Travis, what's that little black button thingy on the A pillar by the gauge? Shift light? NAWS button?

Screw cover/ too soon junior button.

That shifter is my favourite thing of your car. Such rare JDM!

My JDM street cred jumped considerably, IMO.

Just need to upgrade to plexiglass doors so everyone can see that

I realized I haven't updated this for a while, if you want you can follow my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travisonfire18/?hl=en

Honestly not a whole lot has been going on, just driving it all summer and it is now parked for winter.

Not a whole lot happening, I moved again and don't have tools or anything with me. But, I have accumulated some parts! I would say a majority of the pile has been installed.

Fancy new wheel

I took a geeky amount of pictures of the new tires.

These truck tires are 265/75/16. Turns out some manufacturers measure crown to crown and some measure sidewall to sidewall.

Anyways, should fit, might need to trim the rear flares up a bit:

Oh, I forgot to post update on wheels.

They were kinda rough, I didn't have all the money for a full refurb so I got Edmonton Wheel Works to clean up a couple lips and polish the lug barrels.

Hooo baby.

Your wheels cleaned up nice!

Thanks!
The one alone in the picture was the worst of the bunch when you seen them.

Advans, so good.

tperkins · « **Reply #40 on:** May 31, 2018, 09:30:32 am »

Thanks!

Unfortunately the tire shop had an incident with 3 of the 4 wheels, so they're back at edmonton wheel works and I haven't gotten them on the car.

Might be a bit of a pain to fit them, and they may just fit alright. This offset is perfect for this car, like, as though Advan offers this offset for an evo body style that was only available for 3 years perfect.

Either way I am going to raise my suspension about 3/4" - 1" and get an alignment. I have ordered new clips and flare trims if I need to remove the rear flares to trim them.

Yeah man. Get your story time game on.

Guy sucked at his job, the thing that guides the wheel on was set up too close to the rim and took the paint off for 2 of the wheels on the outer lip for like 14". Obviously I was too depressed to take pictures of those, the other one buddy used a knife or a screw driver or something to get the old weights off and scratched the inside of the wheel.

Jeebers, where'd you go? Canadian Tire?

Sounds like a classic Kal tire to me.
