18x10 in the rear! Who said it can't be done!?

"ROLLING" is defined as tucking in the inside edge, pulling is defined as more than that.... rolling is legal in prepared class, pulling is not, i got all this information from my co-worker, john mariani who is huge in the club racing scene, he is the one with the pictures of the build up of those fenders, they are in fact factory sheet metal, and it's amazing what he did, but you can see how fucked the paint is and shit in all those pictures, i know it's the same guy cuz i saw these pics in the layout with the pre-paint, bodywork pics... ill see if i can get the pics from john, im not accusing this guy of anything, im just passing along information i heard from the club racing world to here...

Please show me where "rolling" is explicitly defined in the club racing rules. Those fenders were achieved by using a fender roller, therefore, I'd say that they were legal, as they are "rolled" fenders.

Word.

No, Word * 10^2. Your car would be awesome if you raise it a bit and had wheels/tyres that fit. But everyone has to be a slave to what's "cool, "hip, "in the magazines".......don't you know what other people think don't mean shit. Fads will change, and you'll be the douche with skinny tires who isn't hot anymore.........

btw, don't refer to hairgel as "product" or spend more time than my sister in front of the mirror. fucking followers. the only true cool people who think for themselves and know it in themselves to be true they are alright, not have someone else tell them so.

Just like how I don't need anymore to agree with me to be confident in what I believe.
anyway, enough with the rant, let's get back on topic to the hot track beast. but qimis, get some tires that fit.

[qimis]

meh ..

You're all missing the point.

18 x 10's was not that hard on the rear. It was putting the 18 x 10's on the front that posed the challenge to me.

here's some of the pics: http://davidmcintyre.org/gallery/vie...=AkardPrepared

You can see ME ROLLING the fenders. Akard wanted me to use heat but I insisted on NOT breaking the rules. For minor and moderate rolling, paint breakage is not an issue - IF you use the correct tools. A bat is not the correct tool. Try a professional roller and a heat gun. No, a hair dryer is not the correct tool. Mike's fenders took aggressive rolling. so we skimmed them with bondo and painted them while the rest of the car got shot.

The wheels in most of the pics are SSR GT1's .. but really they're just street wheels. SSR COMP H's are on there now.

UPDATE: Even Skafrog (weird name buddy) does not know, but the car is coming back to my shop this week and we will take the 285 - 30 - 18 tires off and put on 305 Pirelli slicks. We will be moving the car to BMW CCA CMOD class. The car will race at Roebling Road in two weeks.. like Dec 12th ish.

Have'nt you all noticed my Sig before? I've got 12" wide goodyear slicks F&R under the factory fenders.

They got reset.

Like I said, loving the dish and beastly stance of it.

But everyone has to be a slave to what's "cool, "hip, "in the magazines"

I thought qimis' choice in wheels and rubber made his car more unique then most of ours in the wheel department, a selected taste - sorta like cheap ass wine, but hey that's just my take. Of course it goes back to "make your car how you want it, be comfortable in your own choice" sorta rant.

Holy fucking rake, Batman!





I'm curious, how truly functional is the wing? I only ask because it looks bad to me, but OBVIOUSLY this car was built with function FAR over form.

I just about pissed myself when I saw what's in the background of this picture.

[rwh11385]

Do those weather shades window pieces help?

btw, Jon, you are fucking sick/crazy........in the good way of course. :up:

You know it's a simple job when you can do it while you're on the phone :rofl:

Theres the M3 we brought from Florida. Placed 12th overall (starting for 18th) on Saturday's race. Not bad for J-Stock.
