widebody from scratch
 

Well i spent some of last weekend and today working in the kit. Not sure how i feel about 2 things.

1.... the look? Wasted 70 dollars and 11 hours to realize that, still worth it i guess. Gonna shoot them white on monday. May look alot better than the 2 pink hemmeroids hangin off the sides.

2...... The fucking spacers. 50mm is huge. They are ebay too. It is not a track car, but i do get a little rough on the street sometimes.

rims are 16x8 -1 front
16x9+32 ish rear

Post comments. Use this as a chance to get your post count up. I want feedback on safety more than anything followed by opinions on the kit. If you hate it, explain why. If you like it do the same.

ahhhh i dont know bro keep on working on it see how it comes out , i see what you are trying to do but it needs a bit more

over all keep up the good work ,

a few more...............

john ny

yeah going for the rmagic bootleg.


john ny

needs a bit more what?

john ny

fitting, and smooth out the edges it looks very boxy IMO but you are doing your thing bro

You should just do the whole panal, and dont use bondo brand filler if thats what your using. Rage gold is the shit. But i understand your probably just trying it out.

you should post up here http://fiberglassforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=12
alot more guys to give you tips etc

keep on pimpin!

hey what front fenders do you have? mine are raceon lol

woah the miata has a engine bay cover?? got any pics? lol

I would get banned if I posted what I want to say so I will just post this picture.

yah so? im asian and that bowl looks pretty good
making me hungry

hey shitty tits with the rice bowl, "if you hate it explain why". Or pm it to me if you are worried about the ban. Boxyness is an issue. Front fenders were the shitfit 170.00 ebay joints. What about some feedback regarding safety with 50mm spacers? I might just bite the bullet cut my losses and get the raceonusa 50mm ones or maybe the 30s and stick out a 3/4 of an inch.

john (who prob wasted the day) ny

If you need big ass spacers just to have a widebody you're doing it wrong. What do you have like 140hp?

One of my problems is that advan only makes the oni wheel in 16x9 with a 32 or so offset. Kinda sucks for me. Front all widedout but rear looked calista flockhartfull. So i figured spacers would even things out proportionately.

140hp..... nope.

john ny

Then buy some wider wheels.

in the words of Rodney king.. "Can't we all just get along?"

Advan doesnt make............Bah..............Are the spacers safe?

john ny

Yes they are safe but what is the point of a widebody with narrow ass wheels? You don't want to be like dkwasherexd do you?

since when are 9inch wide wheels narrow? Your shit must be tubbed then. lol

john ny

You can squeeze 10.5's in the rear if you do your math.

spacers can be used to tune the cars handling, and also sometimes if the person rocks high disk calipers

Yes spacers increase track with and handling but do you really someone with stretched tires really cares about performance?

Ahhh yes, the stretched tires. Finally a good point turbo2rotor. Stretched tires came with the rims (in my diggitydefense ). I wouldnt have swapped in the luce engine if i didnt care about overall performance. This car IS a work in progress. I plan on upgrading suspension at some point too. I have reached my budget for total money in car at 4 grand. Real widebody and suspension will put me at about 5 grand total. Some cheap shortcuts worked with the car so far, this one might not. I will post paint pics monday. My miata is a finished product. Not the engine cover though, i forgot to NOT post that picture hypertek. I will send you what i have so far though. pm me your email.

john ny

regarding the stretch tires... to each his own. We all got different tastes/driving preferences.

dawicka, i dont need the pics nemore. its cool. Have you seen this thread? http://fiberglassforums.com/showthread.php?t=920
I know the car isnt that cool *its a cavalier lol* but I can appreciate the time and work he did to it, a good job on making the widebody.

Thanks hypertek. Great tips found in that thread. I read that whole thing last night. Badass.

john ny

ur dumb, you know alot of D1 drifters use spacers?Some use spacers bigger than me, some use 50mm and have almost 500 hp, why do they use spacers? cuz its hard to get fitment right on the money especialy if you change your tire setup on the same rim and their wheel sponsors wont always give them the perfect fitment. PPL arent ballin, they cant just buy every size rim. To you everybody is ricer, so I say your dumb dumb
