GSX_TC's Galant VR4 Build Thread #550/2000 (Samara)

[GSX_TC]

Well the day has finally come to where I obtain my dream wheels for this car! I love the fitment this is perfect!! I couldn't be happier with these.

I wanna give a BIG thank you to Mike Collins and Tim Oaster up at FIST racing for installing the Coilovers and always working on my cars, and to Charles Back for giving me a good deal on the BC racing Coilovers, and to my boy Alex Ruiz for hooking me up with the Bridgestone Potenza RE760's and to David and Minh from Garage Nowin for sourcing out these amazing wheels for me.

Very nice!

 

[CutlassJim]

Not my style wheel but they fit the car well. What were the final specs anyway?

 

[GSX_TC]

Thank you. They are 18X8.5 +37

 

[Jesus_Negros]

Wheels look good. Now, lose the pedobear and advan stickers.

And let's see a dyno sheet of the manifold! Still waiting to hear results.

The wheels look great, Mike. No way those are going to clear big brakes without spacers, though.

 

[89Patches]

When ja go'n to swap in dat mad aluminum rod motar & tranny and make some mad jamz on dat mad corn juices man?!?!?

 

[fuel]

the rear wheels almost look like they have positive camber? I think the rear could do with a little more low and negative camber to just tuck the tyre into the fender.

I can't believe I'm saying this.. but that VR-4 is starting to look real nice. Just needs a god damn exhaust system now! (and maybe fix that sagging front bumper too)

 

[ApexHunter]

Looking good Mike!

Eh if they won't clear then I don't mind running spacers and maybe rolling the fenders a bit as well.

Yep good eye Phillip. The entire suspension is way out of whack at the monent after getting the Coilovers installed, Wednesday I'll be getting it all straight. And I too was thinking it needs a bit of negative camber in the rear because it has too much positive camber in the rear at the moment. Wednesday is my only day off this week from the 2nd job so I'll be using my off time to get the suspension setup.

Quoting ApexHunter:
Looking good Mike!



Thanks David!

It's a slow progression because of me wanting to fix the GTR and might be getting into the 2JZ life soon as well. But in time all the parts will all go in the VR4 at once. I still wanna get a curt brown built head to top off that setup, and might ditch the no name brand ram horn manifold and get a top mount quality piece like I always wanted. I'm in no hurry also because I know once the aluminum Rod motor goes in I really gotta limit my long distance driving apparently lol.

I like the look of meisters on a vr4, looks good Mike.

 

[GSX_TC]

Thank you! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[transparentdsm]

car looks great, and im also a giant fan of the rims.

 

[GSX_TC]

Thank you! Yeah these are my dream wheels, you have no idea how long I've been waiting to put these on Samara haha, just never could afford them. Lol

 

[Jesus_Negros]

2JZ life?

 

[GSX_TC]

Yes. Might start playin with those now too.

 

[Jesus_Negros]

Supra's? Or swaps?

Looks good man. Are they hub-centric? Are they s1 2 piece? Are they o-disks? I believe +38 and beyond are o-disk. You have to get some better lug nuts, something open ended. I think your car would look better with out a rear spoiler as well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[GSX_TC]

Thanks, they fit perfectly. They are S1 3-piece, and O-disk yes. I was already planning on getting some nice Work lug nuts. And I hate the wingless look on these cars. Besides, I still have my real oem AMG wing to install. That's also just sitting on my shelf for another day.
