nice. is that your dd?

 

Daily drove it for about 2 years with no problems... Except for blowing the original motor, blowing 8-9 axles(seriously) blowing up 2 front bumpers, going through 8 fenders(again, seriously), 2,005,469 exhaust leaks, 3 headlight switches(still none work), 2,000,000 tires, 3 sets of coilovers, 2 tail lights, 2 radiators, 2 6-puck clutches, 5 sideskirts, 2 headlight motors, 2 oil coolers, 3 thermostats, 3 water temp gauges(don't know how i break them), that's all I can remember at the moment.

Finally bought a daily driver 8 days ago

 

That looks like the beginnings of a rally cage. Where do you strap your harnesses?

 

To people running wide front fenders. What is your wheel setup and how wide fenders are you running?

I bought some from a dude and he said they're somewhere around 25-30mm wide, and my 9.5 -7's dont fit, at about -10ish degrees of camber. They actually fit worse than my stock fenders with a pull on them.

A. He bullshit me
B. My front wheels are dumb


reference

 

I bought supposedly 25mm wide fenders that ended up being stock width with a vent. I think it's a common problem with crappy knockoff body work. I just cut and extended mine 2 1/4 inches and then fiberglassed them back up.

this is after I modified them

 

All the vented 25 mm's fit like ****, I did a a lot work to mine and still went with shine's

 

my b magic 30mm fenders were about the same as my stock(pulled) fenders. seems to happen to everyone I know that has had an fc. front fenders arent wide.

 

Your wheels should fit. I'm running a 9.5 -16 with 7ish degrees of camber on a 30mm foresight front fender and it fits (sorry for the shitty pic)

 

He had extended ball joints though. My ball joints(same specs as his) made my battles seem like 9.5 -10

 

Aaaahhhh, i see.

Your wheels are dumb










Sell them to me

 

ill trade for 17's

i cant go low enough on 18s without rubbing everything

 

I need advice on front wheel sizing before I order them. I have an option of R17 8j et35 vs. 9j et20. I will be running stock rolled fenders, modified knuckles, extended lca and lot's of low. I will use 215/40 tyre on the front in both widths. My concern is that 9j et20 might be too big and I will rub on everything and wheels would stick out too much with 1-1.5" extended lca. Will I be fine with 9j or I should better opt for 8j?
Thanks.

 

I'd go 9j +20.

 

whats the point of extending the control arm if you run high offset wheels? kinda cancels out itself. do the 17x9 +20

 

extended lca pushes the pivot point of the wheel out away from the chassis. lower offset wheels just increase the arc while maintaining the stock pivot point. you will still hit, just further back. i did a crude cad drawing that represented this and i think its somewhere in this thread. if it were my choice, id run extended lca and lower offset wheels

 

I ordered 9J et20 wheels in the end, just will have to wait for a while until I will be able to test it since shell is just sitting without motor at the moment.

Anyone daily/track on pbm coils? Looking to get some wondering if you can get a great drift set up on em

 

from a daily standpoint, im on the pros with 8k/10k .... I don't mind them turned up 4 clicks up from full soft. But I run really soft tires when street so its a bouncy thing. Mind you, this is on my free chassis with 160k miles and worn out everything else.

I will have a completely different report when I throw them on my new shell that is solid everything and no more slop.

 

PBM make coils for an FD? I don't see an option on their site?

 

i've always admired your cars Russ. i wish i had legit te's.

party on, wayne
