just called you a cheater in my other post...still mean it...12j...what offset?

hopefully -20 lol

don't mean to jock your style but i need equips too...fell in love with them when i first saw 'em in like '02...i actually bought a set but sold them...they weren't the right size anyways...what are you thinkin' for the front?  10j or 11j

10j 12j
im trying to get shawns, working hard at it

^^^ if you got those wheels it would look so sick. Either way you are going to need new rims for this beast.

yeah, now volks are out of the question.

Werd....

you gonna pinku frake the flares too?

good choice on the flares, grant isn't so crazy afterall. =)

i need some of those!

i got super duper lucky and got htem for 80 bucks for the set
Im going to cut out my fenders, and mold them on.

wow lucky you! for some reason cool lexus parts don't show up very often here in KY! wonder why....

DAMN....that would be so much easier.  Do they make these for ucf30's?  nice flares...

looks good. but whyd you toss the idea of stock body and mad camborz? because you can still yield super deep dish with extreme camber.
Charley

That car is gonna own when it's done.  Are you going to repaint the whole thing or just 
do a major blend job?  It's gotta be hard to match the frake just right with the rest of the car.  Either way I cant wait to see it done.

 well, i cant go much more extreme
I am already at 10j -30 with max camber at both the bolt adjustment, and the camber arm only has one lock nut on it
 
i already wear thruogh sidewalls before tire, so more camber, itsnt beneficial at this point for saefty sake (yeah i said it, even i draw the line)

its going to be a few months before i takle the flare job
the whole car will be resprayed either blue or black. not sure what i want yet
 
but i am gettign new FRP fenders and molding hte flares on to them, and reinforcing the frp fender lik a ton for the fender mirrors, since htey take so much wind.
 
its not going to be a fast process at all, but it will be done correctly this time

damn !!@!@!@!  too bad they didnt come in when you was getting ready to paint .. all good paint them black for now and toss them suckers on , mold later ;P

lol
not htat easy
i have to get rid of fender material
 
alot of it to fit big wheels

lol. too funny. well, it will definately turn heads when done.
Charley

those look nice... i hope things work out better this go round.

are you going to counter sink sheet medal screws and glass them or use fusor?  what are the details...

i should have used glass 
:koolaidwall:

plan is some heavy duty panel bondwith a SMALL (maybe 1 inch) of the sheet metal bent outwards and flush, but befor ei mount the flare, use some sheetmeral, and weld up all the empty space under the fender from cutting and bending out for clearance. Then panel bond the flares on, then glass mat, then bondo, then sprayable filler, then paint.

are you going to glass the flare to metal or scuff up the paint with 40 grit d/a?  and i would glass the flares to the body, then couple skim coats on bondo...

after panel bond is set, i wil do it to metal with Kitty hair (shredded glass) then bondo, then finish.
 
its not the first time i have done it, but its entirely to cold to do it

i didn't mean "i would glass the flares to the body"  i meant, i would use fiberglass filler to build, then skin coat on bondo on top of that...
 
my bad...

yeah, i think we are on the same page lol

Actually If you add those then you have to start all over again ... fawk ... new wheels and adjusting then paint ... 


WOW alot of work its like starting a new project ..

pretty much
i have to redo almost everything.
its not just a simple bolt on task like with a drift car.

easy for me I wouldn't rock then until I was ready ... 

Enjoy your set up for like 6 months at least .. then again you change wheels like 2 times a month lol so this might be something you are waiting on doing ...

what kind of welder do you have?  not sure what the power sources are in japan but here, i used a 110V snap-on welder and even with the heat setting on hi, i still had birdshit welds...my house in kinda ghetto too so the breaker would trip after a couple tacks...i heard the millermatic 110V isn't too bad but when i move back to cali, definitely gonna get me a millermatic 210...
 
and don't forget that etching primer!

100v japanese high.low adjsutable feed welder
 
Doesnt have to be pretty, that is what a grinder is for bro!

Yeah, at lesast its under the fender wells...some rubberized undercoating will help hide it too...having a nice welder that's set up right makes a job 10x easier and look cleaner without all the extra grinding...I hate grinding under those wheel wells...

yeah, not fun at all. BUT i got it from a friend for a friend price, so its worth it

I use a 110 Lincoln Electric Mig from the 80's and it gets freakin hot!  I can lay down some super welds with it, but not when my breaker was on the fritz.  I could here it bogging down and the welds came out worse then boom!  breaker switched off.  I'm sure if you got that fixed then it would work a million times better.
