got the wheels mounted (pictures)
too much of a wheel gap for me, however, i do like them. the stock -se springs are on there, i plan to swap over my eibach springs within the next week. if those dont do it, im looking into coilovers. if the eibachs drop them an inch like they should, ill be happy.
also, the tire is reallly really close to the spring. can i use spacers? the offset is 42mm and the tires are 205 width, i dont see why they are that close.. oh well.
also, forgive the flat tire, that rim needs to be fixed, but that should be within the next week as well.

for some reason that looks photochopped. Im not saying it is not at all. But either because im sick, or just because, those rims look photoed on. I like em thou. what type and size are they?

No they are suposed to sit close to the springs, it will be even close w/ the prokit. In fact, you very well may need spacers w/ the prokit, cause they are slightly wider slightly lower on the spring than the stock are.
You wont need coilovers unless you want to waste lots of money. this is what an eibach kit looks like:

What is that under your hood!?!?!!? Well i guess you don't have a hood, but where your hood would be.
The rims look great, what size are they now? The profile on your tire looks pretty small, what size are the tires?

i know the whole car is dirty, maybe when its done ill wash the engine bay... but right now theres just way to much open stuff for that.
iotus - i love the way that looks. your car has always been one of my favorites on here. i have the prokit of my current car and it sits at a pretty good height. ill try it out.

can i get another shot of that randy? i didnt like putting the starion intercooler out so far, but it was the only "good" way to mount it.
hows your car doing? have you made it out the track anymore?
are you at a dyno? if not, have you dyno'd it?

Well heck, I thought that was a one of the big NPR's.
I will try and find some pics of my NPR install.
Fitting a starion up in there shouldn't be to hard, for it's size those are some damn good ic's. I ran one in my mustang for about a year.
Here is a pic from when I had a gn ic in the rx7.
The npr is in the same place, but it is about the same hieght as the radiator and just wide enough for the inlet/outet to clear the sides.
