Would you guys be willing to post pics and specs in the Unofficial Rim/Offset thread? It would be most appreciated. I just spent 3 weeks looking at rims and offsets before I finally ordered 295/35's -10.5" for mine and pics and #'s would have helped greatly.

Here are some pics of my car. Got off work too late so I didn't get as many shots as I'd like.

zillinois, I'll post some pics there, no problem.


Before the body kits



After Nismo Body Kits





New pic today

I was torn between the CP-F Tuned and your's Karma. I went with the CP-F because I've always been partial to 5 spoke designs. However, those look pretty damn awesome. Not trying to start a flame contest but the SF Winnings, BBS, etc., have nothing on those.

How did you lower your car, and how far did you go?

Looks absolutly amazing man. I'm going to have to pick up some new tires for my 10.5s soon, so I think im going to go the 295/30/19 and 265/30/19 route. Thanks for the pics.

your nismo front looks different than others i've seen - yours has no line across where the main part of the bumper meets the lip at the bottom
did you mold it or was yours just different? yours looks better IMHO
sorry to hijack thread topic

pp

compare to this one

palepony,
I custom mold the front and side Nismo to get rid of the line. I like Nismo looks a lot but didn't like how there's a line and it looks like an add-on piece. I don't like too many lines on the car, they looks too busy.

Dr. Cold,
The first pics was with the Eibach spring, then I blew the stock struts and have to replace suspension with TEIN basic. The rear is all the way down, the front is about 1" drop.

WOW, WOW, WOW....That car is SICK!!!!

I was thinking about doing something similar, a VS or Nismo lip and maybe sides but NO rear or rear spoiler, looks so DANG clean, but mean.!!!!!! (I am not a fan of big wings and love the clean look).

Stunning!

Looks like you have no rubbing issues. What did you think about all that rubber on the track?

TrzVpr,
These wheels are Racing Hart C4 in 19x9 and 19x10.5. I'm thinking about selling these wheels so if anyone interested, drop me a PM.
In case any of you ask which wheels I'll be getting next, I'm getting a Work VS-XX wheels since I'll be carrying their line at my shop. You can see the wheels at http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/...-xx/vs-xx.html

RedlineZ,
The tires are OK on the track, I don't have that many choices on tires in this size but it's a lot cheaper than P-Zero.
I'm now running TEIN basic with Eibach swaybar. The car is about 1" lowered all around, Eibach sway is set at the stiffest point in front and middle setting in the back.

I dont think there is any reason to replace the racing harts. They look much better than the Works. The RHs are a very unique mesh wheel. The works look like every other mesh wheel out there.
