As for a track setup, we'll just have to wait and see (still gotta get more parts).

When you got to a real track day, they'll teach you all about "contact patch".

Car hasn't disappointed as far as maneuverability, in wet or dry. But I have a little *rub* i gotta take care of before I really toss it around.

Don't be sorry for anything. Looks are 100% subjective... I think it looks bad-ass. The fact that you did it yourself makes it even better. Good job!

PS> All of these type-A autoX comments are a real downer...

I wasn't going to comment again, I really don't care what you do to your car. I want to explain what I meant when I said you did everything wrong. You even admitted to it basically.

"Quarters are cut, welded/boxed. Front flares has to sit .5" higher than rear due to the fact they are made for a Datsun Z. I will drop the front a little, but will have to get camber plates to allow for clearance. I don't plan to go lower than that.

As for my "miscalculations", once I paid for the wheels (and was locked into a 50% refund contract) my rears were not available in the original offset I wanted, had to go 10mm closer to the chassis (from -16 to -6).

Tires are technically supposed to be 245/35 up front and 285/30 in the back. I have 245/40's up front and 285/35's in the back. "

Fenders that aren't even made for the car. Wrong spec for the wheels/tires. That's what I mean by done wrong. If you like it, great. I'm just giving my honest opinion. I get hate ALL the time on my car, it's a ricer, it's stupid, it's not functional, etc. It's apart of being into cars.

This is what is all comes down to in the end! I don't let it get personal.

Thanks for your input though.

Wheels: Forgestar F14, Super Deep Concave, Bronze Burst
Tires: Hankook Ventus V12 EVO EVO K120
Front: 18x9.5 +5, 245/40
Rear: 18x11-6, 285/35

Eibach Pro-Kit right now, more goodies after this year.

Just going to enjoy the damn thing now.

Before I'm told to drop it, NOT going to stance it. This thing is going to the track.

Preparing to sleep for the next 24 hours

Looks like a rally car. I dig it OP

venturaII · 06-04-2015, 04:01 PM

I kinda like it. I've always been a fan of the button-on flare look. The wheel offset is a bit more aggressive than I'd have chosen, but the overall look isn't bad. Thank god the thing isn't covered with spoilers/wings/splitters and the rest of the 'aerodynamic' doodads people imagine are helping them...

Edit: Oops - looks like I spoke too soon...just saw the last picture...lol

It reminds me of an off road vehicle to me. But it's nice to see something different to be honest.
