    You definetly need a BBK... those brakes look tiny behind your 19s.
    Haha, I second the motion. Plans don't stop a car. Brakes do. :)

      Screw the motion, with luck the calipers will sheer off and a solid anchored object will "stop" his car forever.

            What part of "GET OFF MY FORUM" do you need help with?
            I thought we could all be friends here. You really don't like my wheels that much 'eh? lol. As for the kit, from what I understand AutoVision is likely sending one to DTM Power for an unbiased review. You can read all about it then.


            Is that a Siedl Tuning replica body kit?
            It definitely has some design characteristics of the siedl tuning kit, however there are differences. The AutoVision Styling kit is ABS Plastic, whereas the siedl tuning kit is fiberglass.

            And you're going to need a lot more than light wheels and sticky tires to go fast at the track, "brotha."
            Will this help? (pic below). But you are right; these are not a performance mod. lol. If I was going for performance I would have some 13's. Most wheels are a sense of fashion that takes place over pure performance. Maybe I can hide behind the excuse that the large diameter helps aid my diff ratio for the turbo?

              Haha... in true 2 Fast 2 Fiberglass fashion.

              Does it have a standalone fuel management system? How about direct port nitrous injection? Make sure to double clutch and not granny shift. :nice:

              Track cars aren't all turbo monsters, you know.

                Yeah, two NAWWWS bottles are on my list somewhere.. big ones. What's a clutch?

                Would you settle for a turbo monster street car? :twisted:

                  Personally, no.

                      God, this is childish. Let him have his big wheels.

                        Here you go... sorry the car is dirty and the body kit is off. It is somewhat of a work in progress for the shows this summer.



                        Let me know if you have any questions.

                          to accentuate tiny E30 rotors? ;)
                          Tiny rotors, eh? ;)

                            That is the same kit I am looking into.

                            What do you guys think of the willwood brackets and fitment?

                                I'd roll that biatch.

                                As long as it has the power to move and the brakes to stop go ahead and keep the 19's on there(which im sure youwouldn anyway).

                                Rims look as big as 18's tho
