Imports

[homeforsummer]

13" that were on a late FB RX7. Could be some cheap knock offs of something, there's no branding or marks on them, there is a spare with 12/81N on but that's all, just want to know any more info if I can when they sell!

They look very similar to the sort of wheels my mate's dad ran on his old MK2 Escort rally car. No idea what brand, but design wise they look identical, and that size is about right too.

Edit: This Escort:

I am with this thanks for asking.

Meh. Wrong AWD turbo 4-pot.

Weller?

 

[a112]

Weller makes that kind of wheels. Mangels also

 

[Time_Attack]

You can buy those at a local farm supply store with a tire for like $10.

People actually buy wheels for trailers instead of taking from scrappers? Would anyone bother with tiny 13" 8" wide wheels for a trailer, for a different look I suppose

No biggie for me The owner left a pile of FB panels and parts about the barn we just want to shift them. Might be Weller I guess. I was hoping they would fit my escort, if it was from the older FB they would have gone on a treat

Hmm well the guy did do some competing of sorts, suppose they were ones he didn't mind roughing up.

Too many clean cars in here! Not a fan of porsches but think my mate's looks awesome when its all dirtied up although he wasn't keen on that idea

What engine is that?

Edit: I want one of those.

 

[Ibonibo]

I don't know but it looks like an audi 2.5 (the ttrs, rs3 one)

[CodeRedR51]

What's the deal with importing those? I assume you could just register it as a regular EK Civic?

 

[Keef]

A bit less polish and a bit more lip and, viola, some Lambo wheels that don't look horrible.

I honestly have no clue

 

[Keef]

Why bother importing a crappy Civic when you can be BALLER.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Is that right exhaust pipe only there for looks?

Edit: And I'd rather have the Civic.

 

[hemisport15]

I'll leave this here.

You are right. It's an Audi engine designed with Donkervoort. 340~400hp, 450nm, at 700kg of awesomeness.

It's a single pipe with a dual Isis tip like Perfect Balance's car. The airflow dynamics inside the pipe just worked out in a way that most stuff only flows through one tip. This is very common in new cars with multiple tips on each pipe, I'm surprised you haven't noticed it before.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just curious since it was cleaner.

I've seen cars from the 80's before that actually had a "for looks" tip.

If by baller you mean throwing a car together riveting on body panels and calling it a finished product it's something I'll never aspire to be

Not quite, mine actually has two small canisters, these are just straight pipes. Same idea though, and yeah, my left one flows a bit more exhaust, despite being split equally before the first muffler.

You'll never aspire to be a built, gutted, caged, brutal track car that get pounded during organized competition on a regular basis?

That's lame.

Not my type of S13 either, exterior wise. But I can't say that is my ideal EK either. Mainly because of the height and fitment.


Now this is my ideal civic (posted it before) minus it not being a Type R, which is irrelevant, at this point there would be nothing left on it R if it was.

 

[homeforsummer]

Love those Porsche 356 shots 👍

And always been a fan of the EK9. Though personally, it's one of those cars I'd probably keep perfectly standard. Looks great as it is. Though I'm a bit like that with any Type R to be honest.

Awesome engine.
