Nice car not thrill'd about the wing though

 

damn... it is so nice .. i like the red caliper and blue body, nice combo

 

Holy cow, the brake rotors look like Civic sized now.

 

^ Yeah you need some bigger brake rotors now!

 

That combination actually works very well even though I hate the wing mostly because i've seen it on a ford focus and a honda accord among other stock cars that should not be allowed to mount a wing. Probps for making different brands flow well together and the blue is nice.

 

what are the wheel widths and offsets?

what size tires are you running??

That's a nice lip on the back.

 

You need to ditch the wing.

 

Very, very pretty, that color is beautiful, the wheels look great too.

 

Looks good! 19's front and back?....any likelihood of rubbing?

 

Personally I wouldn't put either the wheels or the wing on my car, I couldn't justify the looks vs. performance losses.

But I must say, your car comes together nicely, the wing reminds me of Subaru rallycars, and the wheels are tasteful despite their enormity.

-s-

 

cool the seven actually looks good on 19". But is there any scraping between the fender and the tire.

 

Nice color.

wing.

 

love the car.... LOSE THE WING!!!!! i had one of those wings too on a yellow fd..... it functions great thought to block headlights! doesnt it?

 

Looks like you have learned about 19's and the fender being ripped out. Be carefull about this. It WILL tear the hell out of those very expensive tires quickly. I know from experience. 19's IMO are all show and not much go. The car looks good but for "spirited" driving they will cause problems.


Unless you have the fenders rolled ...properly, Not like that other thread with a pair of pliers!

 

I agree. I would loose the wing but it still looks sick!!!

 

what series of tires of do u run? i have 18's and ran 45's and they rubbed like a *****. had to get 35's, which in Japan is a bit expensive.

oh yeah, lose the wing. looks all ricerish

 

i think it looks great, even with the wing.

 

Dam!!, i have gotten dirt about the wing before but never like this. i have contemplated about changing the wing when i changed the front spoiler but never got around to it. i have been trying to see what wing would look good. im open for any ideas someone might have. as for the rims, they are 19x10 rear and 19x9 front. the front rubbed a little on the front so we had to reform the metal right behind the windshield wiper tank and the radiator catch tank and as for the back, we had a machine shop take 5mm of the inside so the tire sits just enough inside that it dips right under the fender. I did roll the fenders all the way before i painted the car so that was not an issue. My next step will be to put the tein Flex coil overs just so i can get the same ride height all around. i dont know why the left side sits lower that the right.

As for the brakes, i know they look real small now, BUT they stop real good TOO so before i go and spend 1800.00 on a front brake kit. id rather spend it on performance. this weekend im pulling off my intake manifold and sending it to Extrude Hone. Open that Bitch up!!!

You're kidding, right? You just get done saying you'd rather spend money on performance and the next thing out of your mouth is Extrude Hone?!?

Seriously, the LAST thing you should be spending money on is sending your intake manifold to Extrude Hone. You can run well over 25 psi through the stock intake manifold without touching it at all, and the gains with stock twins or a small single turbo after porting will be insignificant at lower power/boost levels. Porting your throttle body or opening up the intake are things you do AFTER you've exhausted ALL other options for making power. Wait until you're making 700+ RWHP before you start worrying about restriction in the intake.

 

Hey rob i always see you around town....last week i rode by you on the 826 going southbound. And the week before that, i saw youre car parked in the parking lot at Baley's total fitness. Oh and by any chance, did you always have that front bumper? cuz ive seen a car that looks just like yours with the veilside front and Enkei rims.

 

I like the feed bumper with the adjustable center section.

 

I think it might look good without a wing or maybe the FEED wing with the adjustable center section.

 

I agree with you jimlab, the cost of EXTRUDE HONING your intake is not worth the gains without having MAJOR mods already done to your car

 

Feed bumper w/ adj. center? I am pretty sure they don't make one. Are you referring to the Panspeed one?


I have to agree with the others on the opinions of this car. It looks pretty nice minus the wing, but you should worry about other things before getting it extrude honed.
