OMG... beautiful. The CCW classics look great on the black FD... I love the look. I think I made up my mind about my next wheels What sizes/tires are you running? 18x10 +50? 285/30/18 tire?

 

I should have been a little more specific...

ET20 is the most aggressive offset in the 9's, I could fit 10's to the rear (as you rightly point out, they have more offset), but they would not have fit on the front. The recommendations I received from Panspeed with respect to wheels was to maintain the same widths/tyre profiles front to back and that I would not get away with 10's on the front with their arches and skirts.

 

Sick shots man... most DEF mag worthy.
Any more shots of those wheels??

 

Same wheel but 10 inch wide so a little more concave, and matte black.

 

New front tires and stance:

 

Out of curiosity, what color did you register the car as?

 

Skip2mypoo, how many miles do you plan to get out of those tires? I like the lip on your setup, but not the excessive camber needed to run it

 

Past to Present...













Almost done....gotta clean up the wiring, get the gauges working, finish plumbing...tuning, alignment...then gtg.

:]

 

^ thats a mazdaspeed hood right ?

 

so... the hood closes without u having to go with some stupid looking modified hood?

 

Cheers man, not taken by me unfortunately (wish I was that good with my camera). Here are some more pics of the wheels on my car albeit, not as clean as I would like, but then I was driving the car

 

I believe it's a Mazdaspeed STYLE, but based on the quality of the fiberglass, I would say "No", it is not an actual Mazdaspeed. It came with the car when I bought it about ~2 years ago.

Correct. The hood did have to be modified however, because previously, it sloped downwards, and it would hit the valve cover of the 2JZ. See pics below

After:

 

^ ah coool, any idea where to find a ma replica ? im trying to find either a ms or a feed one..

 

nice i can roll with that.. normally i hate engine swaps into FD..and a 1j/2j are only ones i can deal with, so this is definitely cool.

 

I can't wait to pull it out in the spring.

So, My car's finally back on the road, so a friend and I went for a little trundle today and took some photos. Light was rubbish, but fundamentally, so are my skills with a camera.

His car is lovely, I'd forgotten how pretty they are as standard. :smitten:

Mine's the white one, his the black.

 

Wow, your car is so clean! I wouldn't change a thing.

 

 

Looks sweet Adam!

 

Today was a nice day for a cruise!

 

Pretty nice day here today, so went out for a drive and saw our buddy with a 6.6L GTO/Monaro

The Supra is a Limited Edition and with a 1jz-gte
