W bodies with the Wrong stock wheels


Recommended Posts

Yup, that sounds about right. The VW forum I'm on I'm amazed at what these people do to those cars.

and then stretch a tire about 3" too narrow over them to give them that oh-so-awesome prolapse look.

Kind of unrelated, and the furthest thing from a w-body, corvette sawblades on a gti

I actually really like that. Vw audi and Wbody is what I love. Gf had one just like it slammed on fat fives but she crashed it and now has an audi tt on fives

The Audi and VW scenes are full of a bunch of wackjobs

Yeah, not everybody does weird/stupid things to their cars...but a lot of the VW crowd are some of the strangest/WTF car enthusiasts out there IMO

Posted

The only things stranger to me are donks and those Japanese guys that have wheels so negatively offset that they're almost horizontal.

I'm not really a fan of the people that drive VW either to be honest, but I really like the cars

Favorite part of that scene is the BBS rims. So beautiful. If I can ever afford them I will have the first grand prix on BBS RS :dance:

Posted

The BBS wheels would look good if the ding bats would put a correct tire size on them...and not have 4 inches of the rim sticking past the tire :facepalm:

Do you have a build thread or some pics of your cressida?

 

some of the 442 is here: http://www.w-body.com/showthread.php/12910-Twin-V6-442!-back-on-track?p=1148700&viewfull=1#post1148700

 

all of my cressida is here (the thread was started as a joke poking fun at a guy talkin about swapping an old VW diesel into a prelude :lol:

 

the original motor was trashed anyways and parts are scarce as hell

^^^you should join TCG man. There are a ton of 3800's there, and a lot of road racing guys

Awesome!

 

you would think so but its a gigantic pain in the ass

 

keep in mind its the early celica supra/ae86/supra suspension....but on a wagon that weighs 3000lbs

 

parts are available but they are expensive and used parts market is nearly nonexistent...

 

some parts on the texas to cali craigslist. the cressida is a huge oddball...damn near anything can be found in japan, australia/nz

 

this thing sucks cause my only option is to completely modify the car

its cheaper for me to convert to a foxbody front suspension and brakes and 8.8 rear when the toyota 7.1" 4.10 axle blows apart.

 

toyota's blow

All the money into the engines.. and no lip taillights :thinking: :lol:

Your car is sweet, another one of the reasons I got into wbody :thumbsup:

Posted

thanks. well most of the $ is goin into the rear engine since its contribution is far greater at the line

we actually have the lip and tails on my shelf, same box for years, i even picked up a chipped pass corner unit for swapping in with the battery kill switch

I can imagine. My buddy has an '86 mx72 wagon that he's modding a bit, he's always complaining that he can't find parts..
