The front fenders are flared quite a bit. I don't see 20 offset poking out that much. My ROHs are 38, and there was still room to fill out the wheel well more.

To really make the look right, coilovers may be the way to go, especially to eliminate the strut clearance from the bottom of the spring base on the strut.

I'd still run a 245/35 tire. A 225/40 doesn't sound right on an 8.5" wide wheel.

I know someone on here has 255/35/18s on the rear on 18x8s lowered on the same springs as me and has no rubbing issues.

I'd be more impressed with someone that spent the money on just making a GA fast than I would with someone that made a GA RWD. I'd spend that money on building power and then finding a way to get it to the ground.

The rear is rarely the issue, since the fenders flare out so far. It's all about those pesky wheels that turn....

Questions you think are too stupid to ask...

What happened to Sik's Mom ?

Gtomike72 · 11-16-2012, 08:56 AM

We found a replacement for siks mom!

But seriously I do want to do the rwd conversion then possibly the v8 swap

What's your budget and timeframe?

I'd seriously think that it'd be easier to put a GA body on a RWD car.

This is a legit question: How do you put your own videos on the forum? I have one I want to show you guys. Not Youtube videos.

Do you have it uploaded somewhere else already? Photobucket, something like that? Because many of those sites have links to post on forums.

Yes to imageshack, but none of the links directly put it in the thread.

Hm. I haven't really used imageshack, sorry. I know photobucket used to imbed pretty well on here back in the day.

Shade2012 · 11-16-2012, 10:20 AM

hm... I have the embeded code, but not sure what to do with it.

Has anybody that wants a real sleeper ever thought about ricing out a built car? I mean if you have a car with mad stickers and a fart cannon on it no one will take you seriously but when you smoke them it would be hilarious the downside is you would have to drive a riced out car around but the reactions to beating other ppl would be priceless.

but seriously, it would take less fabbing to turn the cabin around, and have a rwd rear engine car

Was looking around at HID sites and searched by bulb type (880) since I'm wanting 3ks for my fogs and this one site came up with a HID kit that was 3k and 25w??

Is there actually HID kits that are 25 watts? Would that makes it less "golden yellow" or more then the 35 wattage kits.

If its actually 25w I would think that would solve the housing/lens melting issue? Would be kinda weird since the factory halogen bulb is 27w.
