Mexi special HUH I am sure my suspesnion is worth more than your car LOL

Pissing match fail.

Jean, have you talked with cbouchez regarding fender extension?

[Jean]

^ yes, and i have saved as many pictures of his mt1 car as I found :)

Well I am quite sure it's not worth more than either one of my E30s but I fail to see how that's relevant.

It has everything to do with nothing. Just getting back at the mexi comment. Having fun. And average retail on a E30 is $4000. So yes worth more than at least one.
Bottom line I just like 275s on E30s

[accident]

i promise you, Matt's E30s are worth more than your suspension. Unless you're running Motons, and even that would be pushing it.

Who cares how much his car is worth? I think bmw guy is running Ohlins suspension. Keep the thread on topic guys! The internet has too much hate

[Jean]

I'll keep you guys posted, I am currently looking for some bad/used 275/35/15s for test fitting the 15x10 wheel. I don't want to buy new tires mid-season, and realisticially only being able to run the last 2 weekends on them.

But, still going with this, just wait take a little longer as I am doing research and making some calls.

How big of a spacer do you think you'll need? I would think a 275 on a 10" wouldn't be much meatier than a 225 on an 8" wheel. I would say 15mm would clear it, no? You're on GC's right?

*Patiently waits for Jean to do all the legwork figuring spacers, fitting etc so that I can replicate it afterwards*

Just kidding. I've been following your car for a while, one of my favorites. In fact a lot of the stuff I've done to my car was inspired by your build. The fact that you consistently dust other cars at autocross is just a bonus... hope to meet you at a norcale30 meet soon.

I agree and was just making jokes. Hell to be fair its worth more than my OWN car. As far as the insurance company and car lots see fit.
AND YES ON TOPIC

I have some I will give you just cover the UPS and its done. That gets you a start.
I killed them doing this http://www.flickr.com/photos/scott_r...7627118702032/ as they were last seasons tires and dead anyhoo. Let me know

[Jean]

Dude, i'll take them! Maybe fedex ground will be cheapest?

Can you give me a shipping quote to 95821 please, I want at least one if not both depending on cost of shipping from Utah.

9.2 vs 10.8 section width between current 225 vs future 275 according to tirerack.com

You are correct, gc modified struts and coils/plates. I am not sure, thats why I want to test fit and see what needs to happen.

[JJ1]

Cant wait to see the results. Its safe to assume you will have to modify the fenders, what do you have in mind?

Ya what I can do is like tire rack. Ill stick them together and mail them as one "box" Ill get a quote tomorrow or next day.

One option is to go with the add-on/rivet type fenders, and second is to take it to a good body shop and get the fenders extended . I am leaning towards second option, will get some quotes and go from there.

Do NOT rivet up your car. I am close enough to find you and smack your smirky face.
