Mo! See you got a new turbo, kew.

Can't believe you went down to that cesspool though, you're more tolerant than most.

Those pictures were taken 9 a.m. and most of my club members where to tiered to wake up that early from the party the day before so they didn’t make it until later. Turbo is T3/T4 Garrett 60-4.

Russ, most of the time I wasn’t even around the car, even when I was around I was seating under a taint with other club members. By the way I saw Jerome’s car with South Carolina license plate, does this mean he sold his car?

I heard he sold that car a while back... I bought his brakes when he started parting out the goods... I was down at NOPI (didn't go in) so I didn't see your car, looks nice. It worked for me to stay outside with Sam (Tiger racing) and Mike (BG Miata) for free... if you got to watch the drift ex. I was wondering what turbo Sam (black s14) is running, spool was loud but it was still stock location. I kept frogetting to ask, I remember his gold car had a GT28RS and it wasn't as near as loud.

Ya, rome sold it to a good friend of ours in North Carolina. He shipped out for basic last month and won't need a car for awhile.

Glad you enjoyed the event, if you have a lot of other people to hang out with it's not horrible, I just can't deal with that many ethugs in one place.

Hey, man. I was the guy in the red shirt and camo shorts that talked to you about the "Yashio Factory" pink and your turbo and all. Looked great, man. I could've stuck my head in that turbo. :laugh:

As for the show as a whole...yes, there are a LOT of e-thugs. The constant bass and loud music is too much for even a DJ and there's bad taste and rice EVERYWHERE. BUT...there's also a lot of really nice cars there. I paid $25 to see the drift twins and I was happy and satisfied just with that but there were a lot of clean cars on the inside. Not many s13s but a lot of nice NSXs, Z32s, IS300s, etc.

Can't stand chargespeed silvia kit... And you need some wider wheels or lower offset. I like everything under the hood though :) As long as the ladies love it :), and I guess your opinion matters too :boink:

Sweet car man..!

love the kit
like the wheels
hate the valve cover

but i agree the wide fenders look kinda funny.. needs wider wheels.

but over all that is a pimp ass ride dude!!

I just put this setup last weekend so I really could not tell you much, all I could say is it will be over 360hp to the wheel. This setup was on my brother’s car and he made 360hp. However, I have cams plus Greddy intake manifold. I have another engine that I am on process of building right now so the car hopefully will make over 500 to the wheel.

Yeah, I know wheels are a little snaked in but I will have new wheels ordered soon. I am going with 18x9 +5 F and 18x10 -10 R

My next project is to clean the engine bay, Bridge seats, roll cage and black interior swap(just front).

Zemus
09-20-2004, 02:21 PM
why so skinney... 18x9.. put those 18x10 -10 in front, and throw some 18x11.5 -12 in back.. wait those are the 50mm over fender.. Im sure you can fit larger than even an 11.5 under that, and a diffrent offset...

You know, i am usually fairly supportive of member cars, however yours...I don't likey...

Poor rim choice given the fenders.
Ugly as sin valve cover (yashio bite?)
The kit is... :hahano:
The broad on the right is funk.

BTW, sick turbo...but thats all.

Congrats to all who cannot read.

The wheels were on his car long before the kit was, and looked very good. Now that the kit is on and finished he can move on to determining a better choice of wheel, based on what the car now looks like and what will fit. Some people can't drop enough coin at once to do everything they need, quit hating.

"She had a little pudge...I thought it was from drinkin 40's or somethin..."
:rofl: I thought the exact same thing when i saw it. Then I saw that turbo inlet thingy. That would suck if a small animal decided to nest in there.

yeah, I saw your car there saturday afternoon. It was my first time to NOPI, and my overall opinion was good. lots of weak cars, but also lots of stuff that I'll never see anywhere else, like the skylines, the supercharged GS400's, some beautiful 350Zs, Evos and Sti's. We don't get much of that stuff here in Ohio.

Went to NOPI three years ago and was so impressed I vowed never to go back... :-P

You want to see some real cars, head up to Road Atlanta this weekend for the Petite Le Mans. Lamborghini will be racing their new GTS cars (if they don't end up on a tow truck), Audi will always be around to kick ass and i'll be working the Panoz Racing Series race before the big event at noon on Saturday. Be sure to cheer for the Foxhill Racing Porsche GT3 RS that is run out of the shop where I work.

Like Russ said I only had my body kit on for 3 month and had my wheels before I ever decided to go wide body. Anyway my rims only seat about an inch in after using an adopter so that is not my biggest concern right now. I am more focused on building my second engine, swapping black interior and cleaning up my engine bay. It is not like I am done with the car, the car is still a work in progress. Everyone is in titled to his opinion but you have to realize everyone has different taste and what ever look good to you doesn’t mean the same for others. Anyway, all it matter is I like it and I am proud of what I have accomplished so far, if you don’t like it tough.

Here is a better pic how the wheels seat

i know you are not hating on his car when yours look like you took a set of old school ae86 wheels and put them on your car to make it look more like a drifter.

I have never said my car is a show car, it is my second car so I don’t have to drive it everyday but it get it share. I drive it at list 2 ~ 3 days a week as long as the weather is good. I street race it, take it to a track and dyno it every time I upgrade something so how is that any different then everyone else’s?

What I don’t understand is some people can’t even afford a full set of wheels them self, car looking like junk yard put together and here talking about how much my wheels are snaked in. If you actually read the above post you would have realized that I had these wheels a year before I have gotten the body kit. Until I could afford another set of $3k wheels this would have to do for now. Let this be a lesson and next time read before you rush to flame someone.

Thanks everyone else.

Yea don't let these haters get to you. All they do is nitpick your car this and that. "ohh why do you have 275s 40s on there, ohh theres a gap here, ohh you need to lower your car more" Yea I scape on anthills already, lets drop it some more for it to be just perfect :cj:

Right if I did that to their cars id be listing stuff all day wrong with the car.

Sup, thought I'd reply. I'm the one that owns Rome's car now (after 18-wheeler killed my old coupe). Here are some pics from NOPI of mostly 240s and some other funny stuff. Didn't see your car Mo. Enjoy.

You guys get NOPI and we get D1GP..

Lucky us..

btw, your car.. pretty nice. Except for the front grill and the rims. You might get away with it if you rocked FN01s 17x9 +15 all around.. I know I know, everybody and their brothers have those wheels, but the 5Zigen copse wheels, absolutely hideous.

JDM K's
09-29-2004, 10:22 PM
My car was in Green B section with a car club called Durty Dubs, mostly VW car owners. Congratulation on purchasing Rome's car hopefully I will see you around.

My brother is running 5Zigen wheels so I am staying away from that brand even if they are different model. Plus I have 20mm and 50mm over fender so I would have to run negative offset. I might go with 18x10 -10 F and 18x10.5 -15 R; try to stretch the tires a little.
