dread1 · 02-03-2010, 01:21 PM

awwwww man I was so looking forward for a pic. how do you not have a camera? I swear everythgin has a camera in it nowadays. People are activeley taking pictures of other cameras.... haha seriously tho cant wait to see them.

SloPoke · 02-03-2010, 04:59 PM

Hopefully this works. Sorry about the dirty car I'll post others once the car is clean.

ulrichd · 02-03-2010, 05:02 PM

Wow they look huge. Looks like the front could use more tire.

ulrichd · 02-03-2010, 05:14 PM

Sorry but it was screaming for a drop.

SloPoke · 02-03-2010, 05:20 PM

Its on stock suspension right now. Eibach pros will be coming very soon.

Feyd · 02-03-2010, 05:28 PM

could be the narrow tire, but that front looks pretty agressive.

Looks good though. It'll look really good when you get it dropped.

1013mm · 02-03-2010, 05:31 PM

235 and 255 would have been better, but its alright.

SloPoke · 02-03-2010, 06:06 PM

Wow. I guess I drop makes a huge difference in perception. This is the same setup on the front that many other are running and I haven't seen complaints before.

SloPoke · 02-03-2010, 06:07 PM

* a drop

1013mm · 02-03-2010, 06:33 PM

yes a drop makes a real big diff.

larryn · 02-03-2010, 06:45 PM

Nice wheels! Congrats. Agree on the drop...

Is that a Factory 5 Mk3? Their facility isn't far from me. That looks awesome too! What's it powered with? a 302?

Looks like this one (except with one roll hoop):

dread1 · 02-03-2010, 06:51 PM

oh sweet baby jesus that looks amazing. tires look a bit streched, is done this for clearance reasons? But damn good choice

p.s. your cobra has the word hate in its plate.. on purpose?

Sorry about the tease

nice

SloPoke · 02-03-2010, 06:55 PM

Yeah it's a FF roadster. 351 Windsor. Didn't go with the whole donor car concept. Went all new.

O BYNOE · 02-03-2010, 07:58 PM

Any rubbing?

KingOfJericho · 02-03-2010, 08:17 PM

Looks awesome! Does your driveway have an incline? If so, that might be why the front looks slightly higher.. Although in stock form it's higher as well but it's not as noticeable when there is more rubber between the wheel and the arch. IMHO I think it looks perfect but parking at certain angles can lead to somewhat deceiving photographs.

+1

I think we need some pics of it out on the road and at some different angles.

SloPoke · 02-03-2010, 08:50 PM

Yeah my driveway is an incline. I'll get some better angles when I wash it to take new pics.

VERY nice car, and must be a beast to drive. They're about 15 minutes from my house.

SloPoke · 02-03-2010, 09:06 PM

Flew up there to the factory to order it. As far as the plate goes, I never saw the hate until now.

No rubbing on the tires.

Funny, that's the first thing I noticed as well. I spent about 3 minutes trying to decipher the second half but now I feel better that it has no significance.
