sweet 1st gen

 

 

 

 

yea, i think i'll stick with 16"s...

 

custom body kit , custom hood, custom light scoop and wing. but hoping to get some 17inch rims next year. but for now rolling on 13inch.

 

how hard is it to open the boot with that wing on?

 

no problems

 

man, the front end of that car looks heavvvvy. Maybe bulky is a better word. Mad props for doing it yourself though!

 

That is hot (even tho I don't much care for drag racing). Fast, stock body, huge tires tucked. SICK.

I do have to ask, do you get made fun of for your car at your High School?

Then again, after seeing your pictures on FB, this car fits you well...

 

at least change the wheels to some nice mesh and get a suspension...

 

And burn the fiberglass-coverd, metal conduit and chicken wire- supported, paper mache body kit. Get rid of the wing. Spend your money under the hood.

 

It's his car. I don't understand either, and I think it's horrendous, but whatever floats his boat.

17s look funny in pictures, but in person they're not bad as long as you pick the right wheel.

 

love love love first gen drag cars!!!!!!

 

the only people who said crap was the people who are chevy fans and dont even have a car or G1 but i have not had the car on the road driving it around town yet but this summer and i am remaking the bodykit but i showed the kids that had cars and driving them liked it and my town is a GM town. but i say **** THE HATERS

like i said i wanna get some rims and i need to paint my grill silver i would lower it a inch but then i cant get it in or out of the garage because i only have a 1 inch or i will bottom it out.

 

Play nice

 

Back on topic, here is my FB widebody 17" CCW classics. Personally I think 17" is the biggest I would go on a first gen. Seems to be a good size for looks, performance and decently priced tires.

 

Apparently punctuation is not your friend. Go back and learn proper grammar and punctuation, then try and insult someone.





THIS is the way that a widebody FB should be built. This, along with Trochoid's widebody and the red car below, are damn impressive cars, and the only way IMHO that a kitted first gen should look.



It is his car, but it's my opinion. My opinion has stood since the first time I saw his FB, and it will stand until that body kit is put out of its misery.

And I agree that most 17's look funny in pictures. However, WAS:12A's 17's are hot in pictures.

I try, but this fad needs to die already.

 

2nd gen sub-frame parts are sand blasted, 4-pot brakes and bigger wheels will get there eventually

17" seems to be the consensus around here for looks/perf. I dunno... I've seen some 17s that look too small and some that look too big... Have to see what I can fit under my non-widebody fenders....

 

I'm not a fan of red paint, but your car is clean. The only thing that I would change if it were my car is moving the mesh back to the back of the bumper cutout, fab up a spring loaded plate mount that swings up at speed and back down at low speeds/while stopped, and paint the grille a matte black so as to hide it. GJ.

 

Anybody know if these are 17s or 18s?

 

^Look like 18's

Couple of mine, it's now sitting another 20mm lower since these pics were taken





And some more... some racers but meh, I still love em

 

You guys down under have crazy SA's. I'm jealous.

 

SA front ends just look better than FB front ends

Anyone know who makes this airdamn or whether it will fit an FB?
