Project Look Fast

[Martin0660]

err, she chose

Goot catch ... if I "chose" they would be Welds ... I didn't really think anyone else made wheels until she showed me ;)

looks great i agree the new wheels will make it

I hope the new power plant will make it. but it should have the right look

Bob, can you give a rundown on wheel size, backspacing ect.? I like the deep dish rears.

LOL, not worried about the $$'s now, and it this one doesent need a brace .... A4LD transmission takes care of rear end protection.

Your wife has great taste

Yeah, she is mostly a keeper, it's really cool she is sort of into cars ;) There is a lot here that's not my style but it's what she wants

Me either ;) Fast delivery for sure.

Fronts are 17 x 9 with 255/40 tires, rear are 17 x 10 with 275/40 tires ... I need to figure the back spacing, all I have are the "offset" number now ... a quick look with a tape measure puts them around 5.5 front and 6.5 rear, but those arent exact. Going to be tight everywhere ;)

Great choice on the wheels, especially with the gray interior. Can't wait to see it with the wheels on and the top down! Are you going to roll those fender lips to squeeze those 10's under there? How much boost are you going to push through this baby??

[Martin0660]

Boost is to be determined. I have several options for short blocks, one a stock compression turbo core, the other has slightly higher compression pistons. Boost will determined on what way I go. The plan is to end up on pump 93 and a little north of 250 rwhp. I'm using an IHI turbo on this one so 15 - 17 ish

Your wifes 4 cylinder is going to be faster than my v8 :( Then again thats not hard to do.

[Terminated]

Gonna be a stick or auto? I think you may have mentioned it before but I don't wanna flip through 16 pages!

[PaxtonShelby]

pretty sure it is an auto

[Martin0660]

Yes, automatic ...

[Martin0660]

Finally started with the go fast(er) part of this. The combo will be a little boost limited, but should be spunky enough at 15 PSI :) it should shake out to an honest 250rwhp.

[yeahloh95]

looks good should feel a little better off boost with more compression

[Martin0660]

This has been on a little hiatus, but back at it tonight. Finally put the new wheels on it, sorry about the picture quality.

[yeahloh95]

Wow that looks really good

[THE BIG KOALA]

Looks really good and the wheels were ao good choice. Is the car at your place now.

[Martin0660]

Thanks guys! Yeah Joe it's home, heading back to the garage now.
