Looks great! From the back view it looks a lot like mine! (same color, same wheel style, same exhaust, hardtop, etc.)

koni shocks on top perch and FM springs....it used to be much lower but with all the shaved weight it sits much higher. oh well.

Just wondering if those tires and wheels would fit a NB that had been lowered about 1" (Tein Basics) with no fender rolling.

dunno exactly where to measure from, but when i line it up to the inside of the inner lip (where the tire mounts against), and then to about the same spot on the other end, it's 8.5" give or take....hard to tell might be 8" but from what i can research they came in 16x8.5 not 16x8. also at 16x7 205s, from what ive been seeing online, look like the bubble out more, not a slight stretch to them. this is news to me, i really wanna know.

Braineack 04-23-2008 07:32 PM

Wheels always measure wider from lip to lip that what the are specified as.

Braineack 04-23-2008 08:52 PM

I like that front lip, looks good.
The mt.n sticker is a nice touch. Though, now that I think about it, we should make you print out a HUGE version of the one at the top of the page and make you install it on the rear window :giggle: Your penance for making us suffer with that ghey logo. Funny, but ghey.

OMG i love boost. seeing 8.2psi on my log so far. Porting the wastegate helped with creep now i just need to grow some balls and take it wot. Tune is much better, changed a few settings and it's almost as good as it was.


funny note: New IC is working great, barely seeing a rise in temps; only 3°F on that 8psi pull to 6k, however, my CLT temps are higher :rofl:

macanha 04-24-2008 02:34 PM
