Hi guys!!
My name is Thrasos & i'm from Greece.I'm a proud owner of a black 93' FD for almost 3 years now.I've learned & seen a lot of important things in this club over the years and learned alot from all of you rotorheads!
So i guess it's time for me to share some pictures of my 7 with my brand new 57pro's!!Check out the different coloring according to the angle & the lighting that you watch the car from!!In general they are gold by day & silver/white by night and bright lights!!

Wheel & tire sizes are:18x8 with 225/40/18 front & 18x10 with 285/30/18 in the back. Tires are Pirelli Pzero rosso.


Comment's about my car are most welcome.Don't missunderstand me if i don't reply quickly to some of your questions.I'll do my best though.
Many pics.
ENJOY!!!

 

more..

 

very nice looks very clean. What size rims offset are those?

 

and more..

 

.....

 

.

 

front +37
rear +47

 

very nice.

 

is rear +47 about as big of a lip you can fit in the rear?

 

Thats clean. A real nice look. Congrats.

 

Pimp!!!!

 

Looking good bro.......Any under the hood shots??

 

They look nice. Hope you like understeer.

 

Those look really good. Good choice.

 

 

I'm curious because there were no other modifications listed: is there a way that you can tell it will definitely understeer just from the small amount of information presented here?

Only thing I noticed was the reduced offset in the front and the lower tire ratio (60 down to 40). Maybe some added weight because they are 18's.

I suspected some performance changes and I definitely would have guessed understeer instead of oversteer with this setup- but intuitively, not an objective guess. Anyway, I'd like to know your thought process here because you stated understeer with such resounding confidence that I'm starting to suspect there is something I haven't thought about or can't see from the picture.

Heck. Maybe it's just the tires suck. Any info would be appreciated.

 

Very simple -- 225 tires up front, 285 tires in back. Without running a much stiffer rear suspension (which has it's own problems), that car will push like a pig in tighter corners. This will be very noticeable in street driving.

I run 235/265, which is great at the track, but I would rather have a symmetric fitment (same size all 4) for street and auto-x. My mildly asymmetric fitment pushes in tighter corner so I can only imagine what 225/285s would do.

 

wow...never realized wider tires in the rear can affect performance so much

 

do they rub?

 

very nice and clean for a 93 FD! What year was the FD sold up to in Greece? Did you guys go all up until the Spirit R or did you get shafted like us with the 95???

 

I love those wheels

 

Exactly like you!!

 

No they don't.
From my humble point of view they are simply amazing.And the car performs breathtaking!
Weightwise it's a lot faster because of the reduced weight.Used to have 18's in the past also.
You just let the tail go, point the way you want to go with the fronts and your in paradise!!!!!!!!

 

Nice car.. lets see some engine shots. I hope you keep it as clean as the outside.

 

Poli Omorfo !
