Biting the bullet to go five lug. Headed down to the shop to figure out wheel spacing/size today. I will be using 3 piece BBS wheels. Going to go with racing slicks too.
Starting my GT conversion today fenders, rocker panels, the works. I'm planning to go all Olympic Blue paint with smooth top. While Olympic Blue wasnt the same color as the Porsche Gulf cars I'm thinking of doing similar orange stripe. This should be fun! I'm a goner now! While this car wont be the fastest or the sexiest conversion it should prove to be a good platform for me to learn from. |

Geez Grant....you're as bad as I am......WELCOME! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)
It's been lonely here by myself (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) You're going to need to take most of the camber out of your car once you go slicks, so you're committed as far as that goes. Hoosiers take some negative (small amount) but Goodyear's pretty much go zero or very close. I'm talking bias-ply here. If you're going radial slicks...I'm not familiar with them. Can't wait to see the car out there! Bill P. |
