**** I just wish I had 10.5's for the rear instead of my 9.5's spaced out.

Nah foresight stuff is gone. Other then the fenders, hood and roof spoiler.

I'm gonna rock this R-Magic stuff for a bit.. My cars gonna have a super old school tuning influence look to it for a while.

Three reasons:

-I can easily handle 315's in the rear power wise so if I pull the trigger to go wide I'd like to rock them all around so I can rotate tires.

-It's about the most I can fit on a 10.5" wheel (wider than which prices get nutty fast).

-I've found that running square results in better cornering bias. Staggered wheels make me plow unless I'm upping the rear swaybar (and upping a swaybar just means effectively reducing grip at the end in question). I figured rather than reduce the rear grip, why not just increase the grip up front?



Note: I'm aware some folks are firm believers in staggered tires, tons of front bar, and no rear bar. My personal experience has led me to disagree quite strongly.

Looking good Eric! I thought that you got the 10.5s man. What happened? How big of a spacer are you using on the rear? I am still undecided if i want to put 285/30 or 295/30 on mine...Do you think its going to clear with the 35mm rears?

I think the most you'll fit is a 265/35/18. I've got a 235/40/18 on the back. 20mm spacer..a 9.5 -2

I was never going to pay that ******* at Jspec what he wanted for those rims. I see the prices of them on yahoo auctions, I'll wait till a set comes up!

I guess i need to get my lazy *** and test fit them to see what kind of clearances i will have :-) Been busy with other stuff on the car. Your 9.5 -2 extends 7mm more than my 10.5s. Maybe i will use the 265/35/18 but i do not really like that size on the 10.5s.

So far, I think this is the best combo. I think I may copy this setup just in red with different wheels.




And I think that this should be posted again, mainly because I think its AWESOME!!!

the passenger headlight is raplaceable so there wont be a duct.
I love how it actually looks like a really cool R/C car. And it most likely will be hard to create. thats why they make filler. lol

Yeah...well the hard top i definately do not like.

But if you put your right hand thumb over the side window and top while squinting your left eye and using the visable part of your nose just enough to blur the front of the car.. it does not look that bad.

^^^ Seriously trust me and do that.

With the top and window down, those weird openings behind the rear tires filled and a different front end....... It might kinda be bad ***.

The duct is fine just not a fan of those non pop up lights. The rest of the car is nice & I like the hood.

I was never a big fan of the non-pop-ups either. Those are the only ones I would do.
