    Personally I think it could use wider wheels. It looks kinda weak, all the body....then the little wheels. I understand you don't need the wide wheels for your racing, but why would you need the wide body then?

    Other than that, looks great man. Nice job.

      I would run something more like 10 in the front and 12 in the back for tire width. Too much space in those wheel wells.

        Yea I know, I will have a set of custom SSR's coming soon. Those are Ary's new 17x8.5 and 17x10 wheels with a huge spacer. Ary didn't make the spacers quite big enough for my taste, but thats cool. It was a total rush even to make it to the show.

              The purpose of the fender extensions is to cover meaty tires. Therefore, you need to find some 17x10 rims and fit at least 275 rubber. Otherwise you are just walking around with a flashlight in your pocket pretending you have a big schlong...

              BTW The lip extensions should be at least 3" to 5" higher to actually have any purpose and allow wide tires.

                I love the spoilerless look currently. The headlights suck. The hood needs to be thrown in the trash, and then killed with fire.

                  I really like the color. I would however like to see it with some real wheels! Also without the angel eyes but, it's your car.

                      Whats in the engine bay?

                          The bumper waves will get better when I have time to make a support for it, and that part of the hood needs some work. It pokes up like that because I am using hinges that groma made to open the hood from the back.

                          The engine bay has the 4.4 V8 in there, I'll get you some pics later.

                            Personally I think that it isnt really necessary to roll overfenders the way the manufacturer seems to have done, makes it look kinda cheap.

                            Looks good though, cant wait to see it done

                                crazy transformation.. im just getting my feet wet in the drifting scene, but i really like your build.. I plan to build another e30 with a engine swap, how do you like your v8? ive drifted alot of different e30s and i think im pretty set on a 4cy turbo for sliding/weight.. anyway nice car
