hey check this out

for all the guys that want a quick cheap solution for wheels, heres another option

EVO X stock wheels...im using these to roll around on while im refinishing my Volks...they fit great (could use a 5mm spacer in the rear) and they look awesome!!

the tire size is 245/40/18 all around...and i have a sneaking suspicion that the mazda center caps can fit in these wheels but i didnt have any try

also tried them on my boss's FD that has stock fenders and they clear with no rub in the rear but in the front that little tab that holds the fender liner needs to get pushed up and flattened

oh and just in case someone asks...my car is pulled over with the hood up cus yesterday the car was getting hot and i realized that on of my rad fans stopped working =( so i had to let her cool off a bit and wait for traffic to die down so i could cruise home

i still really think this site needs a build thread section.
I kinda agree. I don't mind pics of unfinished cars if it is interesting or aesthetically pleasing but posting grainy pics of unfinished cars seems like a waste. Especially grainy pics. Why bother at all?

A build section thread is a good ******* idea.

Thank you Polak Graphics for the FD3S shocker decal haha!! Only palatable shocker decal I have seen.

^^ Sidewalls seem thicker to me also, plus that bodykit needs a touch more lowering but IIRC the owner has driveway problems and can't go lower.

The colour looks like a lighter shade of Nissan 350Z Brickyard colour.

Depending on lighting it'll look very similar to Nissan's brickyard. it's actually Nissan 350z Interlagos Fire, so it has a color shift.

You're right, it is high because of driveway issues...but I just opened escrow on a house, and the driveway there is a-ok....so once I move in, I can lower the car more
