My S13 Widebody - Bolt-on flares & Neg offset 18s

hey all,
 
thought id throw this up cause im pretty pleased the way it turned out. ive spent a load of cash on this and havent been too happy with the work performed by pretty much every workshop that has ever touched it. it could always be lower, but it only has leaky old Tein HRs in it and theyre wound to the bottom with 1 collar removed (helpers still on). It is ~70mm to the front bar, and about 60mm to the exhaust so it is pretty darn low anyway.
 
wheels are 18x9.5 -19 w/ 225/35 Federal ss595 up front, 18x10.5 -24 w/ 235/40 ss595 up back. camber etc was all done by eye for now, and for fitment.
 
i did drift it before i made it so nice, its been off the road for the best part of 1.5-2years now, out of 3.5years worth of ownership! i am seling to pay off debts and buy a house, whilst slowly doing up the GS300. i realised that i would be happy with a low car with angry offset, without needing all the other drift-related shit that this car now has. 
 
let me know what you think, :)

Looks great! :biggthumpup:  Motor specs?

motor i was going to go nuts on but it just didnt happen, ended up selling the parts and going on a holiday!
 
it has an SR20DET with forged pistons and rods, acl bearings, metal h/g, pulsar GTi-R oil pump, Tomei Poncams 256/256 and a T28. plan was for top mount turbo etc but just didnt get there!
makes 260rwhp as is with malpassi regulator and bosch fuel pump.

That's deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep man.

haha 5" front, 6" rear :)

looks good, that color looks awesome with the gold wheels.

thats one of the nicest silvias ive seen in a good while :biggthumpup:

car looks great gl on your GS300.

always nice to get sideways.......nice pics.....

sell it on ebay. has the deepest pockets, and the most amount of eyes to look at it.

You can't be from Australia...you have good fitment.  Are you sure you're from Australia?  It's like a ship yard over there...battle ships every where!!  Haha, looks nice man.  Now go show your mates how to fill up the fenders proper like.

heya man..very very nice s13.. will u be entering it in the next autosalon??
 
btw..im in perth 2.. =)

cheers all. haha el presidente that means alot, i went through numerous wheels and spacers till i was able to buy the right offsets with no spacers! i owe the guys on ziptied and moreso zilvia.net for helping me out with loads of info for my calculations, and advice here and there..!
 
kn_19_ht - crazy, another perth person. do you have a VIP car or...? I was going to enter the silvia with silviawa but they are not entering as a club. i may enter it solo, i am still deciding whether or not i can be bothered! im keen to sell it while it is still 'fresh' and pay off some debts and try and get the GS300 looking as good..!

Yeah just proves that you can do alot when you don't have to pay for an engine swap or a front end like the rest of us over here!

LoL!:biggthumpup:

I completely forgot about that point. 
Basically 3-5k (depending on how you get yours done) being spent on just the car. Now I see why the cars in UK and Japan are so much better than US's lol.

^ it is a bonus having the good engine etc already in there.
 
Perth / Aus is still pretty poor for a lot of parts from Japan though, but online stores etc and brokers that import things from Japan are getting more common these days.

so its not widebody if its only flares...still clean though

nice, i would buy that in a heart beat if you were in the states.

slideshow - thats getting technical, i still count it as widebody cause the bodywork is wider .... it isnt a complete panel it is just a flare but i have still cut the guards out to fit the flares and widened the body. i chose to go the flares to be different from the widebody panels.

well i understand different...i did not mean anything by it. it looks good!

Looks good but the only thing is that how the fender flares just stop and dont flow with the kit or the bumpers... I would fix that if it was my car.  Just my opinion.

Looks pretty sick I love those wheels.

here is the current car:
