Exactly. It's the spoke design. I just ordered F14's which have the exact opposite design philosophy for the spokes. Completely flat.

I think your wheels fit your color perfectly. Couldn't get any better.

Great build, like what you did with radar detector. Best color as well.

Steve201brz · 09-13-2013, 05:54 PM

good idea with the radar, i put mine directly above the rear view w/ some suction cups. fits perfectly in the gap. liking the build man, you made me look up the closest station that has e85. 12 miles away just over state lines! so glad i live in between two states cause eventually i'm goin SC

curious as to how much you lowered it. can't decide what size wheel that i'd like best w/ coilovers...sometimes loving your car seems like a burden lmao

Thanks, happy to see its being discontinued :P but now I wish I took better care of the front end. So many little nicks.

its lowered on eibach sportlines which is about 1.4 drop. Also I have an e85 station 5 mins away but watch out if you go on trips, it eats up your gas mileage bad so plan to find a refill stop. I do have a 93 map but the juice is just too good to give up.

If you are stuck on wheels you can always go rpf1s. You may not stand out but they are a classic wheel that will even be great on the track (unlike my heavy miros)

Awesome build... enjoyed reading and the vid's. Problem is, you've made me rethink turbo. I'd hate to be in a corner and the turbo spool up and lost control under the ass end. Hmm.... damn you! lol

I think everyone is happy with their turbo build, but I felt the same way. I like to think I am a good driver but I am not sure how I would react if I hit boost to hard around a turn and lost control. Do a proper build and you will be happy with whatever you choose.

That doesn't happen if you drive the car properly. You don't accelerate in a corner.

There are more than enough people that don't drive properly :P There have been enough threads made on this forum with stock 86s wrapped around poles to prove that. But I agree, this isn't a turbos fault.

Concur that statement, but I don't know when a turbo kicks in, so I don't know if it does or not. You do accelerate out of a curve though....
