Well i know i want black rims, but I'm somewhat undecided which would either look good, or which ones would flow with the car that i own. im also deciding on if i should go with all black, black with a machined/color lip. I saw this one model by 5Axis called the X5-F they look alright but dont know if it would look well on my car. Any suggestions would help. heres a pic of my car again for those who havent seen it yet. The bolt pattern is 5x100 and i can fit up to 19" and 20 is cutting it close due to a stupid flange in the center of the back 2 wheel wells http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m266/cjmorton132003/PT5.jpg

well compared to those 13 second cars there is. but anywho, Id do it. just i cant do it that much, only because if i break it. i wouldnt be able to afford fixing it yet.

which ones? the standard? or autos? once mine goes out im probably going to stick a standard in it

I know who he is, we never really talked though.

your secret is safe with me but now it all makes sence....

hmm thats PA this is ohio...... but who knows ill either try and out do that one or by then ill be able to afford my dream car:rolleyes: besided dont you have a neon? or you get rid of it.

ya ill call them again, but last time they said positons were filled.

I wanted to get in the field once i started paying attention to all the different custom designs put on to vehicles back when i was 12. Iv always wanted to get into custom fab but i feel it could use some work on since i am new so i figured id try to start at a position i can do. Ill try and put some pics up of one project i did as my first project. it was a 98 ford ranger with bed side damage and I worked on the truck from start to finish at eastland career center. i did the body work, and paint my self and as i was sketchey on my paint abilities it turned out good. we did get into structural repair both class and shop but they did not embellish on it that much. as a group project we worked on a Jeep Grand Cherokee we replaced the driver side upper frame rail. and was expected to finish the jeep past the paint process. My main downfall on my paint skills is primarily my clear coat. Iv done a few good coats already, but every once in a while ill still lay it to wet or dry.

gotta be honest, dont really know what to say to that one sol. but thanks.

Alright, well I graduated from Lincoln College of Technology(LCT) for collision repair last year in July. Iv tride at every local collision shop and no luck. So if anyone cold help out it would be greatly appreciated. I have a resume with work experience and decent references. Here are some qualities I can provide: Great body work, Decent paint work, I am experienced in TIG and MIG welding. LCT provided every student with the I-CAR process of collision repair. any questions please feel free to ask.

Hahaha wow thats some good stuff. Me personally im getting tired of winter already. I wish my truck was running so i wouldnt have to drive my car. Oh heres a good site to go off of too. http://www.intellicast.com/National/Radar/Current.aspx?animate=true i use this all the time. id say its pretty dang accurate.

I couldnt tell you, im looking up on that right now. there are many similarities between the neon and pt as well as differences. ya shame on me for not doin my homework.

Hey heres a question for all of ya... what do think i should do? keep regular suspension parts on it or throw it on Air ride? Love the idea of air ride to lower it to the ground but im thinkin it wont really help that well for drags or AutoX or what ever other event i might try and run it in. Ill most likely scratch the whole air ride plan and keep it for my ranger, later in life. and put the pt on a racing suspension.

Thanks for the welcomes guys, thought id throw that out. and ya im kinda tight on funds right now. thats what you get workin at fed-ups haha Hey also I graduated from Lincoln College of Technology Last year for collision repair, Kind of looking for a job at some custom shop or anywhere really, I've tried so many places around here I've walked in, called, gave out resumes and still haven't had any luck. So if anyone hears of any openings let me know. I do great body work, I'm a good painter except when it comes to clear coat(need some more practice) and I can weld a little bit. TIG and MIG.

right by polar-a-dice, its 5 lanes wide Oh ya thats right.... now i remember why it was shut down in the first place.

HAHA:asshole: lol lets build a 4 lane drag strip at the old Polaris amphitheater time they do something with that land.

hell ya im up for any race. we need to come up with a way to race 4 wide haha.

Lowering, black 19"s blacked out lights, sideskirts to cover up some rockerpanel damage, and repainted. thats about it for the outside. i got a full kit in mind but im not worried about that yet. PS: is that NTR in your sig? cause i think i saw you at one of the test and tunes.

sounds like a blast. Lmk when your up for it.

thats good to know haha. maybe ill run into ya at NTR or some other tracks.

Ha sure. you might get me though. these cars are pretty heavy. just let me know when and where so i can take out the back seats(they are removeable) haha. but hell, win or lose i love racing just being part of it just gets to me. its like my crack

eh guess i was misinformed

haha thanks, this i believe is at the wheels but not much difference, soon its gonna be in the 300s, when i can afford it.

ya its throwin out about 220HP stock. all thanks to the turbo.

haha I know but every time i go to post pics i always get bashed about it. it gets kind of annoying after while.
