Yeah, never quite understood the idea of flaring the fenders, but keeping identical offset wheels as stock.

:confused:
 
halfracedrift: yeah... i'm sitting just shy of 300hp at the wheels... pushing 11psi on the turbo, 3" exhaust all the way to a dragunfire turbo muffler, turboxs type-h rfl bov..... i'm holding off for now, because i dont wanna dump a ton of money into the 7m, when i'm just gonna drop in a 2jz later on...

altf8: yeah i know, those wheels are temp... looking for the right wheels right now... with a big 4" chrome lip on the rears... racing harts are holding my interest so far...
 
Update on my truck! I got some 16" Eagle 211's. Not the best wheel in the world but for the price, they work.

232 at the wheels, stock... i haven't dyno'd mine yet, but i figure, stock boost is 6psi... i'm pushing 11... and it's about 10hp per psi of pressure on a ct26 turbo... plus my straight exhaust... and cold air intake... would theoretically put me just around 300...
 
stevie.... damn those are shinY :) ............. bling bling... hehe

you gonna lift that thing? or drop it? ..... or are you content as is?
 
I'm content for now... until I get some more money. I'm thinking about either dropping it 1.5"-2" just to get rid of the wheel gap or getting a tonneau cover for it.
 
Hey Mo,

Just think of the huge wing you can put in the bed of a truck!
And plenty of room for all the stickers for the sponsors you don't have.
You need to get air bags and switches. Switches get *****es! 4 real.

:D
 
Must be fun driving up a hill in that Supra... Or over a speed bump. Or a kerb. Or a pebble... :D

I just bought:
mycar3.jpg


It's a 1998 Mazda MX-3 1.8i V6. It has 46,000 miles on it. It has power-assisted steering, ABS, air-conditioning, electric mirrors, electric moonroof, a pleasant Kenwood CD/Tape/Stereo (with RDS) attached to 4 pleasant speakers, a Clifford 300 TC1 alarm and immobiliser and is comfortable at almost any speed.

I don't car how much power it has. I don't want to modify it. I just like driving it and it's perfectly quick enough for my needs - coupled with a near bulletproof reliability record. And it passes well.
 
I love my 1991 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. Its my daily driver. I love racing it at the track, street racers can jump up my butt, im not into that, If Im going to be driving the **** out of my car for a quarter mile, Im going to want to see a time slip for my efforts. Hits consistant 12's all day at 23 pounds of boost. I turn it down to 18 psi on the street. Its definatly a fun car. :D
 
Nice. Always love to see someone who'd rather keep it on the track.

Nice times, but with 23 psi, shouldn't you be running a bit faster than that? Any other mods?
 
As I promised, here are some quick shots of the new wheels/tires. Car is horribly dirty though, sorry - just moved to the country. ;)

And, the Sumitomo HTR+ tires, 225/45ZR17.

Lemme tell you, when you go from a really crappy (not to mention completely bald) 16" all-season tire to a 17" ultra-high performance AS tire - it's like a whole new car.
