need to pull the rears out like 10 - 15mm!! fronts fit great though.

:D

[drift into a curb]

Rubber wrapped on Mustang Cobra rims? That looks tits on your car! I always expect good things reading your threads. Keep it up.

[ThatGuy]

Let me just say this. :eek2: Holy Road Meat Batman!! :eek2:

[KiDyNomiTe]

Good to see someone that associates decent offsets with more than just drifting... How are the D2s working out for you?

[AceInHole]

the other title i was thinking of was "steam roller edition 240sx".... :p

with a higher offset and a fender flare i could definitely get some 335's in there and maybe run 315 up front.... although the 275's fit so well I'll probably just run 275 all around next time. the 17x9's with a +6 offset are perfect.... with like 6 degrees of camber o.O

[Hondamatic]

awesome! good luck with the setup

[mrmephistopheles]

holy shit. Nice work, PJ.

The D2's are working great, although I've recently swapped to the 7/5 kg springs. I'm now thinking that most of what I thought was "underdamped" with the 9/7 was simply tire deflection. With the Hoosiers on it feels rock solid on the 7/5's, so I may try swapping back to 9/7 before the autocross this weekend. The sidewalls on the Hoosiers are SOOO much stiffer than my Victoracers.... although they do seem more square on the rims than the 245 victos on 7.5's.

I really need to pull the rear or something, though. I might go at it with a hammer tomorrow or wednesday..... it's gonna be getting pretty hectic. Over winter it looks like I'll be investing in some widebody fenders :/

[thx247]

Looks like ass imo, but function over form imo.

[ch1873857]

geez. im jealous. that would look farking hot when its rolling/pulled and without the mudflaps. nice exhaust btw. get us some daytime shots and some different angles! good luck!

[MakotoS13]

now thats what i'm talkin about! MEAT!

[eeterp]

LOL, steamroller!

Is it tough to turn the steering wheel with the new setup at low speed?

[orion::S14]

Ace -

How much room do you have between the rear tire and the coilover body???

I'd guess a 1/2" or so?

(Trying to estimate wider wheel fitment for my S14...I'd like to get my hands on a set of CCWs in similar widths.)

Oh yeah...and daytime pics of the whole car, dammit!

Thanks - Brian

FUCK THAT, the mudflaps seal the deal

[Var]

aceinhole: are those replica cobra rims or factory ford equipment? Where can you get them in different offsets?

and how much do they weigh

[Steeles]

Hotness!!! my buddy just got same style rims. 17x9 +24 (whered you find the +6?!?!?!) and 17x10 +24... although he strecthed 235s all around (they were free.. will be wider when he actually BUYS tires :) )

[wootwoot]

ai ai ai!

:wtc: its just so wide, i cant control myself

[evilimport]

Jeezus, youre gonna need 700 horsepower to break those babies loose... that is some tyte shit for sure!!

[SilviaDriver]

[kid_nissan]

Hey man those back lights look sick how did u do them?

[ch1873857]

^painted them....

and dude those wheels are hideous. specs on them?

[Zemus]

Are you kidding me... are those 18x3s????? Steal them off a drag racer... Or a Civic?... This has got to be a joke!

[Johny5]

can you even get traction slowshifting into second on those?

[KiDyNomiTe]

Those have to be some sort of drag wheels off your supra or something?

[MakotoS13]

yeah, the wheels on the S14 are king while the S13's 3 inch wide hookers are queer. total opposite.

[Prok0]

Gah... that S13 looks like its rocking CCW skinnies on the rear... :loco:

S14 is hot though.

[NotDave]

LOL...

take off those silly wheels and put them back on your 10-speed bike :p

to the thread starter:
oh and i really like the meaty tires. gives the car a macho look instead of those tiny rubberbands you see all the time

and your speedo must be off by like 10 mph :keke:

[TheTimanator]

Ace: :bigok: me likey....but whats with the trailor hitch???

[email protected]: I swear that is Jay's old car. Also, you should blur out your license plate.

