Project Blackout: Mrgreeneyes' Coupe Build

[Bumnah]

i reread my printout of the alignment.

its -.01*total toe biased to the driver.

its -.02* "out" on the driverside, and +.01* on the passenger. add those two together to get the combined "-.01*" and youre golden.

that toe bias is my correction for crowned roads.

I doubt it'll make any real difference. The difference is so minor. I'd basically call that 0 toe. 100th of an inch of difference, if you can feel that, you're the man. As long as you like how the car drives, that's all that really matters.

my sweetass cellphone photography skillz SUCK, but whatever.

needs MOAR rear tire :/ damn car, costing me money and stuff....

[tramp_drift240]

there seems to be an odd amount of space between the tire and fenders/quarters.

wtffff

[240lookis]

ya. definitely needs to go lower.18s with a meatier tire will look better as well.

[Kalypso]

looks nice

MGE POSTING AS DOUG:

i TOLD you all that the skinny tires in the rear are only temporary.

im NOT droppin the rear any farther cus i dont need to tuck rear rim and only front tire.

i need either 1) 25-30mm spacers in the rear 2) sweetass 18's with bigger tires. 3) wider rear 17" tires.

all require money. i vote for 18's.

sell me a pair of sweetass 18's, somebody

[fourLUG_hero]

I vote 18's in the rear.

S13's look weird with 17's in the back.

[Gabes13]

ep.i.tom.ic.

[tramp_drift240]

yeah 18s are cool.

20-30mm spacers on a 9/5 +18?

[Dizel01]

I went 18s and now i cant look back.

[mrgreeneyes]

Well, Hell can't have frozen again.... washed/cleaned. and pics. all by myself.

Woah idk how that update slipped by me and everyone else lol..

Hood looks sweet with the lights... pretty much a perfect match color wise.

Can't wait to see the finished hood... Will you be clearing it after or no?

[mrgreeneyes]

nah, just the vinyl will be laid. no clear. clear is for people who care about paint (not me LOL)

my biggest debate is what front/aero to put on/back on... i 90% love my car right now... i may have found someone to get me the 18's for the rear...

and im in talks with a dude from zilvia on some possible vip 18's for the rear. we will see.

[Magnum375 Jr.]

LOL Keegan, we should have just traded hoods. Do you have 2 lips??? If so wanna sell me the stock piggy lip? LOL.

[ZX88]

hows the rubbing up front at full lock your running 215-40s right>?

[mrgreeneyes]

Really? I wasn't sure it actually ran, because, well, it's been hard parked in every picture ever posted. I figured you guys just towed it around on a flatbed and took pictures. Mystery solved.

[Idahos13]

MGE sorry to thread jack but I thought you would be the right guy to ask this question to.I'm thinking about picking up some 002's from a local guy. But what I'm wondering is if I get these will they rub?I have Eibach sportline lowering springs. I have less than a 2 finger gap from tire to fender. My tires right now are 205/55/16's all around. The tires on the rims are: Front 205/55/16 Rears 215/55/16. The rims are +0 all around. I would roll the inner fender lip once I got these.I'm thinking the rears will rub because of tire size. Thanks for your help!Once again sorry for the thread jack.

They won't. But you will look like a cholo having them stick out with your excessive ride height.

[mrgreeneyes]

will rub because of tire size.

205/50/16 is the IDEAL size for 16x8 sportmaxes.

i had falken 912's on mine, but i now run 512's. cheap AWESOME tires. they wear nicely too.

struts and springs wont get you low enough to worry about vertical rubbing.

these will clear fenders FINE.

and its not a threadjack, its a legit question

[Idahos13]

But will I have 4x4 status if they are on?

[mrgreeneyes]

But will I have 4x4 status if they are on?

youll ride high w/out coilovers, period.

if youre getting a sweet deal, get um. then buy coils.

[Idahos13]

Yeah I would like to be slammed but I also like the height that I'm at.400 for the tires rims and lugnuts.

Thanks for your help!
