    MKIII Wheel fitment calculator!

    Rob, it's a good start, but it's also missing a lot. Take a look at this one: http://members.cox.net/batdog/misc/offset_calculatorSRNH.xls It's doesn't have anything relative to supra fitment, but it does take into account a lot more. And there's a picture. Out of curiousity, what...

    14' Battery Cable

    I just mean that it seems like a lot of people get caught up with parts of moving the battery. Unless people are doing it differently than me, it's just extending the power wire and mounting the battery somewhere other than in the front, and you need a new ground for it. Are people doing more...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Rolling fenders will give a little more room on the outside, so you can get away with a lower offset than before. So if you had issues with rubbing on the inside, you could use a little spacer and get some more clearance on the inside and still not hit on the outside. I know you aren't having...

    14' Battery Cable

    Is battery relocation really that complicated? I've done it a bunch of times and did it pretty simply, but maybe I'm overlooking some people's concerns. The only thing I didn't do that I should've was put a breaker in the positive line for the battery. But I do have it wired in a way, that if...

    ls2 mkIII

    Depending on funds, I will be doing this soon. It's simple, reliable, makes good power and it's reliable.

    14' Battery Cable

    www.mcmaster.com You want welding cable, 2 gauge should be fine. And you can get any ends or fittings on there. Welding cable is nice because it's very flexible. I've used it on a bunch of cars right and never had any problems with it as long as you use good ends for it.

    TEMS question

    Den, I don't know, but try hooking up the whole system. I've seen weird electronics stuff happen on older japanese cars and they needed a complete circuit to do certain things but would do the other stuff. Like just plug them in and try it. Unless you've gotten it figured out by now...

    Whats the highest speed you have ever gone in the MKIII?(nws)

    I can't believe this many people's speedo's actually still work. My estimated fastest speed was probably top of 4th with 4.3 and 235/40/18s on the car, whatever that works out to. Or maybe a little faster because I think I shifted into 5th. But this was at Pocono Raceway on one of the...

    So is he just not running a front sway bar? Or never turning the wheel enough to realize that they'll hit?

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Flubyux2, are your fenders rolled? That's going to have a lot to do with how stuff is going to fit. But ride height and alignment play into it. And fitting a big tire in the back and making it look good is going to take some work. I was basing those numbers off of what I had fit on my...

    Emission, do you have a side shot of your car? I want to see how it's sitting? Poodles, I agree, super ridiculous wheel fitment isn't good for car that gets driven. But I don't like the way Rajunz car looks. Maybe it's just the way it's sitting or that it looks like too much tire on the...

    Custom widebody and back bumper project.

    If it is, then it's probably just the male piece to make the female mold off of, at least I hope so. That's how I've seen stuff like this be done before. Fit things with styrafoam or whatever, cover it with bondo and get it to take the right shape. Then make female fiberglass mold. Then use...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    So are you saying that the suspension will actually travel and it won't rub. So if you were to drift the car, the tire wouldn't get eaten up by the fender? I really don't see that happening unless you're running way too stiff of a suspension. If you take some more pictures, take some down the...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    All those other cars posted have wheels that fit though. Those 10.5s stick out way too far. Maybe with more camber you can get them to tuck, but your ride height is also too high if you want baller fitment. The fender is sitting on top of the tread, when you should be tucking tire. So get...

    More outside clearance = stick out less.

    It will have 6mm more outside clearance just on the wheel. Then depending on what tires, it's probably going to fit about the same.

    Totally. Someone needs to import them and sell them cheap. If it wouldn't cost like $1600 for front and rears, they would be on by brother's car already. And while they're at it, get the Diana/Godfather, bumpers and sides. The stuff that's supposed to go with the godfather flares, but would...

    Well from the pic, it doesn't look like there's anyway it will clear and give you any suspension travel. And they stick out too far, I think it looks stupid and I"m all about fitting awesome wheels. But I'm also all about driving with awesome wheels. Maybe with some camber, you can get...
