Oh even though you're not slammed I do admire the fitment of the 11's in the back.

The offset looks mean I love it, I didn't know a +25 would give me this kinda of poke but I do like it. I literally bought the wheels on random not knowing how the offset would look

Car sits on stock suspension, have no plans on slamming it, coilovers are in the near future and just looking for a mild 1" inch drop just to help eliminate some wheel gap and stiffen up the ride, but fenders are rolled, my suspension having 167k is preety worn so it rubs sometimes in the rear when going over certain terrain

Here's some better shots of the rear

After that drop and a rolling of the fenders your fitment should be spot on.

6/2/15

Small update, when I received the car i later found out the crank pulley was separated, so after a few trips back and forward from the parts store with different serpentine belts was when I found out, so I bought a replacement pulley but it was in terrible shape, rusty and worn out.

So I had it cleaned up a little with a wire wheel and then sprayed it with some vht epoxy paint in satin black

I'm planning on starting the mantience this Thursday so well see how it goes

(pulley after wire wheel)


(after 3 coats of paint)

Nice car, I suggest getting a new genuine or aftermarket pulley, cause you never know how bad this used pulley may be. Dont want to it separate when you are driving!

Not bad. I need to get an aftermarket for my RB as well. I noticed the rubber bushing between the two halves was cracking/dry rotting.

Started to tear out the old timing belt but I noticed the belt didnt look bad at all, so I'm going to keep the one in there for a good while.

Edit: it's put on hold for now, to many things getting in the way, so we'll see when I have time to put this together
