My S13 240 : Ls swap, Corvette trans,ITB's, Widebody, Stupid wide wheels,

[d0wse]

I see where you get your attention to detail your dads car is unreal clean...

Also I have the worst ache for your car. The wheels are unreal, bolt on flares on overs are insane. I love your work.

That's badass!!! Looks awesome in there !!

Took the wheel and tire to work today to get it mounted. I knew the mounting machine wouldn't be abe to do it because of the width (arm was too short) BUT i figured id try my luck at doing it by hand.


It took 4 of us to get that fucking tire on, but we got that son bitch on. So, I'm going to come right out and say that. theres more stretch than i wanted. together with the r888 having zero additional rubber around the seating bead it exaggerates it even more, but the look is growing on me. Still not 100% satisfied. But I'm not paying for new inner barrels and three are no larger tires i want to run. SO is what it is.

After work i came home and had yet again another mock up session. Tire still isn't at the height i want it to be at, still more metal to be cut away for it to reach where i want. But so far it looks fantastic!

We also after mounting my tire took my dads project to get it dynode at a local shop.... good god this car is ridiculous. 900hp and 1100 ft lbs of torque. Enough torque to tow a god damn cruise ship. Fucking insane.

Made some time tonight to bolt the one wheel all together and seal it up so that i can mount the tire in the next day or so. Still need to drill a hole in the inner barrel for the valve stem. But other than waiting for the silicone to dry she's ready for tire mounting. Not quite sure if I'm going to be able to do it or not. Our machines arm isn't tall enough for these wheels but i can still put it in the clamps and try to man handle it by hand on their. Still going to need a cheetah to seat it all the way because of the slight stretch. We shall see what happens

I just realized you've got rocketbunny flares on overfenders haha AWESOME.

Nice new car, your freakin wheel's half is wider than the tires on the BRZ Again, AWESOME

Hahahah i love that gif. Yeah i thought that was pretty funny, the outer lips alone are wider than the brz stock wheels. Had to hold it up next to it for shits and giggles.

[evoDRichie]

LOW KEY I KNOW YOUR WATCHING COREY.



Well this week has been fantastic so far.

MONDAY. Bought a new daily. Pretty good deal i couldn't pass up, love these cars. 2014 with only 5800 miles. Great condition. Silverado will be getting sold.

Plans for the car. Drive.drive. drive. drive.

Short terms goals
-catback exhaust
-shifter bushings
-possible final drive change
-few knick knack things here and there

Realistic by end of the year goals
-Coilovers
-wheels
-rear lcas
-possibly drop in the recaro thats for the 240
-drive it some more

Long term goals

-2jz swap
- custom wheels
-few rare ext. pieces
-drive drive drive

As you can well this car will be very modest. It will be my daily and i plan to keep it that way. Its a great fun car and i dont want to ruin that by going mod crazy. Also, only thing i dont like about the car is the all clear taillights, and the stupid blue footwell lights. They come on while you are driving at night and i **** it. So i def need to fix those things.

ON TO TUESDAY. This day was equally as epic as monday. THE WHEELS ARRIVED. THE WHEELS ARRIVED.
And holy fuck are they amazing. Steeb aka 5one did a awesome job on the machine work and lips. Will def be going back to him in the future.

After all the mockups i realized it was one the shallow faces that i used. So all of the clearances will be about .5" further out. Not huge or drastic, but makes a difference, for inner and outer haha. As i was expecting i will need to widen the rear about another full 1''. Nothing major, original plan was to make the car fit the wheels anyway.

Also got some tow straps in from Speedhunters, along with a new camera strap. I have had the red tow strap for a while as i had planned on using it on the 12 wry, but just never got to it. And on their site the red is no longer available. So ill just use in color up front and other in the rear, no biggie.
