Default My turbo-less widebody '94

I think it's about time I've started a thread for this particular vehicle.

It started it's life as a base model '94 with A/C and no P/S. I bought it as a beater daily driver but ended up keeping just this car. It came with carbon fiber fender flares, KYB AGX w/ H&R springs, RB front and rear sway bars, and a style bar:



After some time I bought a '04 MSM which became my daily and I've started working on this car.


This is what it looked like after body shop was done with it:



Skip a month, I found some time to install the Dapper Lighting 7 Inch Classic V2 Projector Kit:



Skip another couple of months, I've installed Feal 441 coilovers, Wilwood 11" front brakes and M-tuned rear brakes with Carbotech XP-8 all around.

I'll take the clutch and flywheel.

You want me to move this to the correct section?

Ooo, I'll take those 6ULs!

Looks good though. How good are those headlights? I've seen their website just haven't seen many user reviews.

I still need to hook up angel eyes, but it's not so high on a priority list for now. They are damn good though. I've got the 5K version and I can see clearly everywhere. Cutoff is good, high beams are just awesome.

Shitty ones that I'm not going to run on the track. I'm waiting for some 20mm hubcentric spacers right now. Will run those if they come on time.

Get the bronze 15x8 6ULs instead so I can buy them off you later.

Good luck!

Nobody ever suspects that it's widebody. I like that. Do I need a spare trunk lid if I want an APR wing for track or is there a way to make it detachable without creating an aqueduct in my trunk?

Nice man, looks proper. What widebody is that?

Edit: just re-read: AK blister fenders and quarter panels (+30mm I believe)

Those are awesome, i had no idea AK made body parts that didn't look completely outlandish.

Body shop guys spent several days blending everything in and making it all fit together. Fitment was far from perfect but they made it work

Looks yummy. I dislike fender flares a good bit but a widebody looks killer. Can we get a centered, bumper level pic of the front and rear? Want to see the fatness!
