I knew i would have to cut the rears to fit the wider tires for the widebody. I was looking around for a lower profile street tire, cooker makes a 295/40/15 but the price is over $500 each.

Well It's an Sad day for me to say I have sold the WideBody SA To ( Che'sRX7 ). I had
big plains for it but, my wife needed a Hearing Aid, So I sold it to get it for her. All I can say
is, I loved the rx7. BUT My wife means more to me then a car. I can and will find/build another one.
I know the car is in GREAT hands now, and I just hope he likes the car as much as I have... Thanks.

THREAD CLOSED.

I got the car now Che'srx-7 did a great job in restoring it, only thing I did was new carpet, new Racing Beat complete exhaust system, new seats, new seatbelts, at also made the Rotors Magazine 2016 with my RX3SP. Car sounds nice and just need some of the wiring fix. Next fix will be the brakes that are hard.

WA Wow!

Juan,

The Dave Kent IMSA GTU Mark I kit looks incredible great job with all of your finish work done.

Question: Does the front bumper ever rub or scrape? Was wondering looking at the ride height and clearances...

Again, looks fantastic brother!
