Bob3 Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 James - what are your plans for this thing? Do you plan to finish it and keep it or finish it and sell it or finish it for a customer because it is for sale? :unsure: Lots of questions - huhhh ? . . . P.S. - I LOVE the work you and Victory do! Some day I want to buy a car from you two! :) Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 The plan is to drive it and enjoy, unfortunately busy sometime sucks and you have to sell toys. We will be driving it unfinished with reliable drive train. Yep Ratsun, i would like to strip it to metal and clear it, like an aluminum fighter plane. Slammed with some wheels. Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm lovin it, looking forward to May 1st Quote Link to comment
Ballz Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Got the brake lines, fuel lines and fuel pump in today No wire loom for the red/black wires? And what about the exposed terminals under the car? How come you didn't route the wire over the brake lines to prevent snagging in the future? Just curious. Sorry, but if that was my car, that wiring would annoy the hell out of me. Having worked for a super picky Subaru Performance shop owner. I learned fast that when you post pics of shop work over the inter webs, it portrays the shop and how others perceive your work. 3 Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Those are fuel lines not brake lines, I don't run wire loom till I test fire and make sure everything is working. It won't snag on anything unless he plans in 4x4ing it lol it sits in a pocket about 3 inches higher than the lowest part of the car right there 2 Quote Link to comment
Ballz Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Ok, I thought those were fuel lines. Anyhow, wasn't looking for a smartass answer. Just asked some legit questions. 4 Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I wasn't trying to sound like a smart ass, none of the wiring has been ran honestly I just shoved the wires up into the car so they wouldn't drag on the ground when I set the car down. I usually run all my wires make sure everything is working then I tape stuff up run loom and make it look pretty. 3 Quote Link to comment

jeffball610 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 There's tons of 5 lug options out there for you on the cheap. It all depends on what style you like. XXR has some cheap old school style wheels that look pretty good. Stock wheels from any car built in the last 20 years should have the offset you're looking for and just about any import and Ford should have the proper 5x114.5 lug spacing you need. Unless there's something else I don't know about on your car. All of these are decent looking in my opinion and less than $500 new per set. Unless you're saving up for some special wheels, there's no reason to run some crappy shoes on a nice car. http://www.xxrwheels.com/sportmax_002.shtml http://www.xxrwheels.com/sportmax_941.shtml http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=CE675511438S&wheelMake=Sport+Edition&wheelModel=CE&wheelFinish=Silver+Painted&showRear=no&autoMake=Mitsubishi&autoModel=Eclipse+GSX&autoYear=1995&autoModClar=&filterFinish=All&filterSize=16&filterBrand=All&filterSpecial=false&filterNew=All&filterWeight=All&sort=Price http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findWheelDetail.do?bp=5-114.3*5-4.5*5-4.5%2F5&tc=DRAD16&c=1&rcz=89141&pc=45333&wd=16&rw=&rc=NVLINT http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findWheelDetail.do?bp=5-114.3*5-4.5*5-4.5%2F5&tc=DRAD9&c=1&rcz=89141&pc=22752&wd=16&rw=&rc=NVLINT http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findWheelDetail.do?bp=5-114.3*5-4.5*5-4.5%2F5&tc=DRAD31&c=1&rcz=89141&pc=54231&wd=16&rw=&rc=NVLINT http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findWheelDetail.do?bp=5-114.3*5-4.5*5-4.5%2F5&tc=DRAD33&c=1&rcz=89141&pc=67502&wd=16&rw=&rc=NVLINT http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findWheelDetail.do?bp=5-114.3*5-4.5*5-4.5%2F5&tc=DRAD34&c=1&rcz=89141&pc=67621&wd=16&rw=&rc=NVLINT http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findWheelDetail.do?bp=5-114.3*5-4.5*5-4.5%2F5&tc=KONFOR&c=1&rcz=89141&pc=64481&wd=16&rw=&rc=NVLINT Quote Link to comment
