How wide are your rims? If they're no wider than 9" they wont have crazy stretch.

10's kinda too big for the front especially on stock metal. They will have no clearance for turning and youll have **** all lock. Id look into getting 17x9 for the front with 215/40

You're running 18's with stock body...... Shut up.

Yeah, for now. Tire rack fucked me by not having my tires in stock that i wanted. They're like "substitute or refund" Refund that ****.

No venders had the 17/18 stagger i wanted in stock and i blew a substantial amount of money on good buckets, a clutch, hydro lines/slaves/masters and **** like that. And i bought a roof wing and ganadors. Towards the end of summer, i'll buy something but i haven't decided. It'll be a surprise. Ask dk, was i NOT pissed the **** off because i couldn't get my wheels? I was ready to choke a bitch. And the nogs who wanted to buy my 16's couldn't come through with 2 ******* steelies.....

I'm making excuses. Shitty ones at that but it's my story and i'm sticking to it. Trust me, i was supposed to have had 17/18 stagger on the car as i type this. Just didn't play out that way and money burns a hole in my pocket.

pulling collars is where it's at!
my car is high as **** still, and i'm down to one collar all around...

i need some stance's or PBM's. my ebay coilovers have no camber plates... if i didnt have the stock upper mounts it would go low..





still needs tons of spacings.

mopping dori's looks gay as **** when you're sunken...

18's on stock body with pulled fenders looks hard as **** for a bit. the dudes behind need to see tread blocks!

You're right. My **** is TERRIBLE. Internet sarcasm, all-in-good-fun **** is hard to detect. Expensive kickass wheels=good. Aero on a car with **** wheels=terrible and not Ivan the Terrible, terrible. Stepping in dogshit in converse walking to the front door to pick up your hot date terrible.

Going from rotas to THOSE (abc exclusive? Fitment plz?) is a huge step up and looks like you got your engine back in too!

yea lol those rotas were garbage. i didnt change them till i got most of the crashing out of my system. i got a deal on the ABC's.

the other motor went in 8 runs, i sold that, re-NA swapped the car, and ended up selling it, when i traded my 92 3000gt vr4 on ksports for this turboII.

i'm just giving you ****. with out us bagging on dudes, no one would step up their fitment game.

the ports were too big, and kept eating off the side seals from what my old engine builder told me. when the last one blew my friend bought it. there was just one stuck corner seal.
he said it could have been due to a fraudulent template because there were a few dudes who had motors built by the same guy, and they all blew. i cant drop names but the shop was highly reputable, so it wasnt due to lack of knowledge.

it sucks. i lost about $3k all in all, but this new chassis being stock (with its current setup) is plenty enough for right now. if i make it to the nationals, i'll rebuild the motor and maybe get a bigger turbo, but for now i cant worry about it. just need to drive.

Overporting an engine is something that the builder either rushed/didn't give a **** about or was just plain stupid with.....

The side seal ends and corner seals MUST be riding on the iron at all times, not dipping into the intake port. That definately sucks and sorry you ended up being out $3k. That's alot of money and work down the drain......

alot of people blamed it on the template, but either way, thats why im not dropping names... people make mistakes.
my setup now, gave me faith again, so i'm sticking with it...
