Bran808 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Without doing any measurements myself, is it possible to have a +40 in the 9" with 255 without it hitting the struts? My car is a standard GT and trying to avoid modifying it to decrease comfort (already have a modded R32 GT-R, which I used to daily at one point with 265/35/18's and TEIN coilovers, was painful on Sydney's shitty roads and traffic). I don't mind rolling the guards, but would like to avoid any more modification. Yes, I'm after max tyre width under stock guards hehe. Have 275/35 under my R32 on 18x10+20 wheels, still a tad too much stretch for my liking (Hankook Z222 tyres). P.S. those mud flaps work very well visually (and I'm sure practically too). Just to jump in on here to give you a quick answer. It shouldn't be a problem for outer fender clearance.....I'm running a 9.5" +38 with 255/35's and there's still a bit of room to go. I'm fairly certain it would be kind of tight on the inside near the strut though, unless you're already running coilovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help with the correct headlight brackets, and suggestions on fixing a few other areas were very helpful. THANK YOU! -FMIC will be underway this winter with the help of a good friend that is a subie nut and has a fabrication company that many of you bought your alt shrouds from. I'm going to be in touch with the moderators and maybe if theres some demand the potential run of a few more will be made if costs&labor are worth it to him. -Some other cosmetic changes will take place too, I need new side mirrors along with a new windshield. Engine bay might see a few things to be powdercoated. Brembos ate going on this winter or spring. And my wheels setup will be listed for sale too. Less is more approach is going to be happening on the outside,then go bonkers with the engine build. - Thank you all for support as well. I know sitting at a computer you must be like holy shit this guys luck is terrible. Good news is we have a great group of people here and I'm grateful for that. Glad to meet some of you along the journey and progression of the car. It's still just a car but glad I'm OK health wise and I was able to keep her and not be at a complete loss. Thanks again everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2baru Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Right now I'm looking at a k2 lip or a jpcarbon, not really liking the sti styled one but I gotta let the front end grow on me before I make a decision. I waxed it up really good yesterday although the paint is fresh and I love the new good lines when looking g over the front. Miss the scoop already but FMIC will look great tucked in behind now. As for a clear bra I'm not positive if I'll be doing it but that seems to be the best thing to do, I'll wait till spring since she'll be in the garage all winter under a car cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradze Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 fmic? so you gonna get rid of your hood and get a plain legacy hood? i want an LGT hood but i'm not paying $1000 for an unpainted one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2baru Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Bradze my LGT is bent up from pretty bad from my accident http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/time-create-my-new-legacy-again-246176.html I was going to cut the front 1/4 off it and leave that area exposed at shows so people could peak inside to see the bottom mounted turbo after getting a custom header& EFR tucked in there. Since the accident costmetic mods took priority over power for awhile. So I might just use it to prop against the car and write on it with chalk or something to list mods.

bradze Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 oh, didn't know you were in an accident. i hope just bent sheetmetal and plastic. and good idea, but when im asked for a mod list, ill just stick with "zip ties" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
