x108 it's so close. And the centerbore is the same.

Will be a little while until they're mounted on the car. Still have to order wobble nuts and then get my tires swapped over.

I'm really surprised at how much I like this car lol. But thanks to that teaser I need mounted pics MEOW

I love this car! I like the wheels in you sig better but that's just me

Thanks man! The wheels on the car are nice and simple, and for the price I got them for ($100) I can't complain one bit! But I'm excited to get the BBS RK on and try something new.

how come i dont find anything good like this when i go to the junkyard? i always liked that style ipd brace the ones the offer now are to generic. keep up the great work.

This was my first time finding any aftermarket parts... In due time you'll find something sweet!

Just today went to the junkyard and found an IPD Strut brace, also found a poly upper engine mount that will go in, little cheap upgrades are always nice.

Dropped off my new wheels with my friend who's gonna work his usual magic and make them look flawless. Can't wait to see how they come out!



Rear will sit at least 5mm wider than seen here


Front will sit 15mm wider than this (at the same spec as my current fronts)


Will likely need wider rear spacers to get these from ET15 out to ET5 where my current rear setup sits front will sit at ET20 which is exactly where my current fronts sit. Tires will be swapped over so tire size will be the same as my current. I really need those 10mm in the rear, but I have some 8 and 12mm spacers I can stack in the back for SoWo. (just for in town, not for the drive there) if I don't buy wider rear adapters.

Warmed up so I got a quick car wash and took a picture of it.

my winter bumper (which is on the car now) will come off this week since it's warming up, and then i'll start to refinish the R bumper to have it on the car by SoWo (I hope)

Made some rear perches for the shorter 8" coil springs for the back. Gonna throw another coat of paint on them tomorrow and then maybe install them. Decided to paint them a bright color for fun even though they won't be seen since they're up under the car.



Used a Harbor Freight welder so they ain't pretty but they'll be plenty strong to hold the spring in place at the top. The black pieces are foam rings I found at a local supply store, 12 for $.50, same foam as is used with Home Depot lips. Should help quiet the springs a bit.
