Well just go and make me look bad haha,

I love the color!!! :thumbsup:

Need more info on the car

[MoonMan]

Ha, yours is looking good!

I've been meaning to start a build thread but haven't consolidated all my pics spread over three computers. I plan on doing it soon though.

The color is Natural Olive. It's a Kia color from a few years back. It's got an LS1, Heidt's 4-link rear and front suspension, Wilwood's, etc.

[Rybar]

Both cars look great, more pics guys! Moonman start a thread :thumbsup:

[maxxom]

How about some side shot pics? I am about to make a 5K + decision and need some examples. It is betweeen the Forgeline, Boze Lateral-G and these Rushforth Rated-X.

[MoonMan]

Here is the only side view I can find. The OP (brownz) has a side view of his sweet Forgelines on the first page of this thread. There is also a thread for a car named Professor that has Lateral G's (http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=35849&highlight=professor).

So you're covered on all 3!

Beautiful car Tim. Maybe the only one out there in that color. I don't like green on cars but your color is excellent. I called Zak at Boze yesterday and will be purchasing the Lateral-G. Zak is looking into Hydro Coating in a carbon fiber finish.

[MoonMan]

Excellent news. Post up some pics when they arrive.

I was able to fit 17x11 wheels, 315 tires on the rear with 5.75inch backspacing, stock tubs but it is a tight fit that requires hammering the seatbelt humps..

[badazz81z28]

Hmmm. DSE told me 5.5" backspace but my rear is 56.250 flange to flange. If they run 5.5" with a 54-3/4", that's not gonna work for me.

Im running 5.5 backspace on 18x12 with DSE rear and quadralink

Ok so if that is true you are 1 3/4" shorter or a extra 7/8" longer on each side so then add that 7/8s on the backspacing of 5.5 backspacing since it would be to far out. That would give you a backspacing of 6.375 and put the outer lip of the rim in the same location DSE would have it if you used their specs

May I ask if your fender lips are rolled or trimmed? Any pics?

no need with a narrowed rear end.

[badazz81z28]

no need with a narrowed rear end.

Check this out Vince, that's why I am so concerned.

[gmbdabest]

Lips are not rolled, i have 1 inch to the inner tub and 1.25 inches to the outer quarter lip. Cant remember exact length of rear but its DSE so they could tell you the correct length.

[gmbdabest]

sorry posted same pic, i can take pics of the rear supension, fenderwells anything you want to see, just let me know.

[badazz81z28]

Please, this whole set-up is spec'd by DSE but of course not going together as I envisioned. Pics would help a ton!

[badazz81z28]

If anyone else can post pics of the wheel lips would be highly appreciated
