Not much rebuild w/streetport. Maybe custom v-mount. My goal is to make about 300ish with the stock non-seq twins. I got the roof spoiler from shine. It is the jam and it was cheap. Yeah I really like the fitment. It is not super agressive so it fits the aero nice

first off
hello everyone im a jackass
second hello fellow ziptied homies, lets rock it out with our ***** out

third... hello darolllll


forth pimp rims man
slam that ****, having 18s in the back and not tucking half the tire is very homo of you, front fitment looks good, nice kit, lower it til u tuck half the tire in the front and rock the rim on the 1/4 and ur golden (love the fact u have a good taste in ****, so i know ull do the rigth thing when the motor is in and all that jazz)

fifth... u dont hit the fenders or 1/4s by being flush (rim to 1/4 NOT tire edge liek u homos with large sidewalls).. its called camber and when ur wheel hits bumps and what not it goes inside at a angle, AND if u have coils, which u should ull be a lot stiffer and it wont go through ur roof n **** as it looks like ur on struts? and oem springs? good thinking 4x4 mang.

sidewall flex is for ****, stretched tires have a very responsive feel unlike giant rubbers which folds on itself, if u try it and dont like it cause it conflicts with ur driving style then so be it, at least u tried. ive tried large sidewall and i dont like it.

god damn u fd owners for having such cool cars and making every single one of them ugly except for like what 5 total? none of which have i ever seen here im just assuming they all cant be bad HAHA and even those cars they dont post on rx7 forums cause they know how gay u all are.


next meet, do this to ur neighbor


HAHAHA the icon name is *****


i wanna see more pics stat, its lookin to be a cool FD for once
<3 keep it up homie

oh and i drive a slammed s13 thats flush as **** and all that ****
and the car is worth like 5gs to everyone cause they are homos, but has well over 30gs in it and im the first one to call it a ugly piece of ****

i make 15.xx an hour, so come and blow me


how about u whip u ******* out too and measure?

You are a worthless peice of ****. You cant even spell FOURTH right. And your talking about tucking the wheels. We arnt here for the stick low rider look, our cars are actually good for something, unlike your "tucked" s13. Which just looks retarded when you let your "bags" down and scrap the whole bottom of your car. GTFO

FREAKING CONGRATS... (although i would have streched the tires, added some 3deg cam and droped it a lil with airrunner&coilover suspension)

btw... are those stock rotors? and do you know the lowest offset for an FC?

actualy, no... he can lower the rear about 5-10mm (not to cover the rim, just the tire) and the same for the front! with this setup he will not rub (if he streches the tire a bit)

the cats over at http://www.vipstylecars.com/forum/ in weels and suspension got that thing down packed

ps... google the tanabe SUSTEC Pro AirCOBRA suspension!

Sorry Sparky, put I've owned one of these cars since '97, and run 4 different aftermarket suspension setups and 8 different aftermarket wheel combos in both 17' and 18", and that ain't happening... at least on a car that will actually be used to any extent.

This thread sucks. Wheels are the most pointless argument ever. Everyone do what you want and leave other people alone. No one cares what anybody thinks.

Live and let die, bitches.

I can only express my deepest appreciation to the Lord that you do not own an FD. We have had enough of our beautiful cars fall into the hands of "mad tyte" morons like yourself, only to get either wrecked by driving like a jackass and not knowing how to control the car, or by making it super-fresh dope and disgracing the car.

bottom line, lets see who can get around a circuit faster. those of us with proper offsets and rubber, or your fools who think these crazy offsets and stretched tires somehow improve performance. I've got nearly stock power but i'd be willing to bet I'll be passing you up around a track.

oh, and by definition, isn't doing a mod to your car that LOOKS like something but in reality isn't actually the real thing considered RICE? for example, "Altezza" style lights on any car other than an altezza, running a BOV noise maker on a non-turbo car, and running larger wheels without adding any extra rubber. Looks so cool! too you maybe, but that's about all... Let me know when you see a professional race team running a stretched tire, or setting up their race car with the wheels out past the fenders. You ******* teenagers need to learn a thing or two from a real magazine like Race Car Engineering, not super street and HCI.

If you were standing in front of me right now, I'd bitch smack you so ******* hard your head would spin and you'd be crawling around looking for your teeth.

Here, this is what a properly setup street FD looks like, no rubbing or rolling the fenders:


Now go crawl back into whatever rathole you came from, and stop polluting this forum with your horseshit. Omochi should be ashamed to be associated with a ******* like you.
