Bigger, flashier wheels, aero, more lower, more camber.

The usual stuff.

That's because your wheels/tires are tiny. Get something bigger with more meat under there and it'll look better while having more clearance.

fudi · 09-10-2008, 07:05 PM

admittadly the wheels are small only 15's but i do like the look of them for now

DisEpyon · 09-10-2008, 08:09 PM

Start by putting a hood on the car, shouldnt be driving around with out it....

and of coarse whats already been said.

SlideWell · 09-10-2008, 08:43 PM

a budget limit might help us help you...

Pank · 09-10-2008, 08:47 PM

i cant really see the wheels that well, but the design looks pretty neat, imho. Paint them silver, the center design is fairly interesting, why hide it in flat black? also, get rid of the blue lip. take a claybar to the whole car and wax it. that, along with freshening up your tail lights (polish, they look a little hazy, may just be the pictures.) will make that a pretty fucking clean little car. Not everyone has to have huge wheels and flashy aero (not that its bad or anything, i love it). Watch some old option or carboy videos and you'll see what i mean.

Simple, mildly modded cars aren't inferior to 240's with 18's and Uras, just a different look.

also, put a hood on it.

fudi · 09-11-2008, 10:23 AM

cheers Pank

as for a budget i dont have one i just keep buying stuff lol

Dumbass double post

Are those Diamond Wheels? I vote for over fenders and wider Diamonds...

fudi · 09-13-2008, 10:02 AM

Diamond wheels ?? never heard of these before any links mate ??

the wheels on it are UK Weller steel wheels 15's from around the early 80's possibly late 70's

Overfenders and wide wheels are wanted though

racepar1 · 09-13-2008, 10:25 AM

Raise the fuckin thing up a bit so it can actually be driven without bottoming both the suspension and chasis on everything, get some 17" wheels and GOOD tires, drive the living hell out of it, put it away wet. Just make it driveable and go out and drive the living piss out of it.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 09-13-2008, 10:28 AM

Raise it?

It needs to go lower.

fudi · 09-13-2008, 02:24 PM

think its roughly about as low as i go christ i ripped the exhaust off driving across my lawn !!! but thats true low not cheating with aero and plastic parts

derek_s13 · 09-14-2008, 12:58 AM

bigger wheels man

tanks13 · 09-14-2008, 01:33 AM

that rear bumper is sick hahahahaha just get some side skirts a front lip and the rear valences and ur set nice car like the colors

derek_s13 · 09-14-2008, 07:43 AM

...the rear bumper's stock.... and he has a lip already..? are you on crack?

fudi, don't sweat stock-body. upsize the wheels man. aggressive stance > aggressive aero.

mcdonis · 09-14-2008, 07:50 AM

the car looks good. needs to be a little lower.

The ROMAN · 09-14-2008, 08:30 AM

Canadian style makes me think of daytime running lights, a duckbill tail, flares, stock front bumper with lip or stateside-style kit (PDM, Andy's Autosport), and clean side skirts.

These "here is some pictures of my car, what should I do next?" threads never go well, and usually serve no purpose other than to show off pictures of a car and fish for comments.
Want to know what people suggest? Look at the picture thread, knowing that people do to their own cars what they may suggest for others.
Better thing to do would be to grow an opinion of your own, based upon what YOU like, not the instructions of 58 thousand strangers.
