I hated the wheels the car had on it when I got it. They were AZUL Sprint5 w/ 205/40R17's. The rims themselves look good & are fairly light 17 lbs or teh 17x7. BUT with the 40 offset & tiny tires it just looked stupid.
I traded PLUS cash for a set of 15" stockers of a '93 w/ 205/55R15's. I had to clean & paint them, but the car looks SO much better now. Not to mention the ride has greatly improved.
Once I get everything straight with the car I will be upgrading. But for right now I can actually look at the car without grinding my teeth.


What they are on now..

 

dam it dose look better with the stock wheels. nice car

 

yeah..it looks better with the stockies


** edit..is that a 180SX front bumper??

 

pignose bumper with sans pig vent thingies...

 

yup it sure looks better. the tires on the 17s were a tad smaller than the stock 15s. so the stock wheels and tires reduced the tire gap by about 1/4" making the car look lower. even though it was actually lover with the 17s.

 

yea looks better...seemed like too much chrome originally but black with black roof and tint is better

 

you mean they sealed the pig??

why?? haha..looks kinda ok

 

i would have cut then off and let in more air to bring down the engine bay temp. no wait i did.


here's what i did

 

Why seal the vents? You didn't see my "re-intro" thread did ya? LOL

The front end was completely trashed. The front bumper split in half. One reason to make it flat was for strength , other was just to give it a bit smoother look. I didn't do it just to do it. There was actually a purpose behind it.


I am still tweaking the front end. I got it all a bit more flush. Had to adjust the hood latch. Took out the lights, bashed on the radiator support some more to get the headlights at the same height. Ya know the typical things you gotta do when the car hits a pole at 40mph.

 

No trouble at all with engine bay temps. Hell it barely runs hot enough to open the thermostat. Electric fans & a 2" thick radiator keep it pretty cool even sitting in the traffic here. Mind you I also DO NOT have the AC hooked up right now)gotta souce a new condenser & some lines...plus a new support.

 

sorry dude..i don't really like this...

maybe if you had a big FMIC behind it or somthing..

 

yeah an inter cooler would look nice, but that's it'd do since i don't plan on turboing it.

 

im sorry...


and Project nice fix..that car was alittle jacked up..good job


***edit..ramos..i have been meaning to ask..why mention that its a SOHC?? if its a KA24E, isn't that a given??

 

It definitely looks a lot better with the stock mine had some 17 on them with some 205/35/r17 so i sold those and got my self some steelies for now till i find the stock alloy wheels... but nice job dude that makes me want them even more... lol

 

not a fan of the bumper but the rims yes.

and Ramos probly mentioned the SOHC KA24E cause it sounds more intimidating than your silly monster truck.
