Great color, awesome rims, subtle body kit - that's s14 I'd like to see on my driveway. What rims are these, they definitely make this car shine.[/quote]

Work Rezax II, I am almost done with the body as well. I am adding some JUN flares at the moment.

275/50/15 MT Drag Radials on 15x8 Weld Draglites with 4.5inch backspacing. Suspension is stance gr pro+ coils

dirtdiggler666 · 12-07-2008, 11:29 PM

wow drag car with stance coils what springs do you have in it? i would have thought the coilovers would suck for drag?

KA-T_240 · 12-07-2008, 11:37 PM

They do!!! I normally run stock struts in the back for drag racing. I can't find any pics of it with stock stuff in on the drag radials on.

This was from the test fitting. Figured it was a good way to make sure they dont hit the fenders.

Car is not really a drag car. I do road racing, auto-x, and drag racing with it when there is not snow on the ground.

dirtdiggler666 · 12-07-2008, 11:49 PM

Thanks.... All i got left is the body work/paint, cage, and some minor things. Just the stuff I can't do on my own left. However, not sure how far I am going to go with this car. I have to figure out when to stop throwing money at it. I got a wrx and sad to say it, its way to much fun for a stock car.

I am also now going to be starting rally racing in my WRX!

olah.inc · 12-21-2008, 08:45 PM

what tire should i run to have a flat side wall on 18x9 and 18x10 wheels?

im runnin`now 215/40 and 245/35, dont like the stretch look and will go with over fenders

implayaz9 · 12-21-2008, 08:57 PM

^^ur car looks sick

articdragon192 · 12-21-2008, 09:05 PM

245/275 stagger for flat sidewalls. will need more fender work for it to fit under the fenders though.

I think a 255/275 set-up would work better, 245/275 is too much stagger. The 255's will be exactly square with the 9" front wheels, the 275's will be just a little undersquare on the 10" rear wheels.

k, i wana run 275's rear. i have 17x10.5 + 24 wheels with a 8mm spacer.
will i need more of a spacer to clear the coils or anything?

olah.inc · 12-21-2008, 10:26 PM

245 and 275 would be a good idea, cause i could take the tyres from the rear to the front, so i only had to buy the 2 275 tyres for the rear
what do you think?

xs240 · 12-27-2008, 08:51 AM

Hey olah.inc any updates on your car? Looking forward to seeing the 245 or 255 fronts and 275 rears. 255s as racepar1 said are square, 245 will be okay I guess, but you could take advantage of 255s... plus less stagger.

It wasn't on a 240 though. It had torque.

I'll link it since it's a domestic:

And yes, they hid back there. I wanted to run 335s, but backed out of modding it any more and sold it.

That's the tire I want to run next. They make a 315/30-19 that I'm liking. The only downside is like the RT-615's. If they're cold, they're horrible.

cincyse_ryan · 12-29-2008, 10:28 PM

alright i need some help... im running a 18x10 +12 in rear and when doing a pull. a dent formed above the center on the fender... here are the pics, if you can see it, how would i go about getting this dent out??

That's normal, happens with almost every pull. You really can't get it out though without bodywork as the metal is being held in that position by the additional pressure put on the 1/4 panel due to pulling it. No paintless dent removal for that one.

OptionZero · 12-29-2008, 11:32 PM

the dent occurs when you don't cut slits into the lip when u roll it, from what i'm told

too late now, but useful for future if u ever have to deal with another car

MeanS14 · 12-30-2008, 12:30 AM

Yea that happens if you dont cut the inner fender out before you do the pull. I see that happen to people all the time

olah.inc · 12-30-2008, 04:23 AM

you have to put a basketball behind the fender and pump it up, thats how i did it

Matej · 12-30-2008, 04:32 AM

For future advice to anyone, just use plenty of heat and the dent won't form. I've pulled my fenders countless times, and hammered them in and pulled them again to fit different setups, my lips aren't even cut, and so far I've never gotten the dent. As long as you use a heat gun or at least a blow dryer and heat up the lip and the area above it well enough, you shouldn't have to worry about getting the dent.

xs240 · 12-30-2008, 05:52 AM

Yea us s13 owners don't get it easy with the pulls and rolls. S14s sheetmetal in that area is better and easier to pull and roll.

cincyse_ryan · 12-30-2008, 02:02 PM

so there isn't a way to fix that dent at all??

Not without paint.

1ZlowZ · 12-30-2008, 02:18 PM

Try what a guy above you said. He said he put a basket ball and pumped it up. I haven't taken a look there on my car but I'm sure its possible.
