f**k my life. i just found a set of VS-XX in decent sizes

2x 17x10 -7
4x 17x11 -7

i really wanted 18"s but this is 6 wheels, with good fitment, all in one place. i might have to take out a loan and jump on it. Or get a credit card or something

18s? that's not too big?

 

[somejaykid]

damn getting a cc or loan just to buy some parts for a car is never a good idea just my opinion

sounds about right it just depends on the tune man and how you build the motor

 

[somejaykid]

well browsing throught the auto-x thread and i realize all of the auto-x is held on a weekday not weekend i don't think i can be able to attend one

 

[EGAutoX]

somejaykid i know alot of autox dates honestly are on the weekends. salt creek sports car club has 6 or seven events a year in maywood park always on a Sunday. and tcss usually has them on Saturdays at rt66 dragway in the pit parking lot. most start at 7am usually go to 6pm give or take depending on how many cars actually show up.

the last set of events i know for sure is down in Rantoul Illinois. its on the air base somewhere and from what i hear its a blast because its high speed.

hey guys i was wondering if you guys can help me out on something? i Just bought a lip for my car and i have a 99 coupe and the lip is suppose to fit a 99-00 but it doesnt fit mine, its too short. So i dont know what to do, some one told me its suppose to be like that and you have to stretch it, but i think there wrong. Help!

 

[ryanM]

18s? that's not too big?

lol no, its not a civic.

if its an oem lip you shouldnt have to.

if its an ebay lip, send it back....

 

[hkt03]

For some reason 18s seem too big for a 240 with a purpose.. unless you're hard parking often haha

 

[ryanM]

? its not a race car, its a drift car.

 

[tonyM]

what all is done to make it a "drift" car?

Its almost like if I put gravel spec coilovers on my car and called it a rally car.

Im just curious.

 

[ryanM]

umm, it is drifted.

i think thats what makes it a drift car.

 

[tonyM]

I guess, if thats the definition. but to be devils advocate, i can drift my car, but i'd never call it one.

so in your eyes, that means I have a rally car....cool


and relax homie, im bustin yer chops
