Spencer Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Yea man no flares as people have said, lip the guards and it should tuck sweet with the right tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmagedon Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 how would you recomend lipping the guards? I have already got that flit lip part rolled around, so need more pulling or whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Fo sho no flares, just roll and slam, looks mean. As for roof, for some reason I wanna say go red. Also what size are those wheels and what they cost ya? (if ya dont mind me asking) If you have rolled the lip in already, you may have to roll it back out, or just massage the guard out? Is amazing how far you can pull them out just by rolling and forcing them out, that should work on the rear, its the front that looks like it will be the mission, may have to flip lip out and shape/bog/paint.

EvoBilly Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 wheels look real good only took 37 pages to get there is that exhaust tip your final design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmagedon Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 The wheels are 15X8 0p They cost about $800 for 4 from the states, although some chaps are selling them on TM now for about the same price. And nah, need to change exhaust because it's bottoming out so will prob change the tip aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfels Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 if they are only 15x8s, i would say get some 195/45s all round or even go for 185/55s. once you get the new tyres on, then see how much you need to pull the guards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Dave, it took you awhile but this is going in a good direction. DO LIKE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 how would you recomend lipping the guards?I have already got that flit lip part rolled around, so need more pulling or whatever? I vote for 195/45's all round they sit nice and flat on an 8inch rim so you shouldn't have to worry about the anty stretch police, as for flaring/rolling the guards you can use a base ball bat or even a peace of pipe, put it between the guard and the wheel and drive back and forward slowly till your happy with the shape. This should work fine with the back but you might be better off getting a panel beater to do the front for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Ass Dragger Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Looks great, huge improvement Best thing I like about it is the fact that you have got wheels not cheap ass widened steels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Looks great, huge improvementBest thing I like about it is the fact that you have got wheels not cheap ass widened steels trolling much? OS cars and steels go hand in hand, go away Anyway agreed with mini mafia 195/45's look sweet on a 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treggo Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Looks good man, just get some lows, paint the roof and bumper and you will win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Plus one for deletion of rear wing, if suggestions are being sought. Looking good though, tyres look fine. I think addition of some negative camber on the front is on the money. It might just be uneven ground that the car was on when the photo was taken, but it almost appears as though they have slight positive camber?

Sparkle Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 PREFER THE STANCE ON 17'S. Nah just kidding. Will look good once you've finished man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Also. just rattle can the roof black in the mean time for max lols/if you take it into a GC panny, surely he'd do it for like 2hunny max. I vote lose the rear wing too. Even if you do a whorey pull off and red tape over holes for the mean time like all the cool kids do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Don't really rate the guards/body kit myself, if this is what you are after. Red roof looks awesome though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
