Those rims look like cheese graters. I dig them though. Have fun with it.

You can go less than 13 in the front. I have et9 in the front and it looks perfect.

[fporro]

tought 9's et0 was perfect for rear and et13 for front, why are you running spacers at both ends ???

(from a future fool) ;)

edited, oops, 8's with et13 for front should be a straight bolt on., no ???
please esplain :)

Actually, the rear is higher than the front if you look at the line of the car, it's just that these cars have lower rear arches than fronts as do alot of German cars. Everyone said my car looked like it had dead bodies in the trunk because of this, but if i put something under the front of the pinch weld, it'd fit under the front with the sale clearance as the back.

I know. He has coilovers though so this can be compensated for.

he got a bumper swap, if you look closely he has the post face lifted valance.

the tail lights look 88+ to me. Maybe I'm :crazy:


are u running 15mm spacers on the front and back.

Ah. I have always been skeptical of the SR20 motors, and I already have a 300hp KA24DE, so ill be swapping that in. :D I DID buy an RB25 for the project intially but the hassle of rebuilding it, moving the firewall, moving the radiator support, etc. was too much of a headache. Id like to keep a BMW motor but for my needs a KA is better suited. I dont feel like smashing on redline on a expensive s50 and having to rebuild one every year and KAs are dime a dozen.

ET0 on the front as well. 215-40-16 tires all around. I had to pull the holy hell out of the fenders to make everything fit in the rear, but it worked. The front was not a big deal.

It doesnt scrape anywhere (driving my last car has trained me well. my last cars front was about a quarter of an inch off the ground or less).

FYI M20's are a dime a dozen too.

Good to know, your tire/wheel combo is identical to what I'll be having future, I have early arches rear, so I believe there will be no problem.

Do you get much bumbsteer or does your steering "bite" if you don't hold wheel firmly?

i thought so. a couple of my buddies are on there(microdrifter, angry earl)i remember seein that first pic in the project section. car has come a long way. you gonna keep the bmw motor or do a SR or CA?

looks good except for the reverse rake. Drop the front or raise the rear a touch and it'll be perfect.
