I like it. Now you just need some brakes to make it stop. We were talking about making the hubs at Findley. These were the set I had maid that I was telling you about.

Looks Sweet!, saw a sqback with flared fenders that could use that beefy look to it. Your fasty looks very aggresize, love it! _________________ I drive my VW or I walk

I like it.
Just enough stretch in the rear so rubbing isn't a big issue.
Have you done any suspension work other than the typical lowering? _________________ Type 3 Fasty |

Thanks for all of the kind words guys. A brake upgrade is on the top of my must do list.... mazda Rx7 turbo stuff is what im thinking of. And as far as supension mods it is very stock 2/3 splines in the front and stock in the back for now. It will never be a super low cuiser but there are some performance mods I would like to try. Stiffer shocks a little lower in the back to help with roll. In the end my aim is to have an agressive german look/jdm tuner style with the punch to back it up all wraped up in glorious patina lol. |

You better not put a big fucking wing on it |
You have to admit: It would be HILARIOUS!
But still: don't do it. |

Ya, me too... Love the look.
I'm challenged with putting 8s on the back and would love to know the tire sizes and wheel offsets at both ends.
Any other mods to make them fit?
