Did you cut the springs? If so, how much and how does it ride? Did you have to grind the calipers at all to get the supra rims to fit? Looks sharp by the way. Sideways picture doesn't hurt, I just tilt the monitor!!!

I got it with the front springs cut already. the rear springs are eibach springs for an AE86. i have the front ones too but the kid said they wouldnt work without the AE86 top spring mount thing.....idk. haha and i didnt have a problem putting the supra rims on. i'm gonna get some wheel spacers to give it a more aggressive look. it could ride better but i dont really care cause i've had nothing but lowerd cars my whole life. haha

That paint job is sick! I'm with ben, painting over that would be like painting over a twotone cream and gold s13! Evil!

Very very nice car, and straight too. Good work!

well thank you.

the hood and trunk were fadded pretty bad and so were the bumpers so i painted those flat black but i am going to keep the brown and gold. at some point i want to get it repainted but not change it just make it look alot cleaner. i think rims are a big next step...something with a good offset.

This is really one cool picture top job

Two questions:

1. What size tires are those?

2. Can you open the hood with those mirrors on?

ben · **Posted:** Mon Jul 13, 2009 3:58 pm

I agree with Colin. Thanks for the daytime pics!

5280MX62 · **Posted:** Mon Jul 13, 2009 11:54 pm

for some reason i having a brain fart but i think the tires are 170/60 14. and as for the hood.....haha yeah i can open the hood but i have to turn the mirrors up and out...i wasnt really paying attention when i put them on. o well it still opens

and thanks for the comments. i got a new phone and was messing around with the camera on it. i guess it works pretty good. there will be more picutres to come in the future.

i'm hoping to get some new rims with a nice fat lip on it. nothing over 15" i think. i'll have to look around and try some on to figure out what would look best. any input would be welcome.

thanks, Josh

If you want dirt cheap with fat lips, tough to beat SportMax wheels... :tu:

15x8 zero offset "002", comes in silver, red, black, and gunmetal

15x8 zero offset "513", same colors

15x8 +15 offset "501", same colors plus gold

Too bad you are soo far away

. I would trade you a sick set of 15x8 -20 boyd coddington's (have about 4" of lip) for that roof rack. I'd still do it if you covered shipping (I'm broke).

Let me know man! That rack is sick

i'll have to think about that shane_lxi. i do like those rims. i might go with some sport max tho so we'll see. i'll have some more picuters up soon. just got to find a good place to take them.

heres mine

you stole my idea for yellow inners tho. did you paint them??

15x7 0" offset will work on front, any larger needs negative spacing, or big spacers. The 7" gave me about 1/4" clearance to the coilover.

I can picture yours and mine driving around haha, Yours looks clean dude i dig it, we had the same home depot lip too!! I used yellow headlight tint stuff for my inners. I took one out and ran my intake to it and put a new lip on and did a boso style exhaust

Awesome good to know. I think 15x8 with negative offest could work nicely. I'll messure out and stuff when it comes time to order rims, I still need to change my suspension first.
