Reunited with my M-tech 1

Awesome! Excited for you. Will be a fun project.

I'm actually lachsillber, so we're more like siblings. Going to look very nice when you get it all put together. I'm purposefully staying away from shadow line on this car. Would only do it if I body matched the bumpers, but because they are chrome, I'm keeping the chrome trim throughout.

Yeah the chrome trim does go along nicely with the chrome on the bumpers, I just love the look of shadowlined windows.

I'm not sure if I'm going to paint match, the chrome on the bumpers is too nice to paint over. I just noticed my car even has the same interior as yours, minus the seats. lol

That looks nice. I'd personally keep those tires, but let me know if you'll get rid of them. I may be interested depending on the size.

Needs wider/taller tires or more low.

Looks amazing besides those criticisms.

Absolutely. Trying to figure out what wider/taller tires will fit given the 8" width w/ 5mm spacer in the front, 9" w/ 8mm spacer in the back, and the current stance. There's a fair amount of space to fill :)

It may be a combination...drop half an inch all around and fill in the rest with rubber.

They have like 100 miles on them in total, and the rears have some subtle rubbing on the inside tire walls from the previous owners attempt to slam the car w/ those wheels on and drive it down the street. He wasn't very smart when it came to test fitting.

Tires are Yokohama S.Drive 195/40/17 fronts and 225/35/17 rears

I'd be interested in selling them to get wider/taller tires. Still looking for recommendations on what could fit well given the givens.

This is nice!

Very nice! You just need to replace the front side bumper strips for the correct ones :)

Beautyful car man! Love everything about it!
great job bud!

Nice car!

No way! As anal retentive as I am about that car, I did not even notice that! The correct one is as pictured on the driver's side, correct? I need to dig up the part number and see if BMA can special order it for me.

You can slice off the bottom section of the bumper strip to match the passenger side to look like the driver side.

I am running 215/40/17 on my 17x8.5 wheels without any issues.

I am hoping to stuff some 245/35/17 on some 17x10 in the rear.

I'll buy that interior off you or trade you plus cash for the cleanest tan interior you have ever seen!

We have terrible roads in Seattle, and lots of hills. I live on a hill. I even regraded the entry to my garage and put in a custom angled garage door so I could park in there whatsoever. If I go much lower, it will probably rub.

I'd rather just put bigger tires on there than lower it anymore to be honest. I like the slammed look and all, but it's just not sensible here. .

Seattle literally has the most low and slammed cars, its crazy how many come from the PNW so that excuse doesn't really work for you lol, you just gotta make em' fit and drive careful.

Downtown Seattle ;)
