mrjk77 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 i got a question for you guys. should i spend money on a new exhaust or new wheels? maybe i'll do both, but what do you think i should do first? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 hahaha, which exhaust system are you going with? wheels i think would be nice (ie. GT1s...); but usu if you get wheels, then you gotta get a drop, which i'm not sure if you want to do at the moment or are willing to spend for more suspension mods?

mrjk77 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 i want a borla or spt. damn! haha! why do i have to get a drop? i was going to do suspension/brakes too this summer, so i guess it doesn't matter too much. then after that. stage 3 powahhhhh.

jxjjang Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 i've always felt that even with stock 17 size wheels/tires, aftermarket wheels look a little funny with fender gap. i had 18's and 17's @ stock height but without the drop, it made the car look a bit cheap? i dunno.. just my two cents haha go with an exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjk77 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 damn next time i'm with you guys, i'll have to listen more carefully to your exhausts. jxjjang you have spt? snow has borla i know. i like the quiet stock exhaust though. hmm. i might just check out at tirerack to see what they have, maybe i can get something for cheap. they gotta have something that is better than the stock rims. edit: what do you think about these. http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/enkei_performance/swap/enkei_ekm3_gm_ci3_l.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 those are actually pretty damn nice. theres a website you can preview the rim on the car...it might even be tirerack, I forget, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjk77 Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 yeah its tirerack. it kinda sucks though. i just did a search and they don't look so great on a LGT. well it might look better on an obp (it was a grp or something). i like these too! http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/fastwrx_2046_200476012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rice_rocket Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I go with wheels.. who needs a drop.......I got curious last oil change.. I am now sporting a hogzhaust! Haha.. it sounds really good actually, quiet enough for the cruising etc, and a little growl on low throttle. I like those jdm lights yo... I need to put the lights in my grille and hood scoop! Haha.

mrjk77 Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 LMAO HOGZHAUST. what a ricer! yea i like the rotas a lot. they come in 17x8 which is nice. steve. you can start your own legacy group. "massholes boi ricers" it's suppose to be really nice this weekend so i might just wire the crap up so i can show you how ugly it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katalyst Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 i've always felt that even with stock 17 size wheels/tires, aftermarket wheels look a little funny with fender gap. i had 18's and 17's @ stock height but without the drop, it made the car look a bit cheap? i dunno.. just my two cents haha go with an exhaust yeah like in this pic here http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g63/zag300zx/2009_04_19_OlympusRally_171.jpg or this: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_W28I9cb6jqI/SefFC33GG4I/AAAAAAAAADE/VuNrEMiVP54/s800/DSC00002.JPG the wheel gap is just so exaggerated with aftermarket wheels. it'd look kind of weird riding around all jacked up but the wheels you posted up would look good i think. i'm leaning more towards the rota torques edit: jeff, what else are you running right now? up and dp? a lot of exhausts sound pretty different depending on what you have upstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjk77 Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 screw it. i'm getting wheels. but i'm gonna wait another month or so. i've been looking at all the damn wheel threads on this site and its settled. haha. yeah i gotta find a vendor for the rota torques. in hyper black. dunno if i should get 17x8 or 18x8. i'll let you know if i find a good place to buy them. yeah i'm running a up/dp now. i'm keeping the stock exhaust. i actually like how it doesn't make much noise and i stomp on it and i go flying by you and everyone else on the road. for 1k it's not worth it for me. (watch in 3 months i'll get an spt cbe lol). i'm on stock wheels and suspension. no one said my fender gap looks strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fzanetti Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks Flavio. Have you guys seen the GRP LGT wagon for sale on route 9? i wonder if its a 5mt?

katalyst Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 i'm on stock wheels and suspension. no one said my fender gap looks strange hahaha, yeah i know. it's weird, cause it seems on the stock wheels the wheel gap isn't that bad. but then once you slap on aftermarket wheels, i guess it just upsets the whole exterior aura of the car and the wheel gap seems to jump out at you..... that's what i feel anyway (am i just crazy?!) as for exhaust, you can always hogzhaust like rice_rocket......... what about just axlebacks?

katalyst Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 18x8 looks pretty sweet in the torques i think... example: (iwannasportsedan) http://web.mac.com/mkutzli/iWeb/Site/The%20right%20wheels,%20finally_files/IM000371.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
