How about 17x10-25?

And yours isn't low enough.

Does anyone sell a basic rebuild kit for a ka really cheap? I'm looking into rebuilding my ka with eagle rods and new rings and barings, new water pump and timing chain kit.

Alrighty, thank you!

yeah I want my ka to be fresh for next year, I wanted to build the bottom end but I won't have the money this winter once i fix this vert and do the suspension because I start school in april, and that's most important. I'm trying to get as much as i can done by then, to have it drifting this coming spring! :]

because unlike last year with my hatch, my main goal this year is suspension and looks, honestly. I got my ka built, i just wanna do a fresh build on it to make it perfect, then i'll probably get my ecu re tuned for less boost, then when my safc is tune it'll be perfect. Maybe I'll stick to like 10psi, whats that 300hp oh a gt2871r?

Nice work, sir!

Let's make sure you get some coupe doors.

The top assembly really took out a LOT of weight on mine... As well as the glass, window motors, and associated wiring / electronics.

If you can find a set of the knock-off Do-Luck ladder bars, they are the single-most effective mod you can do for the structural stiffness of the vert (aside from a triangulated front strut bar (that ties into the firewall).

Alternatively, make your own. You're handy with a welder - DO WORK.

Stupid question, but coupe and hatch doors are the same right? lol I have two hatch doors for this already.

Both windows and motors are in my car, should I just take them out?

I'm also going to take the back seat brace out, it'll be in the way of the cage when it gets put in, plus its not needed. I wish it wasn't raining today.

This is the look i'm trying to achieve, but a s*** ton lower.

Heres my new line for the fenders. s***s gonna be super tubed. ;D
