Changing the bolt patern really isn't that bad to do...Which way were you going to do it?

If I order spindles this year I think I'm going to change the patern to 5x144.3 front and rear also.. Way way more wheel options. And my current wheels are 5x100 and 5x 144.3 so I don't need to upgrade yet... Just thinking ahead ya know



Depends.. 5x144.3 would be pretty hard to change to. The hub wouldn't be large enough for that pattern, you would have to weld a new plate on the existing hub and drill that. But I'm sure you meant 114.3... So I'll let it go

My latest rim purchase for my 87GT.

17x7 Fronts 42mm Offset
18x8 Rears 25mm Offset

I assume they'll poke out a little bit in the rear. I don't really mind at all... .

I have those exact same seats but in black, they fit perfectly but are a PITA to move.

Thats a really nice color tho, matching steering wheel and everything, looks very expensive, good purchase.

I dig it.

Console came in !! Amida made this for me, in case you were wondering on where to get one.

Still waiting about 2-3 more weeks for my new wheels to come in, and custom center caps to be made...








The horn button is just sitting on there, I have a horn emblem coming for the middle of that as well to match the wheel caps.

Nice wheels. Was size 18 not available in that offset for the front? For the rear wheels you could flare/ bow the quarters out.

I'm going to cut the rear quarters out. I wanted a staggered fitment for the wheels. I'll be ordering a 19x10 in the same wheel with a 0 offset then the 18's will come up front.

It'll stick out in the rear as well. I'm not worried. Whatever would I do in that situation.....

I was thinking about even widening the 18's to 18x11's and sticking some nice 315's in the rear using helds kit. We'll see.

Yeah it's pretty cold here as well. Suppose to be getting a snow storm here for the next couple of days. The 87 is in my personal garage, where there really isn't much room to work.

I'm going to move a few things around at our bodyshop so that I can move the car there.

Heres a 'brief' shop picture of the room I now have to work with. There is 7200 ft of space..

Street Dreams drop spindles and front / rear coilover kit.

I'll be changing up the springs in the rear though, I want it to sit a bit higher. I mounted the rims tonight, and I must say that they look amazing! I'm not at home though, so I'll post the pictures in a couple hours.

Voila! New rims and tires!

I couldn't obviously get any better pictures with the porsche being so close. Oh well ! A little bit longer wait for the rears.

*I've already sold the previous rims / tires locally.

I think I've posted pictures of the porsche a few pages back... It's an original 64 901 coded as a 65 model 911 due to the law suite from peugot.

Thanks guys! Well you can't really get a good glimpse of them. I'll be waiting a another couple weeks yet for the rears.. But thats what I get for ordering a weird offset .

I'll be painting the lower ground effects all in black, tinting the windows, getting new sail panels (black tinted), adding a little widebody for the rear, decklid scoop (customized 6 pack), and an EVO front hood scoop. Other then that, that would be pretty well it for exterior wise.

Interior obviously the parts you've seen, I'll be finishing my dashboard, guage cluster, HVAC (camaro), new door skins, and I want to do a fiberglass rear panel with enclosed subwoofers. OHH and of course redesign and make my fridge console.. I will never rest that project... hahahah Pocket fridge ftw!

Looks more like a plug in, you got a space heater rigged up on a timer to heat your car in the morning?

It's a block heater, you plug it in and it helps start our cars easier up here in the deadly cold winters.

hahahhahaha. Ohh you guys down south bring a smile to my face!

It keeps the block from freezing. Thats the winter car!

I just fixed a friends fiero, he curbed the rear drivers tierod end bracket right off the subframe! So I welded it up and shes driving straight again. I also refinished his exhaust (It was very rusty, and ghetto)



Thats how she turned out!


My widebody kit should be here soon from england. I'm really looking forward to working with it!

I imported a couple cosworth RS parts from england.... Including a widebody kit.



You guys obviously aren't following me very well !!! LOL

In my signature, theres a blue car (my 84) and a red car (my 87 GT). Both finished renderings.
The 87 features the Escort RS widebody kit modified heavily to fit. I bought the full kit for my Escort, and I'll be installing a modified copy on the fiero.

Take a peek.
