2" drop spindles on the front,16" wheels with 50 series tyres fill the guard up pretty quick.Pretty hard to put them in upside down

Can`t lower it any further, scrubs on the front now and the caltracks at the back hit speedbumps.They are hq rims and the offset was supposed to be the same as ek but they could sit in a tad further. Nah havent really had a good run worth videoing yet but theres a test an tune next fri night so I hope to run a bit better. I went the single cam head because this started out as a completely stock na motor with a turbo kit. I upgraded the inlet manifold and afterwards went full house with the rb30, already had the manifold an people are making 600-700 hp with the single cam so I thought thats more than enough for me. In hindsight shoulda started with the twin cam though lol, Too much horsepower is never enough :D

Pretty hard though as I built this car from nothing.

Hey ekturbo, just some normal straight 6 versus V8 bantering, your ride is impressive and don't let anyone tell you any different. We all have "personal" preferences and mine happens to be V8's. didn't mean to offend... 8)
