My Hellastock EK/EJ6 98 Hatch from idaho

Lol it doesn't look that crazy lol. At least you have the juevos to drive as low as you are straight snow. Props bro.

we had a good 5-6 inches then whatever got blown around. haha yeah its been tough

yeah that winter storm thing fucking sucked here in ontario. buffalo got pretty fucked up, too.

we were on the very edge of it we didnt get it horrible but we dont usually get snow here till december. its been more than a week and we still have snow and ice in even the areas that see traffic most haha.


glad i dont drive my car during this, i did one winter and never ever ever again

yeah im gonna try and buy some cheap 4x4 pickup for work so i can give this car alittle break. dont need anything fancy. ha

love your car always loved the hatches I cut 2inches out of a set of knuckles for my buddy once but he was aired. as long as you your a good welder I say go for it. the trick for welding cast is to heat it up before you weld it make it glow then lay your bead then cool it down slowly worked great for his car drove it across country twice never had any issues

we got a good minitruck guy out here in the area. he does and has built alot of fab stuff and its all held up. might possibly have em do my rear tubs so i can fit anything i want in the future as well. i was told 2 inches on the knuckles cut and reweld would give me what i want. plus lowering forks as well then i can raise my suspension and still have that sexy drop with all the nice shock travel. it sucks driving bottomed out like i am now. Im taking off the racing harts and rocking steelies for rest of winter cause i want to start saving and ordering up everything.

Work makes em I found 3" lips on wheel flip but that's the smallest I've seen.

[blakeb]

anyone think it be possible to Flip faces? like use my inner barrel as an outter? i thought bout doing that and polishing em real nice.

[blakeb]

Did a test fit the other day I think it went good lol

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

17x7 -75? not good at doing the math with back spacing and stuff. Buddy of mine showed me a thread where a guy flipped a faces on vsxx wheels. Racing harts have same lips so we decided to give it a try. This is the only place I have posted pics with inside of barrel. Flipped inner and outer barrel. So now I have a 1" inner and 6" outer lol. Idk how safe it is or if it's possible but I see guys do tapped steelies all the time with kind of same concept. Opinions?? I'm sure I'll be called a loser for running a 7j but what's the point of going bigger on a 17 and run a bigger tire and not even be that low?

I have poke like 11s! This is still going to be driven daily. I'm gonna run the 165/40/17s I already have on em. I'm as low as guys on 15s with 195/45 stretch lol. You got pics?

[Imaeechew]

I see this car around town a lot. I love how low you are, one of the lowest I have seen in the area. Good luck with the build.
