gengar.Haha no. It's a good 3-4 inches lower, bigger fatter wheels, the whole car is now red (see above picture) custom exhaust, control arms with -7 degrees of rear camber, pulled fenders, smoked all the lights, tinted it, tuned it, and have new tail lights on the way.
what suspension are you running? and what specs are your wheels to accommodate -7 degrees camber?
car looks great by the way, I'm slowly becoming a fan of VW

Granite_StateI see 0 camber in those pics, are those old?
Besides the tint and smoked lights looks good.
St coilovers, my wheels are 18x8.5 et35. It sits kind of sunk right now but getting a smaller offset with my next set of wheels to space it out with the camber.
Pics are old. They were before I bought adjustable control arms to get rid of all the rubbing in the rear

nice, looks good. when I was static I had KWs on the mazda which are very similar. I now live the bagged life and won't look back, but I do miss driving slammed.
making a guess as to your next set of wheels... BBS RS?

Thanks!
Haha but nah, as cool as they are, I'm so sick of seeing rs's on gtis
Yeah it really is. Bought it from a fellow Porsche Club member about 3 years ago who lived in Illinois and the dude was nuts about maintenance. He had a Corvette Stingray that he had as well and stored the 911 on the top of a rack above the Stingray. These 911s are notorious for oil leaks and this guy made sure every single possible place it could leak from, was sealed.
It only has 109k original miles. Original paint is flawless as well as the interior. Looks almost brand new honestly. Plus it's a blast to drive
taj.I'm just happy the front airdam/lip is all good. That's what makes or breaks these cars. Shit is way too expensive
Yeah luckily the only major component I replaced on my 240 was the MAF and had to get a used one because a new one was pricey, or at least from what I recall. I miss the damn thing, my CRV is boring and has no sense of fun in it so I have to make it fun but I might flip it trying to hard.
gengar.those are sick but you paid $200 for lug nuts
haha i paid 200$ for quality shit. regardless of if they were stancenation or not. They are made by 326 power. Titanium lugs are about 300+ and these are just as light.

Were talking a $500+ piece of plastic here lol, not a $20 maf sensor
DavinOkay bud....they were even torqued to 80lbs. I've built full motors I know how to put a lug not on.
I've been running $60 lugs for three seasons now, never had one loosen on me. Torqued to 100 ft/lbs. Only time I ever actually had one of my lugs come loose was with a set of Work lugs I had a while back.
I mean if you really want the "weight reduction" from Stancenation lug nuts then by all means go for it, but you could have spent that money on some more lows to be featured on SN, maybe get a set for free

plyswthsqrrlsI'm sure you're being sarcastic, I just can't imagine why. What do you have against stancenation?
Nothing just the fact that kids actually try getting on stancenation when most of the cars they post are very similar... Have you been featured? A few kids from my area have but mostly the famous 'Wobbie' e30 and 2002

Being featured on SN is pretty tough to do, only feature I have of my car is up on StanceIsEverything. If your car ends up on StanceNation you know you're doing something right
Well stance as you see fit, but we had more fun with these.
Sadly my jeep has been sold outside the family and the ugly blazer is now deceased due to its ancient transmission shitting the bed.
I was feeling nostalgic about these beasts. This trip through canyonlands felt like a Top Gear cheap 4x4 challenge. None of these cars cost more than $3500 and one was free.

I by no means bought them to get featuredor scene points. They're a nice set of lugs made by someone who is known for quality (326 power). I support the shit out of stance nation for the fact that everything on their site is original. I am not going for a stance look on my car. In 2 years hopefully it will be a gutted track car.
If I wanted "scene points" I'd buy a fucking mk3 and put it on bags...

Besides ruining your car yes. I'm sure id be hyped even though I only like a certain amount of stance on certain cars

If someone has a stanced car, it doesn't mean it is ruined, or the car cant function as a normal car does. just because you don't like something doesn't mean its wrong

Ruined in the sense that it scrapes all over the place and oil pans are your monthly purchase, unless its bagged.
Should I do a full exhaust and upgrade the intercooler on my fiesta which is what I drive everyday? Right now it has the factory 5 year/50,000 mile powertrain warranty which I could run in to some problems with modifications. As of now I have an accessport and intake which I can easily revert back to stock.
Or should I save some money/sell some shit I have, buy a beater miata with a decent motor and turbo it? I've been doing a little research and from what I understand this can be had for ~$10k. Car, FM2 turbo kit, megasquirt, injectors, clutch and exhaust.
The money isn't a big deal but obviously it'll be very much cheaper to go the fiesta route, but the piece of mind of having a car I can just beat the shit out of and not care what happens would be cool. Plus RWD.

This is the option I would do, it is cheaper and you can do better stuff with the money you save such as skiing.
anyone own an m3? I'm looking into selling my slow subaru and buying a new car midway through the summer, and I am looking at m3s. How are they in the snow? Is the rwd alright if you get really good snow tires?

Buy a Miata, but put the money into suspension rather then turbo

for a cheap rwd car get a volvo 240 cheap and reliable...or a miata
cant remember if ive posted in this thread before but heres my daily. believe it ive never gotten stuck in the winter even after sitting outside in BC storms over night.

I just said fuck it. Maybe sometime in the future but right now I'd rather save my keesh. I ended up buying an intercooler from cobb and with their 10% military discount it's a way cheaper option. In a month or two I'll get a downpipe from them so I can run their stage 3 maps and that should do it for a while.

JakeSmithDoes it have a turbo swap? It looks clean as fuck
In Canada (not sure where you are from) were allowed to import cars 15 years or older from japan so it's actually a legit 1999 gf8 with the ej205. It has a few bolt ins and tune and puts down just under 300hp to the wheels.
