my 82 v8er
so some of you were wondering in other threads what was done to my car. I had posted some pictures of my other sa22 in another build thread a while back and had never updated anyone on the new car. These are some older pictures when i had first gotten the car running back las december. since then ive done a lot, but as you whish to know what was done back then...... ill post it.
i had done a 100 percent stock small block ford efi swap which i built and pieced together my self. it ran 14.2 at 100 with a 6500da. i dynoed 205 hp and 265 tq. i had a built ford 8.8 rear end housing that i had purchased from grannys speed shop and put in some 3.73' richmond gears with a 5 lug disc brake conversion. its 100percent emmisions legal ( even in cali). i HAD 295/18/35's on the rear and 255/18/35's on the front in which i did use wheel spacers only for the front. they were ruff racing wheels with some crap *** backspacing. i converted my fuel tank to an in tank pump 255 walbro setup and swaped out all the suspension for a full racing beat setup with tockio blues. other than that thats pretty much all it shows in the following pictures. i was have new pictures of my turbo setup, my painted car, new wheels and fc brake kit, along with the crush velvet interior in the followling weeks.

[QUOTE=bad 83;9556087]Okay. I'll speak up. Looks.............. I'll be nice. Any real
lol, i know, i know...... it looked like le terrible. i totally agreed hence the immeadiate change hahahaha. i chose the v8 for several reasons. i hate mustangs and i happen to have one.... bang for buck nothing compares. parts for the motor are easier to find and there seems to be a lot of info thats a lot easier to access than trying to build my 12A. Not knocking on rotarys at all ( there pretty cool in my oponion) but it got real tiring real quick after the car had had its third 12A in four months....probably just user error lol. i will say that comparativly, my other white car ran for a year and a half with absolutly no issues..... and i cannot complain about that!
heres a pic of the old car.

I think you missed the point of what he said, I think he was saying get rid of the Mexi style wheels (sticking out 3 inches all around) and get some proper fitting wheels/tires.
If your tires arent getting traction get better tire compound, dont just go wider...
