17x8" ET25: Lightweight Track Wheels: APEX ARC-8 HERE NOW!

[Bishop]

When do you need pics by? I really wanna get a volvo lip on (or iS if I can find it), and replace my pass. mirror, paint em, and re-black my rockers / rear bumper before another photo shoot. I really wanna do this soon though, we'll see what happens. I'd be happy to go shoot some before any of this though if you need pics soon. What angle do you mean for the pics too? Lemme know

the image I need now is being shrunk down to 145x130 pixels. so detail is not really visible. but you can still make out the basic wheel style at that size. take your time for regular photos but if you could take on that looks just like in your sig, but facing the other way that would be sweet. background doesn't matter for that shot as i will edit everything out. Thank :) just crank the wheel as much as possible.

here is the temporary icon i put up

Ok, I'll see if I can get you something tomorrow

I've made my mind up. Screw the scoobaru project, E30's getting kept now or sold for a four door. Fuck me but that looks tits.

[MR 325]

Bishop, looks great man! Nice to see you put a beefy tire on there too!

lol, Your gonna find a way to keep the M and the e30 eh? Doooo it. You can buy another Subaru down the road... like me.... hint hint, 400+whp street monster... *cough* rotated crawford turbo system... hint..... Built motor and suspension.... *cough* Thats for another day though, no more off-topic.

Thanks much. I really wanted to stuff as much rubber into the fenders as possible. I'm happy with the results, just needs some tweaking.... Some spirited driving just now led me to see I need to mod the rear fenders because I'm happy with the ride height.... So... Considering HIDs, iS or volvo lip, find replacement mirror, paint both mirrors and rocker panels and bottom of rear bumper and possibly part of front bumper black, then need to check ride height to make sure they're all spot on, get alignment, install brake stuff..... Prosper....


Yeah, I write a lot. So what.

Yes. Or sell the M3 and keep the E30. I dunno.

Project cars.....so much awesome.

Dude, I still say find a way to keep the e30.... Remember like, back in one of the past 100 emails or so, less power = better momentum driver ... Then speed n powa later.


Oh, and I'm pretty happy with the project so far. The only thing left on my list to install is my fluid, which I have to figure out how I'm going to go about doing.... Pads, lines. At least that's all I have to install that I have... Like I said though, reconsidering HIDs, need a new lip, wanna repaint some stuff, and I'll be happy. I don't like my seats either... fawk

Bishop,

How is the standing start traction with the 235 star specs?

Haha, use my own words against me. We shall see, I have a smidge over a month to figure things out.

As long as you're enjoying working on the car, all is good in the world.

[Bishop]

Well, to be honest I don't know yet. I only got them today, and didn't wanna flog on them yet.... Starting them was fine like normal / kinda spirited.... I will say though, I flogged the car around a bunch of corners like an hour ago.... Cold, empty streets... read COLD... varied speeds. Car stuck like glue, didn't even get a squeak the tires.... My favorite was a right hand, roughly 160* turn, flat (not off camber), but it was slightly down hill.... Normally, with some water, it's ideal for sliding cause it's coming off the highway after the speeds drop to 45 (i think).... Like I said, no one on the road so I took the right turn from the right lane, not the turn lane, doing about 55..... Not a peep from the tires.... I told you before man, I had em on the Subaru, they rocked... These are brand spanking new and they ROCK. The nitto that n2bimmer is running would probably be good too.... I think the Star spec is cheaper still but I'd have to check, and they're running a rebate right now... $75 back in an amazon gift card, or $50 cash.

You'll figure it out. I am enjoying the car thoroughly.... I was tempted to go back to flagstaff, but I headed to longmont instead. I was excited, which was cool, but it kinda clouded my thinking cause I couldn't think of anywhere decent to go toss the car around to check traction.

[ngcreese]

ngcreese did you delete your post? I definitely got an email notification saying you responded with a quote, but there's no post here..... Pics will be up shortly, just got home from Bimmer Burger Night and took a handful. None really specifically of the wheels, but I'll get more tonight / tomorrow... THE NIGHT IS YOUNG! I've got people to see, things to do.

Yep... I said....

" Pics!! :hitler: "

But... I figured you might want to take a moment get that "Money Pic" just right.
Yes, that's it!! That's the money pic... Beautiful set of rims on your ride!!!!





...Did I mention that they're beautiful?

[Bishop]

Lol yes. I'll take a few more for eddy and the thread, then once I sort out a few things, a proper shoot will be done

[rneedham1979]

How much would you say you rolled the rear fender? When you have time can you take clearance pictures of the rear, both outside and inside? Thanks bro!
