Jailbait loves the vert!

Front end dropped on Roadster springs.

Looks a lot lower in person, has a nice rake to it.

I'm thinking she needs a roof rack and some curtains in the rear windows.

I want a 'vert now! are you getting the RS Watanabes?

Why would you need curtains greg? hah.

Post by **AZhitman** » Sat May 23, 2009 6:03 am

I can't justify spending more on the wheels than I spent on the car.

But I would love a set.

No, no, you can't blame yourself. Other way around. Automatics fail at being driven. I hate them so much.

My automagics work just fine. Sheesh......

Update:

Lowered and put on some new wheels:

Will get better pics this coming weekend.

Nice

Needs a roof rack and surf board

Post by **AZ89two4Tsx** » Sun May 31, 2009 4:16 pm

Wait, weren't you selling those wheels?

Post by **MellowZ32** » Sun May 31, 2009 5:09 pm

It definitely needs a nice set of wats or panasports.

Don't like the GAB Sports?

Luvin' those wheels! Between your wagon and Jerry's truck, I'm going nuts by not having anything fun to work on!

Post by **Encryptshun** » Thu Jun 04, 2009 9:12 am

Greg, your garage is cleaner than my kitchen.

I am liking the wheels, but maybe consider having them powdercoated flat charcoal?

Post by **AZhitman** » Thu Jun 04, 2009 9:37 am

Definitely a consideration.

I thought it might be too uch red, but then again, I don't want to drop a load of cash on new wheels just for a color choice.

We shall see... I wanna get her on the road more and hammer out some of the little issues. This winter, she's getting a rebuilt motor with a little more pep.

I'd make sweet love to those GAB's but they're a little too sporty for the wagon IMO.

Post by **AZhitman** » Thu Jun 04, 2009 10:14 am

Yep.

They'll do for now tho.

I was thinking of going to a set of powdercoated steelies with dog-dish caps and wide whitewalls, but the tires are the killer there - Radial wide-whites are $600+ for that car (same as I put on the Roadster). Ugh.

Might go with some Rota RB's later in gunmetal, for the Watanabe look without the $2500 price tag.

Post by **MellowZ32** » Thu Jun 04, 2009 10:30 am

did you tried here for the tires?http://www.whitewallcandystore.com/Specs.asp

Post by **AZhitman** » Thu Jun 04, 2009 10:35 am

Yep.

Hell, they're even MORE expensive. Nearly $800 shipped, plus another $100 to mount and balance on my wheels.

No thanks.

Post by **MellowZ32** » Thu Jun 04, 2009 12:14 pm

damn that's pricey!

the Rotas look good!

Post by **breadbox** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 7:40 am

Nice find. That ratted datto drawing is amazing.

Too bad you didn't live closer man, I would mount and balance those for FREE!.

Post by **Logan76** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 5:12 pm

what brand cordless impact is that greg? Is that the JEGS one? They have one for 100$ I was thinking of getting, but i wanted to talk to someone who owned one first.

p.s.

Sorry for the other night on AIM, I had a question about a Scam for you, because your older and wiser . I had found my answer and I was up sick when I had noticed your message.

Dewalt.

And quit lookin' at my tool.

Post by **AZhitman** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 12:58 pm

"Alice" got new tires today...

The ones I test-fitted in the garage (prior pics) were too tall, and rubbed on everything.

These seem to be better... I'll take her to the DMV on Monday for plates.
