Car is looking great! I cant wait to see the finished product.
BTW, what rear wing do you have? Looks similar to origin but goes out onto the quarters.. ? |

Haha, it is actually 3 on each wheel, the two that stick out are my blinging brand new studs. Quote:
Thanks for the comments/compliments everyone! I am anxious to see how the car sits with the motor in it. I might have to raise the rear up a hair...like literally a hair. I am not sure if I'll be able to achieve that ride height with ~0 camber with 17s. I am hoping I'll have the money together to get the motor put together in about a month.

Picked up my new RSs today from the post office - they showed up while I was out of town. I discovered some interesting surprises as I opened the boxes. Instead of four 17X8 +50 RSs I received a set of 17X7/8 +45/+50 RSs. This is pretty exciting because the 7 inch RSs have 6" barrels, so they are more sought after by people looking to run more lip/clear up more inner room for their suspension.
I already have 6" barrels up front on my car so I am probably going to list the pair for sale on a VW forum and see if I can't find another pair of 17X8 +50s.

Haha, yeah it is RE-Spec, although I told him I liked Respec' (Jamaican style) better.
I did a photoshop of my car with some sides/rear and front fenders. I changed the color up a little because I couldn't get it to match right on the sides/rear:

I'm not too far from Rosemont, I live out near Indian River. I PMed you back - you definitely want to talk to Danny about that, his name on here is: ballinnmiami240sx. He posted just one page back. I think you came out to the first Sumospeed spring show back in 07? You had what looked like a mostly stock silver moss S14 but you had a fully polished/chromed out 2JZ engine bay right? I was blown away by that!

lookn good. As for buying new wheels to take them apart, there is no need for that. You can just buy the barrels or lips from some sites. Could save you a few..

If I didn't get my RSs at such a retarded price I would definitely be buying them off people in pieces. I have friends in Japan and my parents live there so I buy Japanese ones for dumb cheap.

Not yet, I should be picking it up this weekend .
It'll be doing some sitting for about a month but once I get my finances back where I want them it'll picking back up with motor work! I only need a few more parts to get the motor together, then it is just a matter of wiring it up and dealing with the details of the build.

There is a thread in the Tech section (roll center thread) if you feel adventurous enough to do the project yourself.
