Awesome. Now go off and smoke a cig. You sound like you need to relax a bit now.

it dosent look half bad with the rims

nice job bro so what kind of tires are you thinking of buying for them

90crxowner · 09-14-2008, 09:53 PM

Fronts are going to be 205/50/14 BF T/A drag radials and rears will be 205/50/14 probably kumo.

I don't drive the car vary much so tire wear is no problem plus I got the 15" steelies that I'm puting my cutent tires on. Also I'm going to sell the Fat-5s.

**8695Beaters** · 09-14-2008, 10:12 PM

Go for Nitto NT-555Rs for the front and buy some Mickey Thompson skinnies for your rear. If you're going to buy drag tires, you might as well buy something good, no? And you should be able to fit bigger tires under there. My 240 runs 205s and they suck. No grip at all (Nitto Neo Gens. I think tires are half the problem). I'll see how Hoosier slicks help when I find some wheels for them.

Well I want to be able to drive on the road with the mesh rims but get better traction on both the street and strip thats why I decided on the BF drags. I have a friend that got them and they made a huge difference in acceleration.

it don't look too bad with those rims... i woulda stuck with the fat 5's though lol

marcos · 09-15-2008, 08:32 PM

well if you do sell the fat fives dude how much are you looking to get out of them?

**8695Beaters** · 09-15-2008, 08:47 PM

Yeah I know. The MT fronts are meant to have like 0 grip. Put the on your back so you get less drag. I also think the Nitto drag tires are better than BFGs. The Neo gen is more of a street tire than a race tire and mine are really skinny. I wish I had the moeny to get something really good. But I would need to get a job and I can't do that right now because of college.

Well I had some issues with the wastegate arm so I had to pull it all apart again. I cut the arm and welded it at a better angle and it works great now.

Also got bord and decided to go rat-rod style untill I can get tires for my meshes.
There not as bright as the pic makes them look. There victory red.

New pics of my meshes. I've decided to leave them gold for a while.

And the bad one. Only damage to all 4 is this and a little flat spot that can be easily fixed.
