Archetype Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Thanks guys. crazytim - I'd love to see scnas of that mag if you get a chance. Those pics I've uploaded so far are out of date now. I'll add to the thread with more details (including engine specs) and pics later tonight. I can't remember how much I paid for the wing mirrors of the top of my head, but they came from here: http://www.aprperformance.com/ They are great quality, and are super light. I would like to get some for my daily car - when I buy it that is (still looking for the right one). Some of you might be intererested in that car too, but I'll keep quiet until I actually get one.

crazytim Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 ohhhhhh they have lots of toys... thanx. Will dig mag out and scan it in near future... have seen it recently, its funny it says something in bold writing like manufacturers getting it right: Mazda: YES! Nissan: NO! Probably a good one to blow up for the shed wall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Sucks bout the rims, they would have looked way good. Good to see a 7 taking form of something other than the modgies and eagers route. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 cone rx7 owner with taste in wheels is rarer than the sweet wheels that fit 4x110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Was thinking same thing bout all these mean rims in 4x110, then read he had adaptors to 4x114.3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 ^ the lung chumps were 110 etc but yeah, worth finding so you dont have to run adapters / s3 hubs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Oh true. Mean rims for 4x110. That reflection on roof is way awso too. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 More pics and updates added now. My Longchamps are 4x114.3, and I had the stud pattern changed front and rear to suit my wheels specifically. I thought about putting Series 3 front struts and rear end in, but the +38/40 Series 3 offset meant that the wheels would stick out even further.

KKtrips Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Archetype You should meet Uncle Jake and Sheepers - they are the guys that first come to mind when I see the quality of your work.. Hard Out mang -- Haaaaaard Out!! BTW when you do meet them - a word of advice - stay off Sheepers lawn, he don't like strangers snacking on his lawn and leaving crumbs..
