Yeah you don't need to roll in on the tires, just show them that you will be using them.

word up! thanks yo. getting really excited about this event... idk what to expect 'cuz i have not participated at a federal event, but i think i may have been a spectator once or twice when they were held in el toro... so are you leaving the day itself or did you want to crash it at taylor's pad too and party on?

Yeah you don't need to roll in on the tires, just show them that you will be using them.

I got a dilemma: so i found some Federal tires to put on my 16x8's, but my offset on the wheels is +38 front and +35 rear, so the wheels are not fitting unless i got an adapter or spacer to push it out in order to clear the suspensions... does anyone have an adapter or spacer that i can borrow just for this event? I have to be wearing the Federal tires to get in for free and once i'm in, i'm changing to drift tires and give your adapter or spacer back to you... My adapters won't be arriving until next week or two just in time for the July 20th NOS drift event. Please PM me or what not if you can help. I appreciate the assistance. pe2one, can I borrow yours? lol



Jon, if i can't find spacers or adapters, but i got the tires wrapped on the wheels and will most likely be in the back of my car, then can i still get in for free...? haha, dumb question, but i had to ask (~.^)

Naw, I've got a lift as well. That would be cake. I have press also in case someone needs to press a part together. Remember this is only one night so don't bite off more than you can chew. The work will have to be done by the owner as well. I'll help but I have a lot of work to do early Saturday morning on through the afternoon.

Oh and no timing belts or waterpumps. I don't want to deal with that shit. Coolant is too messy and timing belts take too long.


Taylor

hmmm, what about front CAB? should i do that too? or i can probably do that at the castro's shop.

Wut do you mean wut?

parking lot... drifting...?


wut?

[E30_fiend]

damn, ummm... i think i need to change my driveshaft support bearing... can you spot me and pick up that part, then i pay you back this weekend? would that be too much work to do at your shop? if i can lift my car, it will only take me 20 minutes

Yeah no drinking and drifting but there's a really nice area to do it right by my work. We can do some last minute things if need be. I have about every tool you would need. As long as it doesn't take forever we can try to get it done. Don't bring a task that's too gnarly. I don't want a car sitting in my shop when Monday comes around.

edwin's 17's were 17x7 though and mine is by 8, so 1 more inch back hitting the struts in the front @ ET38... so you have a mount and balancing machine at your word?

Jeremiel,

Stock offset is et35, you should be fine. If they don't fit, talk to mr Joey. He may be able to loan you those really thick ones he has on his red iS. They are like 20mm spacers.

Why can't you run the 16x8s in the front and the bottles in the rear? I don't think you should have a problem fitting the et35 or 38s in the front though. Edwin's were 17s and his were like et42 or some crazy shit. The first thing you should do is just try to see if they fit.

If you want, we can hit up my shop the night before the event and swap out the wheels and take them for a drift in the parking lot to see how they do.

Let me know.
