Dosent look bad, what size fenders are you planing of puting on it i think some 25mm on the fron and 35mm in the back with some nice GT-R off SPEC rims would finish the look.

looks good. Keep up with updates!

This kit adds 25mm up front and 50mm rear. I have it on my FD too.

Exactly.Adds 25mm front ang 50mm rear.
have u any photos of your installation?what size wheels do u have?

I have some pics but I don't have wheels yet. The whole car's been a project and I just haven't got to them yet. It actually has to go back to the body shop to get a few things corrected that I'm not happy about. Plus, the point where the front fenders join the bumper isn't right, it rubs the headlight cover and sits lower than the cover. So I have get the gap shaved to look right and somehow get them to sit flush with the headlight cover. For the wheels though it's looking like about 12" rear and 9.5 or 10" up front.

vitafist,

The kit looks good from the pics. If they didn't do so already, you're going to want to cut the inside of the rear fenders if you're going to run tires that are going to fill up those fenders. If the inside of the rear fenders aren't cut, when the suspension compresses over bumps, because of the shape of the stock inner fender, the tire will scrape on the inside of the stock fender.

Hopefully you're body shop took care of this, but otherwise, it looks like they molded the rear fenders in quite nicely.

indeed very clean

I like the look of that kit

I have already take care of the stock rear fenders.I know the problem as i was running those massive wheels for more than a year without wide fenders and and with no cutting ofcourse.in the photos the car is sitting very low on ground and as u can see u cannot put a finger thought fenders. I am going to play with the camber anyway cause i want to put it in the floor.No good for the Greek streets but...that;s the way i like it.I am trying to find 19" wide wheels to put them on but i have to sell those 18" first.Pity cause i have done no more than 1500 km with those and are genuie Weds Cerberus II, cost me more than 4500$.

What wheels are u going to put on your set up "MYREDFD"????

nice. Where'd you buy the kit at and how much was it?

I'm looking at putting 18's on, 9.5 or 10 inch wide up front and 11 or 12 inch wide rear. Not sure yet about from where, I was looking at 360 Forged but haven't decided yet. I don't know where the kit was bought from as this was my brother's car before he passed away while it was at the body shop. You can get the kit through Versus Motorsports or Vivid Racing and they list over 3000.00 total for all the parts. I took the project over and need to replace several interior parts that somehow disappeared. I also need to look over a few things, it has a hot start problem and also will cut out when warm when I get off the gas to stop. I'm hoping it doesn't need a rebuild but it's looking like it will.

Liking the chargespeed kit. Very clean project.

do not go to 10 in front.your feeling in the streering is going change a lot. try some 9 or 9.5 with some negative offset and it will be ok.i have 9 and the feeling is excelent.Hope not to rebuild your engine...yet

diffulctly
 

how hard is it mold a wide body kit

I was more likely going to stay at 9.5 or lower for the front, I just didn't want to go too negative on the offset. I'm hoping it's something relatively simple for my other problems too.

It depends on what all you want to mold in, if it's just the rear quarters it's not too tough really. But if you want to mold in the skirts and rear bumper it'll take a bit of work.

Having to big of a wheel width up front will takes it toll on the power steering fluid. Nice car btw I love big lips :icon_tup:

Pics are two weeks ago. Now the car is the bodyshop for some final touches. The photos are not so good. The color is awesome in the sun.

I hope these cars are still around. Anyone still able to bring this thread alive again?

I’m about to start a Chargespeed build as well, but gonna mix in some other parts that I think look cool together.

Still alive!! Better not to mix parts as this will ruin the project..
