I could use some more power, but you definately need to get a 2way LSD (ATS is the best), car felt pretty good with stock engine and LSD, just need to get some weight off. Found two more pics.

Sweet pics. Those are some pretty aggressive offsets you are runnng. What size tires are you using and how much work did you have to do on the fenders to make everything fit nice?

In the front i am running 255/35/18's and rear 265/35/18's. I only rolled my fenders a little bit, other than that, nothing really. I am still searching for new pics. I really love these wheels, they are light as hell. Thanks for compliments guys.

I rolled all four fenders, not whole a lot just a little bit. I have HKS HyperMax II, fronts are almost at the hardest and rear is middle, you dont want hard all around, you want your rears little softer than the fronts. Hope this helps.
I am searching for turbo kits right now, more poooower.

check out NAperformance.com
they have base turbo kits for less than 2 grand.
if you are mechanically inclined, you can setup your
sc with turbo for less than 2500.

did you roll your fenders yourself or you got your body shop to do it?

nice. in the meantime before you get more horsepower you can use narrower tires. it will be much easier to break loose and in middrift you wont need to clutch kick so much, thats what happens to me. i have stock motor and kaaz 2 way..i use to run 245 tires in the rear, it was pretty tough to do highspeed drifts and keep the car on the right line, so to compensate for the power loss, i am now using 225 on a 9 inch wide tire, i can feel it break loose way more easily and keeping the right line takes less effort. just my opinion/experience, no biggie, just thought it might save u some money in the meantime =)

Thanks for all advise guys, i am thinking about making custom kit and when i do start, of course ill ask you guys.
As for tire size, i have tried different sizes in the rear, 235/35's, 245/35's and 255/35's and 265/35's good thing i have ****load of wheels, all my rear wheels are 18X10. Track had couple of 60mph drift corners and i really liked the way 245/35's did, 255 and 265 were gripping too much, ill start using 265/35 regularly when i get about 350-400HP, but with stock engine and 18X10 in the rear, next time ill use 245/35/18's and i really need to stick to one brand of tires, i liked how Sumitomo's did but no smoking tires, when i put Yokohama ES100's in the rear, i was smoking tires every corner, as you can see, i am really picky about my tires. I still have a lot to learn about characteristics about my car.

Check out http://www.streetdynamics.com/b/frame.htm He's pretty fairly priced.. and in VA too :-)

It was nice to see you at the event... those weren't my ssr's on my car (hence the pathetic offset).

thats cool...yea with the sc's it really matters on which tires you perfer, the sticky, not so sticky, etc...with the 86's and s13's it didnt matter too much since the car was lighter and the effect wasnt that imminent, dont get me wrong good tires were still perferred and used but with the sc using good tires isnt a choice anymore, its a must =)
