Lol, air-ride my friend... makes tires disappear when parked

My "it" wheels,... I'm sure you can see where I got my idea from*lol. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v159/stevevr6/1176112112.jpg?t=1200457998 nice saab http://www.juststance.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/image_1300982615_217.jpg

Dear David, I'm so glad you took the time out of your busy schedule to post in my thread. I can't tell you how excited I was to read your insightful and heartwarming comment. Boy, calling my car mexican and hoping clowns would pop out was quite the knee slapper, you're such a funny guy! Unfortunately, I want to remind you that I don't post on CR with the wishful intentions of gaining respect and approval from everyone. Some people here get rather, "butt hurt" and I'm not sure why when the Internet is anything but serious! Oh well, until next time, I hope we can hug it out and become better friends? With best regards, Farkas

I wouldn't risk running those springs.

The answer is 2.

24 License plate tub, and the glass comes without defrost lines, as well as holes for a spoiler... basically a much cleaner looking hatch.

Basically the same as the habor freight jack... I have both.

Figure some of you might get a laugh out of these Video of me using ether to seat the beads on the wheels: http://www.facebook.com/v/624530838537 Video showing pavement and subframe clearance http://www.facebook.com/v/634071049877

Good suspension setups don't ride like shit Doesnt happen... without air it's still a bitch to pop the bead like any other tire. Welll, this is where all my hard work has come in. There have been many issues I had to work out in order to run such a wheel. Normally the ideal offset to run on a MK3 like this is around ET 20 and I'm sitting at ET 5.4 and -4.4 final offset, after adapters. The wheels themselves are what you call a low-disk face and have a super thin mounting pad so shaving the rear pad is out of the question. I ran into a problem with the calipers actually interfering with the back of the wheel so they had to be shaved 3-4mm before they cleared. On top of that, the VR6s were manufactured with a "plus" suspension which had a wider track by about 20mm overall than the 2.0 golfs. I ended up slotting the mounting brackets of my coilovers to allow for an extra half degree of camber to minimize the rubbing in the front. Also, I found that a 195/45 tire was too bulky, so I sourced some 165/50 tires from Europe, which explains why I have a good amount of stretch. Of course the fenders have all been rolled and slightly pulled, but Ive pretty much covered every avenue possible to get these wheels to tuck as much as I can. I completely agree with you on that one.. In fact, I have been talking with someone in Europe that wants to do an even trade for our white hatches but the biggest thing is the cost of shipping to each other... Not cheap by any means. My biggest restraint right now is that although ive been putting work into this car, it's still just a cheap daily. I don't want to dump money into it and everything I have done so far has been on a small budget on purpose. Maybe one day, but not likely any time soon since I have my other car I want to put some money into.

Damn, I was reallllllly building this car with you in mind... and you don't like it? :(

The first and only person, on a mark3, in the world at this point.

Well, let me ask you this. Judging from the pictures, do you think I could run a 225 or even a 195 on those wheels without rubbing? ....That's the benefit of stretching tires Oh, and it's my summer daily.

Tim, thanks for the pointers! To be honest, I just set the D90 on auto and let the camera do the rest. The only thing I rarily mess with is the Manual focus function when I want to focus on something that the camera doesn't exactly understand what I'm trying to do. I also just got a MacBook Pro and don't have Photoshop or anything yet, so best I could do editing them was play with the saturation and color adjustments, which I was kind of going after a de-saturated look with less warmth. I would love to do a better version of the blurring that you did because that's exactly what I want, but again.. no quality editing software yet.

You really are an idiot, aren't you? THEY'RE ALL UNDER THE SAME UMBRELLA COMPANY.

....According to some rep I was left? Took some pictures today, enjoy :thumbup: http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c8/eightsixgts/DSC_0522-1.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c8/eightsixgts/DSC_0518.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c8/eightsixgts/DSC_0533.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c8/eightsixgts/DSC_0526.jpg http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c8/eightsixgts/DSC_0531.jpg

thanks for those reposts from a few pages back, rich.

Don't either of you have other forums to be annoying on?

Virtual legos lol

IIRC 1985 or older?

lol

Are you really saying a fast VR6 isn't out there? I guess this video must be fake... Look at ALL of the cars I own, and have ever owned. It's pretty obvious I don't give two shits about how fast they really are. A simple 100 shot of nitrous on my car would be enough to embarrass you 60-120 on my 15s, and 165/50 tires...just sayin' :gtfo:

What about natural resources?

Hella flush has been buried, "Stance" is still around these days.

The 4AG specs I followed were N2 spec, which were making 200 crank on average. Seeing multiple dynos of cars and other cars in japan running my same setup I expect figures between 170-180 wheel. Formula atlantic versions made 220-230 wheel and there's now a 4AG making 300 N/A.
