Jacques · 11-13-2010, 08:48 PM

I always wanted to get a race steering wheel, though I like my JDM DC5 MOMO too much to swap it out.

I'm assuming you're not going to install your steering wheel until you have more of the car done, right?

nordic97mist · 11-13-2010, 10:44 PM

yeah the steering wheel is gonna stay in the box and sit in my room. the seats to. still welding on the firewall and there's openings that could allow bug in the car. i'd like to shampoo the carpet and rear seats when the time comes closer to actually putting the interior in for good...its kind of a ways off though

nordic97mist · 11-22-2010, 03:44 PM

a teaser pic....kinda

tom27897 · 11-22-2010, 03:57 PM

staggered wheels?

nordic97mist · 11-22-2010, 10:30 PM

yeah staggered. the specs are 17x8 +45 and 17x9+44. gonna add 10mm spacers to both front and rear for a little more aggressive stance. just not "hellaflush" aggressive

chuitron · 11-23-2010, 03:24 PM

Jacques · 11-24-2010, 05:00 AM

Looks like you need to clean up the inside of those wheels a bit.

igor_adz · 12-24-2010, 02:57 AM

good job on the build, i rebuilt my lude wen i was 18... i just recently bought one of those flux welders from harbor frieght too to weld on a new radiator support and its just not as easy to use as a tig...

nordic97mist · 12-24-2010, 07:01 AM

yeah its a cheap little welder. it does just enough though to do what i need it to do
