i like the track r's in white also but alot of people have them in white.. you dont sell alot of the black ones.. i like the flush look because you can dump you car.. but i am a fan of lips.. poke is not for everyone.. i know when you first test fitted your wheels stock .. that is what my car looked like when i first put them on.. when i slammed it they tucked.. the rears sit inside the front have poke.. but i do not want to camber anymore.. with my fenders rolled that is the only way i can roll them.. i am lower then scrape_ur_mudz also...

I think my backspace is what was getting me. *shrugs*
2/12 - It snowed in Atlanta for like 6-7 hours. This was about 3.5 hours into it.
Then as I was leaving around 6:30 - I HAD to get home, so I took all the snow off. When I got in the car at first - it was pitch black inside, it was crazy! But, notice the antenna. That's a good bit of snow for GA! :P
So, I filled up my tank today. Tank #2 with the new motor. Almost 30mpgs!
I'm jealous... i've been working so much lately and when i'm working on cars, i have been working on my crx... so i haven't had much time to work on the wagon ...
But seeing what you've been up to is great.. KEEP IT UP!
Good god, I just got done reading through that and that was a quick build! It looks good and you did it right. How does the b16 sound though with the stock airbox? Still got a throaty sound?
It took a little longer than we [Josh and I] expected to find the right header, and that wasn't too far out of my budget. I'm glad it's a good choice! Can't wait to get it put on.
Darren - I'm sure you're wagon will get some love soon, at least your able to work on something! lol.
Alex - I've had the car since July 2008 - just never got around to joining . I finally was able to save up money [and get on the forum regularly to post] then was able to buy a lot of the parts and such. And, honestly, I'm quite lucky it moved so fast. Got some great friends! Anyway - it's still got a nice throaty sound with the stock air box. Sounds good, will most likey sound even better with an aftermarket intake.

I think I'm gonna keep them black for now. I'm sure I'll paint them down later on though.

We got them used from a friend of mine. Those wheels cost about $80 new.
Put the Track R's on today and changed my brakes
The ride height looks kinda crazy, cause it's still stock height - but the wheels look hawt! lol.
Oh ... and my car is filthy from the rain.
im a huge fan of a polished lip and powder coated...
i've always wanted some 16" track-R's.

Less than a gallon before I'd run out!
I'm sure we'll meet up at some point. There is Import Face Off in Commerce, GA March 21st.. that will probably be the next "meet".

Thank you!! And now I can get her low! YES!
Then get a/c put back on, and then finally convert to OBD1 ..once we get an ECU ... and I think plugs. But anyway - I'm excited!

For those of you who don't know, pebbles' wagon used to belong to lil' ghost, and vice versa.
Hehe, yeah, i'll post some pics of it in my thread, just for fun. Can't wait to get it done and start digging into the wagon though
and a great header
