Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming

Sucks about the hub, at least it was an easier fix for the fronts. The wheels look good on the car, tho.

And, on a plus, no cars were hit or damaged today.

No problem. They actually weren't as bad as I expected.

For lugs, you should ask MattD where he got his set last week.

Discount Tire has some decent ones I believe.

Mark, that looks like a PITA!

I'd like to say that I've been spray painting bomber cars since before some of you were born.

Discount Tire, it was about $45 for a full set.

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming

the fronts are on the car now. had to mod the brackets alittle bit and make 1/4" spacers the 1/2" ones were to much and made them sit funny and hit the rotor's.



also put one of the rims on the car to get a good look at the full new set up. It looks bad ass

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming

Looks good, I hope from a distance it doesnt look like those are rubber band tires, since you had to get such small tires. I think you should have gone with 17s max because 18s on such a small car may look odd.

I would have but I have 425.00 into the rims and tires so I could not pass it up. also craigs mini does not look bad with 18's and the same tires on it.
Also a 40 would rub on the inner fenders and throw off the speedo

Re: the evo 3 swap parts are coming

So, I might have missed it but, do you have an approximate date when you are painting the car?
