again you spread misinformation... half the shit you say is right on - the other half is bullshit... you just never shut up.
you can fix it a few ways without paint - even if mr knowsitallyetagain thinks otherwise. the basketball way, i hadn;t heard - but they sell these puffer things and foam things that actually go in the fender and push it back out - the PDR guy at the bodyshop next door to our dealer did my friends on both sides - and u can not tell. i jammed a foam blcok he gave me in mine and left it there - lol the fix is permanent and did not require any paint at all...

I tried it, didn't work. I didn't heat the quarters though. I am sick and fucking tired of you accusing me of spreading misinformation. Sure I am wrong sometimes, but you make it sound like I am wrong all the time. I spread A LOT of good info around. I help A LOT of people out. What do you do around here? As far as I can tell you just bitch at me everytime I may be wrong or not spot on right, fuck around, and occasionally actually contribute something. Maybe you do more then that and I just don't see it because I do not feel the need to pay any attention to you unless you are saying some stupid shit to me.

I guess i'm just feeling kinda emo today! EDIT: I gotta take some pics of my new track set-up. 17x9 +17 MB competitions with 245/45/17 kumho v710's! Hardly "maximum", but definitely a good set-up. The tires are pretty dead though, one track day and they will be corded for sure. I'll have the "maximum" set-up when I get the 275/40/17 hankook z-214's on them! The MB's really impressed me though. I expected them to be a bit on the heavy side, but they weigh 19.2 lbs which is the same as my gram lights. As I recall the FN's weighed a little over 20 lbs. |

The thing is - u tell people things you are "sure" of even when you aren't. The buckle/dent can be removed paintlessly. I help tons of people on this forum in REAL LIFE - I own my own longacre tables and scales, and caster/camber and laser toe - and i tune and fix these cars on an every day basis. If you look - i even AGREE and BACK YOU UP regularly. Its just the last few weeks u post constantly - even when you dont know. For the guy that wants to stagger - these cars dont typically like a lot of F>R stagger... racepar1 is correct about that. These cars do not like to have much rake - so be sure to keep the sidewall height similar.

my friend mentioned to me that the reason why most 240's, if not all, that get the dent is because of the fact that the gas door is on that side.
I'm guessing it's due to the reinforcement the door creates in structure. we stuck a football in there and pumped it up, worked just fine |

235/255-40 Dunlop Direzzas 17x9.5 +7 Origin front fenders - i need either a little more front tire or a little less rear. I am thinking a set of R6's or A6's are in my near future.
i was running 215/45 235/40 but those were too skinny for the big turbo.

255 or 265 is the most i think a 9.5 should see in the front of a s13. and if you go big out back and not up front it makes it push like crazy.
The best my car ever handled on track was - believe it or not - 245's all the way around. The car looked stupid tho. 245's just look strange. car looks awesome with 235/255 but i still liked the non staggered setup better. (they were on a 9 wide tho)

Yes, non-staggered setup will rock more From a practical stand point, not from a 'show' standpoint.. I'll probably go with some r comps in 245/40/17 myself. I'm running azenis 255/40/17s all around right now.

I actually agree completely with racepar1's current tire/wheel setup - they work perfect on a track -
you should try that same setup (any tire u like tho - victoracers, hoosier, a048's whatever) i was super impressed with it and they're tires you can usually get a set used for dirt cheap if you want to just try it out on a track. I got a set of used hoosiers for free a year and a half ago - they were cool (then my buddy used em to drag race and they actually hooked up pretty good for him).

As for your tires... those are tall and your going to have some clearance issues. With the 275/40/17 RA-1's I'm real close to rubbing everywhere and the car is not even that low. The 245/45/17 R6's in the garage are a good .25"+ taller IIRC. |

1 Get a wooden mop handel and cut it off long enough to reach. 2 remove your trunk/hatch pannels 3 Check leangth make sure you can fit it in "its hella tight back there" 4 Tape some raggs on the rounded end and push slowly and easy any harsh movements will distort the metal again. Note:Next time start by streaching your fender out by usein a scissor jack w/a pice of wood in your inside wheel tub then jack then another paice of wood about 6 inches long on the insde of the outter edge.This will help by moving the metal out before you move it up thus not bucklein in.Thats how I did mine but Ive dont lots of body work.Its all by feel.Hope this helps. |

275/40/17's will not come untill the car is VQ powered. I know a guy here on zilvia who is a serious track whore, and an instructor, that wants to go up to 275's from 245's. I trust his assessment very much, but with a kade 275's are simply too much tire for the engine to push.

Ya I have clearenced the apron, front of the fenderwell, pinch weld at the back of the fenderwell, pinch weld at the top of the fenderwell, and the fenders themselves. On top of that all that is set-up to clear my 255/40's on my 17x9 +12's. I don't anticipate any problems there, even though the 245/45's are about 1/4" larger in diameter then my 255/40's. I would rather run 40's, but free tires are good for me.
