What wheels are those? They remind me of Boxster wheels but in a 4 bolt pattern. Where did you get them?

the wheels are Revolution Wheels (see vendor section)
17*7 with 205/45's...car needs to be lowered some to make it look better....they fit under stock fenders with no problems if you stick to 205's for tires |

Hmm. . . sounds like the white car is perfect to just put a fuel injected V8 in w/ 930 transmission and go driving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hey 'Chung....make an offer...heck, I can even store it for you (outside, but covered)...might even take payments from you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Brant...no problem...just came to terms with myself that right now in my life I'd never be able to build and finish the white car exactly the way I want to...it was going to take a lot more time and money to get it "perfect"...and then would it ever be??? I think I was also trying to be too "different", with the motor conversion, the fancy FI and ignition.....right now I just want something that I know works, that I know I can just call up a shop or look on-line and purchase if I need to fix it......I'll save the "exotic" and R&D stuff for some other time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) yes it was...then I got this "bright" idea to try to make it extra special and turn it into a "race" car........too many fumes in the garage and wishful thinking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have no budget or even the desire to race or auto-x every darn weekend, let someone else have the car and go down that path..... I could easily throw a stock motor into the white car and drive it, but if I can sell it and recoup my money, I'll be happy...worse case is I take off the "good" parts and sell it as a bare chassis with a cage... they probebly have medication for people like me, but so far no luck in finding it, hahahaha |
