Building all the wrong cars

Spacer spacer.

TE's are still cooler than RGII though.

Yeah, they will need spacers.

FRONT: 16x7.0 4x100 offset +33
REAR: 16x8.0 4x100 offset +42 (super rare in 4x100, never seen another pair in the US, only 2-3 pairs in Japan)

Later, buying 17x8 +30 (Lotus size) and moving the 16x8's up front. I got them cheaper than Advans and would not pass them up.

I would like them tons better in white.

But only if you put the stickers back on after you painted them.

Yeah, I've been thinking of other colors, but I don't want to buy stickers...

You have to do white.
AND YOU HAVE TO put rays stickers back on.
They arent concave, so you cant TELL their real TE's in pictures if their just white.

I was actually considering other colors. IDK yet.

White would be so cool on a silver car.

Oh, I'd also lose all the inside stickers too proving them legit. But don't Volks have castings on the inside and around the edge? It's been awhile since I've really looked at them.

This color would look good on silver. (darker than my paint)

Yes, that WOULD look good. But I think white would look better.

TE's are cool kevin.....but white ones like edgar said, would hit the spot.

Nooooooo white EVER

Lets discuss wings. I currently (until Tuesday) get a great deal on APR. Thoughts on the GTC-300?

as long as its at LEAST as wide as that one, and you mount the stays wider.. on the quarter panels.

can't mount any wider, otherwise I'm mounting on top of the tail lights. I like that width, any shorter would look goofy, and any wider would be too much with OEM aero.

i'd go right with that kev, looks good to my eye, and i normally hate wings on anything

working on bumpsteer corrections. Info I found out so far:

Factory outer tie rod specs:

Large Diameter Taper (Dimension B) : .59"
Length (Dimension F) : 3.74"
Right or Left Hand Threads : RH
Rod End Thread (Dimension A) : M12 - 1.25
Small Diameter Taper (Dimension C) : .49"
Stud Thread Size (Dimension E) : M12 - 1.25
Taper Length (Dimension D) : .59"
Thread Type : Female

AE86 uses the same size taper (Dimensions B, C, and D). Seems like no one uses the same dimension A, most are M14x1.5. So it might be a simple matter of using AE86 parts in a different spherical end and threaded rod. Sounds much simpler than I thought.

S13

Large Diameter Taper (Dimension B) : .61"
Length (Dimension F) : 3.94"
Right or Left Hand Threads : RH
Rod End Thread (Dimension A) : M12 - 1.25
Small Diameter Taper (Dimension C) : .51"
Stud Thread Size (Dimension E) : M12 - 1.25
Taper Length (Dimension D) : .63"
Thread Type : Female

AE86

Large Diameter Taper (Dimension B) : .59"
Length (Dimension F) : 3.31"
Right or Left Hand Threads : RH
Rod End Thread (Dimension A) : M14 - 1.5
Rod End Thread (Dimension E) : M12 x 1.25
Small Diameter Taper (Dimension C) : .49"
Stud Thread Size (Dimension E) : M12 x 1.25
Taper Length (Dimension D) : .57" (close enough to not matter)
Thread Type : Female


Looks like I can bastardize S13 ends and use 86 shanks (part that goes into the hub, no idea on technical name)

Ok, stop talking about suspension geometry. Lets talk about GT wings.


GTC-300 is RAD. That is all. No need to overthink it.
GET IT.

DONE.

BUT make sure you take off the APR stickers on the endplates.
That looks super gross.

Kevin get that wing, done deal!!!

DO IT DO IT!

Getting pretty excited about this car here.

Valve cover has a good shape to it.

THUMBS UP FOR GOOD LOOKING VALVE COVERS.
