glad to see guys in the north east build cars.. you guys in the warmer climates had no idea how hard it is to build a NICE car with 6 months of shitty weather.

i'd much rather be sweating my ass off in 105º weather than freezing my t*ts off.

Unfortunately its a 40 series, 235/40 wanli to be exact. I want to jump up to a 255 but with a 35 sidewall next time. The 40 is just too tall and im having some clearance issues in those last pictures with it.

no action shots yet, trying to figure out an issue with the title. It took me just over a year to mess around with it and get it to where it is now.

wheels are 18x9.5+14 then a 30mm spacer in the front, then a 18x11-5 rear, im going to space it out a bit though.

They are hidden all stealthy in the interior. I'm going to borrow a friends wide angle and shoot the interior tomorrow probably. Keep an eye out for the photos.

I'm running 215/35 in the front and 235/40 in the rear

It's been awhile, but I took the car home finally, its just been sitting down at DSG collecting dust. The alignment is all screwy and I need to flush the coolant system pretty badly. Bill fixed my exhaust to clear my bumper finally too, pretty sweet. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it so far. I'll be doing some small stuff to it Thursday hopefully to get it more "driveable" so I'll try to remember my camera.

Anyways, here's some photos from the other day when i brought it home.

No AC or heat, doesn't get hot enough often enough here for AC and I don't drive it in the winter so no need for heat. Plus it's not my DD, nor will it ever be.

Nope, thats how it comes.
