Nice car. I'm glad I browsed the classics page today. : )

[toast_A4]

looks very clean! - how much did the respray run you?

[shaneco13]

Including body work to remove the rust spots it's probably around a $4k job. I got a rather good deal though, but I still payed out of my arse for it, lol. Definately well worth it though!

[chucka4]

wow, that is so nice, very clean. i love the wheels also.

[maxh2o]

those wheels don't look like the optional speedlines?

[shaneco13]

Nope. They are definately NOT speedlines, haha. Those are equipped with Blizzaks for the winter... They are Keskin KT1's. I am still wanting to try out some Brock B1's on there to see if I dont like them more then the Keskins though. I have always been partial to the B1's or some reason....

What a stunner! Welcome to The Zine.

Brock B1's are my favorite wheel on the B3 chassis...they look really good on the coupes...

I envy your car its really nice, I wanted a coupe for my 20VT conversion but ended up with a B3 90 instead

[deephouse]

Saweeeet. I think i'm gonna go w/ Eibach bilstein too.... i like the tuck. Any rub? Wheel specs?

[shaneco13]

No troubles at all. I believe my set up is a drop of about 1.5". I havent had any rubbing ever. But then again I dont go ballz out a ton either.

Wheels are 17x8.5 et35.
Tires are 225/45/17's

It sits perfect in the front. The rear could probably use about 5-8mm spacers to get it perfectly flush with the fenders, but I dont want to have steering issues so its staying like it is.

I still want to wear some brocks on my car to see how much more or less I like them compared to the Keskins. The Keskins are nice though because they are similar to an OEM look, but are much wider and look a whole lot better, lol.

[deephouse]

17 x 8.5 is bad ass for CQs. I say just keep the Keskins..... do you have the 5x112 conversion or are you still 4x108?

[shaneco13]

4x108...Not enough $ for a conversion. They are also 4x100 though with the dual bolt pattern action, so resale will be slightly easier if I do go that route.

Ya to anyone who is looking at getting new wheels for their CQ: 16's are ok, but 17's really make the car. They fill up the wheel well much more fully than the 16's (used to have a set of AT Italia's in 16x7.5). Granted 17's are slightly heavier, its ok for me at least because its not like my car is uber fast anyways, lol. 8.5 is just a great width too so you can put some 225/45's, or possibly even 235's on depending on the tire.

Nice car. I'm glad I browsed the classics page today. : )

Same! I check it 2-3 times a month if I am lucky, and I'm glad I stopped by today!

[shaneco13]

Next thing I am looking at getting is an RS2 (or replica) bumper. That stock one is probably THE hardes bumper I have ever pulled off in my life
