You should keep the stock wheels and wheel covers, add some sticky fat rubber to them. Rebuild the rear quarters, drop it a little and make it a badass sleeper...

I would but you can't fit wide enough rubber on stock steelies.

UPDATE

Took the 4 lugs to Pep Boys for mounting balancing...







I'VE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE


































































They took real great care of the brand new wheels...











Thick rubber for a muscle look and traction 275 rears





Some lugs



Premade exhaust by CXRacing. Iv'e heard horrible reviews but I'll see for my self.









They came beautiful and well packed so, so far so good.
Very cheap also.


The BC Racing BR Type coils came in, 30 way adjustable, pillow ball top mounts, front adjustable camber plates, each coil is dynoed and then matched up with a damper of similar rates.


















I didn't get the car as low as I wanted because the wheels are so wide, so I rolled the fenders with a wrench because that's the way to do it properly.





happy so far




Still trying to get lower




Then the battery was dead so "rags" came in to jump start the 240



In desperate need of a good fender pull action








approximately that much




found an official fender puller (the jack handle)








making progress, still a ways to go







It's taking longer than I anticipated to get the ride height and the wheel gap figured out hence the slow progress recently. I need more time that's not absolutely freezing outside to work on the car.

The ride height will be fixed
The camber will be fixed
The rear will get patched
The wheels will get paint
The car will get driven




Thanks for looking <3

In case any of you are wondering how a college student was able to buy all these parts all on the same day, there's actually a funny story behind it. Paul (whitechocolate) applied to a credit card with a fairly high limit. The day he got the credit card, he maxed it out buying parts. Instantly. Not long after he ordered the parts we were sitting around at his house and he gets a phone call from a strange number. The conversation went something like this:

Paul: "Hello?"
Usaa: "Hello Mr. Whitechocolate, this is blah blah blah from Usaa. We are calling to inform you there has been some suspicious activity on your credit card. We see you have just activated it today and you are already almost at you limit. We suspect that you are a victim of fraudulent charges."
Paul: "No, those were all me. I know about them."
Usaa: "These purchases were all made by you? It was just activated today."
Paul: "Yeah, it was me. It's all good."
Usaa: "Good luck." *hangs up*

SO MUCH MEAT

[DeltaAlpha9]

Holy meaty fitment. Are you going to dial in some camber in the back to get the wheels under the arches or leave it close to neutral to get the traction and pull the living hell out of the fenders?

I think next week you will have all your answers one of those is my plan

I sincerely enjoyed this thread and will be returning to check the updates often. Everybody always says "I love where this is going" but screw that, I love where it's already gone. Yes there's always more that can, and I'm sure will be done but none the less, what you've accomplished thus far is incredible, regardless of how "common" ls13's are. I am curious as to your plans for brakes and diff. Z32/BNR32/ECR33 4 pots would be a great option aswell as a shimmed R200 VLSD if you're looking for cost effective OEM upgrades. Keep up the good work sir, it's already awesome but I'm excited for even more updates!
