RE: My build thread - MuskokaZX3 - 07-10-2011
Looks good Leo... What's the offset? And ne spacers behind those suckers?
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 07-10-2011
no spacer, it is 25 offset
RE: My build thread - MuskokaZX3 - 07-10-2011
I don't think you'll need more than 5mm once u get ur fenders on
RE: My build thread - Mystake - 07-11-2011
could you post a pic from directly behind the car so we can see how far the wheels stick out from behind??

front might not need more than 5mm spacer but rear needs more.
but instead using hubcentric spacer, i will take it to machine shop and make axle spacer.

Sucks about the center cap as well!!! s**t happens... Gotta be something you can do to protect them from rock chips?
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 07-12-2011
but it shouldnt chipped off that easy.
all i drove was on 427 for 40 mins total and local for 20 mins.
i blame on their paint job.
they didnt prep the surface before paint.
i see no primer and no clearcoat after. it was just thin layer of white coat.

This looks really nice imo and I love the rims too.
@Muskoka I think the front and rears are same offset
RE: My build thread - MuskokaZX3 - 07-14-2011
^^^ Ur correct good job!!! Except the rears sit in way further than the fronts do!! That's y the rear needs larger spacers... Nothing to do with the rims themselves!!!
RE: My build thread - ANTHONYD - 07-15-2011
Something tells me the rest of the rims are going to flake away then.
You may want to march those back in and get em' done correctly.

If the centre caps are plastic - he might get lucky with the rest of the rim.
If they didn't put that extender or elastizor or whatever in the paint for the plastic, for sure it will flake off easily. Might just be a matter of getting new ones or these repainted.
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-18-2011
not perfect but done this

tmrw, i m going to get my exhaust get extended 13" longer or i might just get straight pipe without resonator if that cost less.
RE: My build thread - moon111 - 08-18-2011
Did you make or buy that? Looks good! What about if the gauge bezels were black as well?
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-18-2011
made it, i didnt have color choice for boost gauge. aem comes with black ring but not sure which color to go with yet.
RE: My build thread - hardk0re - 08-18-2011
I like the silver ring, sort of matches the svt hvac's.
RE: My build thread - konafocuswrc - 08-19-2011
went to zoro mufflers in mississauga,i coulnt believe how cheap they were, in good way.
went in there, show them what i got, quoted me only $100 to install flexpipe, extend 13" more and install onto my car, all for $100.
they know what they are doing and was very quick, in and out 45 mins.
most of local exhaust shops quoted me around $120, only to extend pipe.

Yup, they fixed me up quick and cheap as well. My exhaust is still nice and quiet after 1 year. I am very pleased with their service.
