jesse isn't that the super dweebed out mini....looks like it belongs in a start trek convention......no I want a real Cooper-s......it's about the most impractical car for me but I test drove one and DAMN that thing is fast....and corners like a cart racer.....
Man I have no clue , I dont know anything about those death traps hehe :jk: I'm more in to classic cars and Muscle cars. To me that just like you said a go cart that is street legal not really a car lmao! I'm sure they would be a blast to drive and do some powerslides :jet: mabe do a couple jumps at the Bmx track or down at the local rc track :devious:

I should take the cover off the 72 LeMans that we have here in the family. It was completely stripped of all paint and brought back to life. New interior, Vinyl Cordova top and built 350. The engine will need to be freshened up since there's a little bit of blue smoke coming from the left pipe due to an exhaust valve sticking open. She's a beauty. My dad had her since brand new in 1972. I cracked her up in 1988 but was revived in 1999. Only 700+ miles on the engine since finished.
 
here you go 1BadSTi.



the pic is a link and you can get a much higher res one if you need it.
the wheels are 2 piece, not 3, so to widen them you add all the width to the outside. which changes the offset of the wheel by 1/2 of whatever you widened it by, since i went 1.5 inches wider thats roughly 38mm, half of that is 19mm. so my stock et of 38mm changes to an et of 19mm due to the extra width of the outer lip. to get a set of these in stock form in good condition your looking at 6-800. then lips run about 320ish plus shipping from canada. i also had my centers powder coated to match the car to the cost of about 200ish, and had all my bolts custom chromed costing about 50ish at a local shop. those are the cost's for 4 wheels, i have a matching 5th as a spare. the wheels measure 15x8 in total. if your serious about looking for a set, they came stock on 90-92 VW GTi 16V's only. some E30 chassis bmw's had them also, but in a different bolt pattern. they are called RM's. very rare, but worth the trouble for the looks on people faces when they see them in person, pics dont do them justice.

You guys and your imports lol. When it comes to a Classic car you have so many inches back spacing and total width. But on an import you probally have more things as far as clearence struts/Rotors/fenders. By the way Corroado those wheels look tight on that car nice job customizing them to your ride :)

LOL I'm sure you could take me Corrado I know you have lots of money wrapped up in your ride and it weighs about half as much as my car hehe. I bet my motor and tranny almost weighs as much as your entire car. It would be fun to go at it for fun but you can't use the nos ok lol

by the time you get that together ill be running 20+psi of boost on standalone. with everything thats done to the motor it should be laying roughly 350+ (370+ if i do cams by then) to the wheels, plus the nitrous. i still have room to grow if i want some more headwork and a different intake manny. car weights 2850lbs with me in it, un gutted. i think it would be a fun run. :cheers:
 
that little thing would be a rocket sled with those kinda of #'s i bet that Corrado gets with the program right now! what kinda of #'s you running in the 1/4 or have you had a chance.
 
I keep telling him not to do that to my car! He already put a bunch of scratches on it ... DAYUM! at least now I have the proof! lol
