Noxlupus: Thanks for posting more pics, really looks good!

 

RE-Amemiya: Anytime I'll post more as I get them.

LAN: What do you mean better offsets? I'm running 245x45x17 on 17x8.5 +48 offset. Car has been lowered as well, by around 3''. I'm always looking for new ideas / constructive criticisms.

 

Feed sideskirts.

 

I think he means that you need to get your wheel more out.

Nice ride!

Joa

 

Thanks Joa!!

Oh, I see. I have my reservations about getting wider in the rear... I'm more into AutoX and mountain driving (if you know what I mean) and I'm not sure how it would change the characteristics of the car. Don't get me wrong I like how some of them look, but not sure if it's for me. What are the benefits of having a wider rear / getting the wheels out more? Other then looks...

 

^^ There's no benefits. It actually has negative affects on the car when you decrease the offset. It might look "better" but will be harder on wheel bearings and won't handle as good as the proper offset would.

Hey, but it'll look cool....


It looks good how it is man. The only way to properly make the wheels stick out more is to add more wheel while using the proper offset.

Lan is wrong!!! You have the best off set you can get since you don't see any aftermarket rims in +50.

 

Heres a few pics of the silver base I piced up from fritz flynn

Nice car Phil! Now give me thy moon roof!

Yea, that was my main concern with the wheels that I got. I knew that having an offset that didn't match the stock would cause unneeded / unwanted stress on the wheel bearings, etc. Not something I wanted to deal with especially when taking a hard turn... I thought about going with a wider tire but I'm not much of a fan of the staggered size. I honestly don't see any real use / benefit for it.

LOL!

 

instead of moonroofs i think phil should start handing out cars... look at that list in his sig (dibs on a fd )

 

LOL! And that doesn't include 2 other cars I own...

 

Here are a few more pictures of Zeta curtacy of KillBoy:

 

Now those are some sexy pics!

 

Sweet license plate


and the car's a beauty BTW

 

I bet those shots of Stephen blazing thru the Dragon is when your GPS about went flying out the window!

Now that would've been a shot for Killboy...your FD with the GPS in midair coming out the passenger side window

 

I'm not a fan of the evo-R sleeks. But they go rather well with your car.

The front panels/pop-ups have not been flushed yet and the painted lip (painted due to miscommunication) is getting replaced with a mazdaspeed lip w/ feed sides to match.

Car is raised because it is still being built.

 

LOL! I've heard he drove my car pretty hard... and with one hand.. LOL!



I guess it was after this pic.. as I still see the GPS.

 

Since I was the organizer, My car was at the front... hehe..

There were ton of FDs.

 

That's probably when he was on the 2-way with you saying "Dude, I was driving your car hard as hell and your GPS just about went out the window."