[Zemus]

You wouldent want anyone to steal those wonderful rear wheels

[DuffMan]

How hard is it to turn that thing?

[AceInHole]

Ace: :bigok: me likey....but whats with the trailor hitch???

the tires don't fit well in the car on the way to races (NHIS is like 3 hours away). I use a trailer for the tires and tools.

[HaLo]

LOVELY!!! I Love it ACE! Bring that beast down here some time next year... show our guys that 240sx ROCK! :D

[kandyflip445]

And stop giving Civics a good name. :p

Looks hot WITH the mudflaps, although if you took them off you could probably get back at some semis ;)

[GlacierFreeze]

That's awesome man. Very nice. I always look forward to your posts on what you do to your car. I think I have to wait another year before I can touch mine blaaaaah.

edit...
Keep the flaps haha.

[Id-]

dude rock on with those meat hooks!!!

who needs to drift when you can grip? :D

[hurleyboi514]

hell yeah!! you should go to nationals PJ... bring death to the BMW's!!

[sykikchimp]

push like a pig?

now you just need some more power to really turn those babies.. :wink: :wink:

[gmckey]

holy crap that's insane! but you need some widebody fenders horribly to fit the front w/out all that insane camber!

[[email protected]]

sorry for long reply


yah its Jays old car

the wheels are off my Bosses drag racing supra. CCW skinnys. Holy crap its weird over 60mph on these things. the car is everywhere. swaying bak and forth.

i blew a tire while doing burnouts in traffic so i had to stik those skinnys on the bak for 2 days.

hahaha yes I called it. CCW skinnies in the rear. doh :-/

i want to reaaaally bad... but it's my last year at UConn so I doubt I'll be able to get a week off to go to topeka (plus i should be starting an internship soon... ). Next year I'll definitely be hitting Nats, but I'll be there in Sept if I get lucky somehow...

push like a pig?

i dunno if it'll push. kookaburraz was saying I'm gonna oversteer like crazy since the AS304's are so much stickier than the 3's. I guess I'll find out on Sat.

I dyno tune tomorrow or Friday with the MSD BTM and 3" test pipe. Looking at maxing out the T25.... I'm waiting for completion of sale of my z32 wheels + victoracers (should happen this weekend) to buy that T28.

[420sx]

thats one bad ass John Deere steam roller buba! love the setup

[Kamikaze Tuning]

That's looks beautiful! Now get some fender flares, and you're good to go. :D

[S13FREEAAK]

Ace- Are your front fenders just rolled?

[kaje36]

deleated...

That is so sick...

[LanceS13]

Nice! Looks menacing to say the least...how does it handle?

[orion::S14]

Linky no worky, picture is a red X...am I the only one who can't see this?

[ch1873857]

Handles great... but had to really stiffen up the springs just to get it to stop rubbing. I'm running 9/7 kg springs with like an inch of preload all the way around (had just the rears preloaded before and was lifting rear tires going into corners!). I actually think I could be running stiffer springs than I am with these tires as the sidewalls are just that stiff!! With the AS03's in back and 04's in front it's very neutral.... and I would've dominated the event if I wasn't hitting the fender well where the car was previously hit (car had front end damage when I bought it). I BFHed it but a rain storm and tornado warning cancelled the rest of the event :(

[Loofee95SE]

OMG!! is that S14 in SUV forms!!!!...JK. that looks awesome. i wonder if u pull ur fender and lower it down will help with the looks??? but. that is @ss kicking cool. C

[Rennen]

Nice!

Did you have to lift at all :D

I was having problems putting power down in fast sweepers yesterday at autocross and thought to myself: "self, you need 315 Hoosiers in ther rear like AceInHole."

except.... i still have problems putting power down..... :o

[hurleyboi514]

i guess that means you have enough of it, eh? thats alot of meat... im having the same problems as well though, my fenders rub like crazy at autox's. i could either raise the car (pussy method :)), or go stiffer. i think ill go stiffer! :)
