Encryptshun's time-to-put-up-or-shut-up build thread

[Encryptshun]

I'm excited. My new tires came in today. Tomorrow I get them put on and get the car aligned. Then it's

[urcaptnspeaking]

maybe I missed it but what are the wheel specs...

[Encryptshun]

Enkei RPF1s, 17 x 9.5 +18 front, 18 x 10.5 + 15 rear. I am going to have to run 25mm spacers on the back but the fronts are flush as hell. I got a really good deal on the wheels, so they will do me for now.

[urcaptnspeaking]

dude I think the wheels are sick. I just wanted the SBC ones, which only came in 5 lug from where i was going to order. BUT after seeing this... I like the silver.

Thanks. Okay, I'm confused. Are you saying that your car isn't 5-lug?

^Regarding purchasing Enkei RPF1's. Make SURE they carry the size you want in the colour you want. I ordered 17x9.5 +18 all four in SBC. They were shipped to the shop, I went to pick them up and they turned out to be silver. I asked them what was up and it turned out the sales rep ****ed up. We end up looking through the catalogue and find out that they didn't even have the size I got in SBC. Meh, I was fine with silver though. Function over form!

[urcaptnspeaking]

yeah they only had the 5 lug in the SBC, I have a 4 lug car.

wtf exhaust?

does it reduce to 1/2" before the muffler?

[Solow240sx]

Looks like a great build! Keep the pics coming!!

Previous owner work. It's 2.5" all the way back. It actually sounds pretty good for being a one-off. Fine for stock boost, but I'll put in a 3" when I decide to increase.

Sorry, man. I can't see anything from Photobucket or Imageshack here at work. What were those pics of?

[mrgreeneyes]

i re-looked at the @ss pic of the car... and the exhaust DEF looks like its crush bent to approx 1" at the one point... as in, scary small. my pic has arrows indicating such areas

Hmm. Well, I'm gonna be under it tonight replacing my e-brake cable, so I'll take a measurement. It doesn't look crimped when the pipe is off the car.

[Encryptshun]

Okay, so time to close this one out. Car's as done as I'm going to get it. Next up, for sale! Thanks for watching, folks!

[uraznfriend]

what kind of rear wide fenders is that?i want it

[Encryptshun]

I'm not sure. The overfenders were on the car when I bought it. Fitment is okay, but I'm sure Origin or Version Select make better quality. If you want to buy a kit, start with those companies.

thats one sexy ride... but tint the windows bro
