again same boat lol.

i like the fact that you rarely see the tc105's, and i want to try and not do fender work. which is proving futile.

cant wait to see what you guys do with this new car

 

Aren't there plenty of people here running 17x9.5' rpf1s without rolling their fenders?

 

Not that I have seen yet. Would be nice if I don't have too.

Good Luck Em and STM Crew! This is going to be epic and cant wait to check back in here for updates and pics! Ive been debating dialing down my car and make it back to full street car as well so i can enjoy it everyday. I need to make a decision quick before i start changing some things. GL guys cant wait to see more

 

Ah......you need to at least get that 8 sec pass Joey, then turn it down a notch and make it a street car again!


I am looking forward to seeing the rs in progress, as well as whats in store for the ricer, going back top street form!

 

I'm running RPF1 17x9.5 +18 offset on my IX Just rolled the rear fenders and never had any problems. Just a minor roll.

 

Thanks! What size tires are you using?

I'm currently running 255/40/17 Hankook v12.

 

Yea Im pretty much set on the goal of going 8s before i do anything. Once i get that 8 sec slip, time to dial it down a little bit

 

thats the problem, most wheels arent made in the right offset to really pack a nice wide tire in the wheel well. after a lot of measuring and research, i came to the conclusion that +35 to +38 is the perfect offset for a 9.5" wheel.

 

I ordered two sets of wheels today. One of them just because I wanted to see what they look like on ricer and one for this car. When they come in I will get some pics up.


I have been stuck in the dash of this car all day pulling out the 15lb rats nest of wires. Its almost starting to look stock under there again.

Got a couple pictures of them ripping the dash apart. Forgot to mention the RS has a nice Evo IX interior

You can also find all the photo progress on STM's Facebook!

 

Man I wish i had your camera skills for my build thread. I remember when my RS interior looked like that.

Emery any update on motor/turbo selection for build? Checking daily on progress.

 

None yet. I am still trying to straighten everything out under the dash. I'm about 5 hours in and still have a long way to go. lol
