      Thanks for the credit, loved the look but just wasn't going to get the chance to properly use them this year. I really hope the CSCC event is a good suprise, I am going to try to make it to the event.

              would you like it if I had a broken front bumper, rusty hood and the oil pan was 1/4" off the ground? :p

              Cheades, I'm already registered for the april 11th event. They will probably need our help actually, I'm assuming 90% of the people who show up will be noobs.

                  The car is awesome, but Id say the fronts (at least) should not be as wide. Start a new trend with staggered tires!!!

                    Staggered tires on an ix is a recipie for severe understeer! Sorry but no thanks, the whole point of these is function before form. They are really track wheels but I'm just driving on them until I do something with my euroweaves. There's also no such thing as too wide. :)

                    BTW the front sticks out a little more because the ix front track is wider than the rear by a good 10mm and I have 3mm spacers to clear the brakes. I think even now I only have about 1mm between the caliper bracket and the back of the wheel :o

                                That is a sweet car but the wheels and tires look fucking terrible. +1 on the white letters and mullet (maybe some KC lights along the roof).
