Back from the bodyshop..new bumper and 2" wider in the rear :-)
Well...finally after 4 months of not having the car "right" I have it back and I'm happy.
Had issues with the original bodywork done to the car after the 1st accident and the day after we picked it up from the first (piss poor) body shop we got rear ended and the ings+ rear bumper died. Picked up a c-one rear bumper and got to work fitting the wheels. 16x8+0 xxr 002 wheels in the back. Stuck out a good 1-1.5" past the fender. Add 3 degree camber shims. Roll and pull didnt clear it well enough. So widened the rear by 1". All factory sheet metal. Lemme know what ya think. |

What about the front? There's such a huge difference between the front and rear.

I'm not feeling the radical camber and heavy offset in the rear. Dished rears on a front drive car is cheesy, IMO. I had hoped to leave that world behind after I got rid of my Volkswagen but I guess there's a little bit of that scene in every car. Long as you like it though, good.
Car is awesome otherwise. Love the color. I'd have it low on coils and some 16s with cut slicks and some boost to match the aggressive front it's putting up. -C

Surprised there has been less interest in a car that is basically a mini widebody in the rear?

well when you pretty much beg for compliments, it's kind of a turn off?

Na. not looking for compliments. Trust me. I got NONE of those on another site and dont really care. Just figured it was something a little different and people might be interested. So no worries.

I've asked a similar question in another threads: how do you drive this car? Looks like it has 1/4" of travel before the fender hits the tire and maybe 1.5" of travel before rim hits fender. Is there 0" of travel in this car? And it can't be hydraulics since the top picture is of the car in motion...
The OP's car looks driveable. |
