Yeah man! Major updates. No idea where the car ended up, but have considered getting back into a DSM at some point. New, new RX-7 is doing great and coming right along.
So...I guess I never updated this...eclipse was parted out about 6 months ago now. It went as a very bare shell to a guy located near me up here, so hopefully it sees another life. If not, oh well, for some reason I didn't have too much of an attachment to that specific car, even after the...
Gotta move on sometime. I can't keep too many cars because I just dont have the room. I now have my evo as a daily and want to get a truck for hauling the cars with. Would be too impractical to have the dsm, evo, truck, and another car. Evo stays the daily because it is much more practical than...
Specs for the above photo are 18x10.5 +15 with a 275/35...also, 17x9 +35 wont stick out any, so they would be fine without flares. If you are wanting flares, go with something similar to the above specs, but be warned they are going to really stick out. You have to give us more than just wanting...
Thanks!Thank you as well!Why hello there, I miss TexasHaha as of now I am keeping it, I am far enough along on the widebody that I will finish it. I just really want to build a rwd v8 turbo car and I can't have multiple projects because of moving so much for the military, so I will have to...
Got the front flare close to how I want it so laid glass on the rearAlso made the front bumper pieceThat's where I'm at right now. Front and rear on this side are nearly done, just have touching up to do and some forming on the front bumper piece so it matches up to the fender...
You will have no issues with the 255s, just rolling of the fenders. I ran 265s with pulled fenders before deciding to go widebody...you would be amazed at what you can fit if you get creative
Damn it, apparently the code changed for flickr pictures -_- and I'm officially irritated so you guys will have to click on the pictures unfortunately. New pictures will be uploaded using photobucket I suppose
And shaping..changed my mind about the front bumper pieceHad to make shelving to store extra parts...still have to park the evo and the wifes car in hereStarted laying down bondo and smoothingYou can get the gist, I have well over 20 hours into this one fender, probably more...
December 29, 2014 - A long overdue update...an actual one (a good one at that, widdeeboodddyyy)It has been way too long since I have made an update on here. So since the last update, I moved from Texas to California for the military. While in California I got my Carbonetics hood and hatch, and...
To make a long story short (I'll post the long story eventually). I got my Carbonetics hood and hatch, my motor let go (or so I thought...), car now has a built 6 bolt and built head, I like my car.Pic3 by Dyesuperman, on Flickr

Because running a +35 all around with a 3mm spacer in the rear (+32) is much more ideal than running something low like a +25 and having them hit the fender all the time. There is no way around rubbing with a +25 on stock body (unless you stretch tire). With a +35 and small spacer (if needed) in...
+35 is your ideal offset with 255s. You may have to run a very small spacer or grind a bit of the knuckle for inner clearance in the rear with 2ga knuckles, it varies. I had no issues with one set of tires and did on another set.
Oh geez, I'm waaaaayyy behind on this....maybe this will hold me over for a bit until I can do updates lolIMG_4477-Edit Two by Dyesuperman

Update...got a dream carFebruary 1, 2014 - Bought a mothaeffin Evo sonAlright alright, don't get too excited. I decided I wanted to pay some bills off so I am selling my M45 and using the extra cash to pay off my credit cards. Originally planned on going with a cheap car but then this popped...
Thanks guys!January 5, 2014 - Demolished lip repair, cracked exhaust manifold, huge exhaust leaks fixedAlrighty..soo..as you may remember, my previous lip got destroyed by a possum. So, I bought another one to replace it...and it lasted two weeks.You've got to be kidding me :barf...
Thank ya, yeah this one was insanely clean and had lots of jdm goodies on it. Loved itThanks!Yeah I can see what you are talking about, they do look a little out of place. And I did have flaps for my car, and after years of not using them I finally put them on :p that comes in a few...
I have the twin scroll setup as well on 27psi and a 7 blade hx35. Ran 11.6@123 (roughly 450awhp). Stock 7 bolt block (145kmiles) with no balance shafts. I'm also on e85 which is better for motors
December 15, 2013 – Wekfest Trip, aka photoshootAlright so we are getting even closer to more exciting things :D I got the car back together just in time to make it to Wekfest in Houston. While there, I met up with Mike Valencia and another guy with an OMGToohotholycrap celica alltrac. This is...
December 8, 2013 – IFO "Best Clean Car," headlight intake, new lugnuts, and 11.6@123 runAlright, so we are getting close to being caught up now. I got the car back together and all was well. I hit 20psi by 3700 with the new setup (and tons of exhaust leaks you will find out soon) and am...
November 30, 2013 – Twin scroll holset setup, -16an radiator setup, fab work, car back running videoCatching up!Alright, good stuff happened. Legit stuff, the stuff of legends...not really. I just got my new turbo setup put on. And here is how it went...Right before coming apartNow this...
October 19-November 15, 2013 – New track times (11.75@124 with video), broken lip, and built 6 bolt block purchasedThanks guys! So the weekend after I ran the [email protected] went back...and this happenedIMG_1382 by Dyesuperman, on FlickrThen thisIMG_1384 by Dyesuperman, on FlickrAnd...
September 28, 2013 Car shipped to me, brake line fixed, new lip, and wheel curbed somehow -_-Alright doing a bit of catch up here, so we are going back in time a bit. I got back from training and had my stash of parts posted previously (redjack racing manifold and s2k cluster mainly). The...
Replacing your feed and return will help but I don't know how much. I spiked 30psi the other night on my setup (one rewired 255) and didn't see very high IDCs. Something is bottle necking the system for sure
Do you still have stock fuel feed and return lines? I only run 1150cc FIC injectors and my IDCs are far lower, like 70% or so. I have -6an feed line and rubber fuel line for the return so that may be a limiting factor for you if you don't?
Fitment on it really was much better than I expected it to be. Mine goes right to the edge and doesn't have any problems around the curve either. I will likely be buying another one to throw on a good bumper (aka one I don't use very often and scrape everywhere lol) for meets and shows
Thanks guys! Duper, Kidtsi on here did my harness. He has ads in the freelancer section I believe.Also, I got bored the other night and made a video. Keep improving my times every time I go out...May go out again this Saturday since the temps are supposed to be lower outside. The new...
Geez, getting all technical on me lol... looks like section width for each tire is 10" and 10.2" so not a big difference in width anyhow, but that would account for the small spacer that I ran before. Regardless, I would hardly say that +32 would be too aggressive ;)
I've ran two different tires with these wheels. First set were 255/35 re11s, current set are 255/35 general exclaims. I may have had to run a 3mm spacer in the rear with the re11s but I can't remember, it's been a year or two since I've had them
Finally got mine on after it sitting in my garage for 2 monthsIMG_3781R by Dyesuperman, on FlickrWho needs front bumper clearance, right?Untitled by Dyesuperman, on FlickrOverall it fit very well, I am very pleased with it for the money. I would buy another one no doubt
HD Lip...I made a how to on here with everything to useAnd as for it not holding up...I plowed snow with mine on, it will hold if you do it right. Just 3M double sided tape for all of mine
