I just think it's stupid to see a car (in fort wayne, this is about all you see) thats maybe worth 600-700 dollars or so, with well over 3-4 grand in suspension work and rims.. but it is not my money, i just think its an eyesore, and VERY distracting.
 


Just saw the pics. Agreed on the terrible fender job, looks like you went to town with a Sawzall. Also, did you spray paint the windows black? How have you not been cited?

This can be closed but forever left open for advice's!:D


I got the lift, the wheels,and thursday the bodyshop will clean and touch up my fender wells and I wil be able to turn even better if not the same as before. how does it turn you ask? not bad actually. should the fenders have been rolled? yes. were they? no. I made the best of it though. I like my car like it is so thanks for letting me post! everyone thinks they are 26's but there only 24's. I'm glad and all but, the rim's aren't big enough still. might get a monte carlo and get 30's. 24's are still small to me lol.
well if this can be closed I can start new threads as this is my permanent name. so all the mods, the other buckshot is my sn. I no longer run that email,one day I will donate like 5 bucks. ok well peace out!
 


I got what I wanted though. I take good care of my car. the engine if it goes is all thats majorly left to do. the trans. was just rebuilt. instead of being negative, how will this affect stuff(?), losers lol.
 
Well, sorry, but I just gotta say that.......ok yea, nevermind, I'm at a loss.

Personally, I don't like the 5th Gen GP's to begin with, but yea....the big wheels just don't do it for me.
Sorry.

Your money and your car, but still....:th_shakinghead2:

Because, name caller...

Bigger, heavier, ugly wheels = more rotating mass on the drivetrain (ie: transmission/axles/hubs) ... which causes premature wear, more stress, and above all...a slower car that handles TONS worse and gets less MPG's as well.

I'd say thats plenty of negative effects. Then you also have the fenders you hacked to kingdom come...and the bumpers.

Care to let on how they HELP? Because I highly doubt wheels that big do nothing but get people to stare...wondering...huh....I wonder what that car would do if you had to make a very fast manuever...oh yeah, it'd probably roll over like a Mitsubishi Montero.
 


Nick, u forgot about brakes taking a sh1t with the unsprung weight is sky high. Meaning, if he needs to slam the brakes, they wont work quite well lol. Seen quite a few donks crashed, most of them caused by insufficient braking.

Axles love donks too.

What does it sound like when a GM axle breaks and the drum hits the ground? "DONK!!!!"

I havent had a problem, the fuel economy is alot different though lol. highway miles are good, in the city sucks. braking umm... that has/hasn't changed slightly but i drive like a grampa anyway without them wheels. simply because I love my car. i will have to have an alignment more often then most. possibly every 6months. tie rods will wear out as well. np will have them changed periodically. the premature wear you were speaking of I will have checked out for kicks and giggles. the transmission was rebuilt before I got them so i'll check on the premature wear.the body shop cleaned up and touched up my fender wells. I mean I dont have four different fender well sizes. they are the same make sense? yeah they are cut but not like to "kingdom come" lol(thank god for diagrams hunh?!). I think it does pretty good, it bounces alot though in the back, I may have stronger springs put in the back. the only drawback is concrete bridges on the highway, all you have to do is slow do3n though.

I'm jacking my own thread but, my car has done this for awhile, before I got wheels even the 20's
How come when I get in the gas the air stops blowing as hard? For instance if it blows a 10 stopped, it blows a 1-2 when in the gas.The fan used to make a loud chirping/(+ the sound you make when you put your finger between your lips lmao I can't think of no other way to explain it, kids make it when playing with matchbox cars) noise when I cut it on but later stopped. Any suggestion's? It :confused: me lol. winter is around the corner so not real worried about recharging it. Well c yall later.

Seriously, I really do not know why people say this and that about that word "troll". I don't understand why there are 'such kinds' in here. when I was a kid, I saw stuffed toys people said were "trolls". When I came here, I read a lot about "trolls" and "trolling".....I wondered what they meant? Now, I'm not anymore interested to find out what or who they are. What ever they do, even in their own discrete, uncanny way, I could care less.
