finally bbs rs sex! lol

[Joshmsartin]

Anyways... Here is the new wheels. BBS Rs 033 15x6.5. Plans are to Get all new bolts and nuts. The faces sandblasted and professionally sprayed or powdercoated. Polish the hex caps. and get new center caps. 2.5" lips up front. 3" lips in the rear.

That will come out to 15x8.5 up front and 9" in the rear. with a meaner offset then those varrstoens







I started pulling them apart the next day i got them



120 bolts with rusty nuts -_-



All the bolts removed and the rims still wouldn't come apart. SO .... what to do?...

Stick them in the oven for 5 minutes on 350



came apart with a couple of tabs from a rubber mallet



Barrels. So small and dirty



Had alot of help from my cat... lazy fucker



Degreased and cleaned all of the barrels. Scrapped all of the old sealant off as well. These cleaned up pretty nice.







Sorry i got a little fisheye happy haha. I just got this lens and i have been messing with it alot. lol

I ran into that issue with my Del Sol. I never looked into what was causing it. ALways assumed it might was the aftermarket hood. I just picked up some innovative mounts locally and didn't have any problems. I still have those Hasports come to think about it. Might have to put them up for sale since I'm going to run into that issue again if I use them.

ya and if you trim too much of the hood it becomes flimsy... as if these cars arent already flimsy enough

Ii have the first gen. hasport motor mounts so i have plenty of oil pan clearance (2" maybe a little less ) but my valve cover will bend my hood if i dont run the spacers.

You should switch to the eibach 1000in/LB springs and Koni Yellows

Thats the plan. havent figured out the exact spring rates yet but koni yellows and gc top hats are in the plan for sure.

My rear tires actually rub my fender wells when i hit a decent size bump. The new tires is going to be a serious stretch and alot more camber so hopefully that will fix my problem

Someone stole your light? or crazy bumps haha

haha crazy bumps. a couple of times i smacked my gas tank. dont get me wrong the car rides well for the ride height, but some bumps are intense

I have no idea how it happened. Im probably going to get some eg6 corners anyways. Those were vision clear corners.

It was a 4 hour trip and i expected to fuck my bumper or something up. So at 2 a.m. when i arrived at the hotel i checked the car out. it seemed to be just fine!..... early celebration. lol randomly one of my corner lights was missin? luckily my brother has an extra oem set in his car.

[Joshmsartin]

Ah, gotcha. Most people just prop their hoods because "it looks cool".

Looking forward to the pics of the new wheels.

Thanks man me too! i just ordered the tires. the stretch should be intense

[Joshmsartin]

Thought after 2 pages that I would have seen some BBS's though.

Makes me miss my EG hatch. I keep getting coupes. LOL

This is the first hatch. I usually end up with coupes too haha. and ill post some pix of the bbs and interior tonight boss.
