94 SSM first rotary project
 

Hey, everyone! It's been a few years since I've posted any sort of build thread for a car. I bought this thing at the end of september 2016. I waited a looong time before pulling the trigger on any sort of project. It's my first rotary and although I haven't done much in the way of motor yet, I started with a mostly stock looking FD in SSM - PEP car. The car is rust free (which is saying something up here in NE). Came with a few little things like the racing beat exhaust, HKS turbo timer, intake, neat shift knob, bigger injectors that I honestly have no clue what they are, and a power FC. I've stayed primarily aesthetic for this past winter and plan on enjoying the car this summer and look into power next season.

This is the day I drove it home. Attachment 603309

It was a very clean car off the bat but the paint could use some help so it was resprayed OEM SSM.

This is how the car sits now.

WElcome. Another SSM, what are your wheel specs? More pics pls

17x8.5+40 and 17x9.5+28. It took me so long to start up a photobucket and add pics there to get them here! Haha I'll be adding to the original post when I get back to my computer.

Looks great! Lets see moar pics!

This is one quick one. I'll try to post the progress pics from the winter/spring. I'm trying to find all of the pics but I think I need to look at my cloud or whatever it is because I switched phones and lost some of the earlier ones.

Went to a show at limerock with my husband's supra and was super impressed at the number of people who really appreciated the ol rotary.

Car is similar to mine. I think you could use wider or more aggressive offsets for the fronts. I also want to get some TE37's but my lady wants a ring.

The next offset was +22. I don't want to roll the fenders and the car is freshly painted. I planned on doing a mild spacer to fill it out but wanted to see how it sat first. The goal with this car is kind of OEM+. I don't want to ruin its perfect fenders and I promised myself after my uselessly low wrx wagon that I owned years ago, I would keep this setup useable and streetable. The lip sits a tad low but I can drive it aggressively without worrying about every bump in the road.

And keep the lady happy. If she's happy, you're happy, right? Haha

Here's a few between the stock beginning photos and the end result.
