The same as the wheels on the yellow fd on the previous page.

 

^^yeah those are different. mine are the Work Meister SR2, totally different wheel design. what size and offsets are u getting (maybe i shouldnt be so lazy and check the previous page for that too?)

 

Fronts: 18 x 9 +43 'O disk'

Rears: 18 x 10.5 +37 'O disk'

The yellow car's fitment is a little different.

 

I don't want to burst your bubble but the rear offset is not going to work... with a 10.5in rear wheel you need a +50 offset unless you are adding fender flares?

 

I had similar concerns with the aggressive fitment but Billy(Tires23) has used this fitment on another fd. The fenders wll be rolled and hopefully that will suffice. If not I'll cry.

 

No it will work, so dont fret. It is my FD that has the Work Meisters with that off set and size.....just have to roll the fenders as mentioned

 

I will have to take your word for it....I just don't want to be the one that says "I told you so".

 

UPDATE:

The car is a lot quieter now since I sold the HKS Hi Power and changed to Racing Beat. The family is very happy with the change.

Marco "The Wird" finished the tuning as much as he could last week. No dyno sheet to share yet but I promise I'll get one soon, as curiosity is killing this cat too.

During the first session of tuning Marco noticed that the car may have been suffering from a voltage drop at the pump. So a fuel pump rewire was done and the walbro was removed and Denso installed.(Thanks, Darryl) Everything has been rock solid consistent since then.

Once boost was turned up the car started spewing oil. A home depot catch can remedied that issue.

It will probably require some more tuning since I am having a little issue controlling boost. No spikes but rather the opposite. Boost peaks at 16psi(where we want it) but bleeds off about 25% towards top end. Need to play with the wastegate a little but that can wait since the car is already scary quick.

Plus I hope to add water injection later this year too.(not going to tune for it just hoping to keep combustion chamber temps down)

Great Job Marco!!!

Car is now at Classic Auto for Joe to finish his magic. Deleting the spoiler, rear wiper and washer nozzle, power antenna and most emblems. I can't wait to see it all painted.


Hopefully the Meisters arrive and the paint finishes simultaneously. So hopefully the next pics will be the finished product.

 

The tune isn't finished until you have a flat boost curve :P. I'm really curious to how the car will look with the new paint on it.

did you paint the part of your wheel hub that shows where the cap is suppose to be? if so would you mind sharing the color?

 

It was just what I had laying around the garage at the time. It is not a perfect match but better than not painting them at all.

Tremclad Rust Paint - colour = Aluminum

 

Joe sent me this teaser pic.

Hopefully I'll see and share finished pics on the weekend. Billy from Tires23 said the Meisters should be in this week too.

 

^ I want more!

beautiful colour
excellent choice

 

I'm itching to see the finished product like the rest of 'em.... I also like the slight visual hint that the rear quarters are rolled. Great colour!

 

Was the engine bay fixed?? LOL

 

Hence the itch....

 

Here are some pics with the Meisters mounted. Absolutely no rubbing at all. I will clean the car and go for a proper photo shoot in the dry some time very soon. I am thrilled with the look, just kind of hard to believe it is actually mine.

 

Car looks fantastic!

 

Looks good.... Told you it wouldnt rub!! What tires did you put on? When i bought my Meisters there was only one tire that would fit....Hankook. Just wondering if the selection changed

 

OMG Escalade rims. Kidding lol, they look amazing.

thewird

 

I used the same tires I had on my RPF1s. Dunlop Direzzas 255 front 275 rear.

Billy thinks I can go alot wider in the back without rubbing so when these tires wear out I'll probably go wider.

 

Yes, go wider if it works. It looks like the 275 is to small on those wheels. BTW your car looks great!

 

Yeah baby, looks wicked!!!!

I agree too it looks like you have some extra width in there for some more tire wonder how that happened..........

She's a beaut!

 

Oh god I want that car. Or at least one just like it. Beautiful.
