Hey Khelwanb, do you have any work done to your front fenders? From that pic it seems like your sitting a lot lower than me. I have hit my fender a few times entering parking lots and it has deterred me from going any lower, i'm running 255/30 up front. Does it look like our cars are at about the same level? I really want to go lower




Looks like your tucking the tire vs. mine being just above the tire

khelawanb

Looks like we have the same tire size and wheel, even though mine says COR. COR made the wheels for 360 forged back when I bought them, and I got it from COR due to the 360 forged drama back then. I think 360 forged make the wheels now, so I'm not sure if that explains the slight offset difference. It does seem as though my wheels tuck in a little. I kinda want to add a spacer to my rear wheel, not sure I need it though. Check out this side angle shot:




BTW. I have no problems with rubbing on my fenders when I drive it on a low setting. My front bumper will rub when pulling into my driveway, bit that's about it

Looks Fantastic!! Good Work!

Thanks for the quick reply, it looks as if my front wheel sits a little further out than yours. I love your stance though, i'm going to get mine lowered a bit more once I get my wheels back on

khelawanb

Thanks bro, and no problem ssonss1

My car will be in the Baltimore Auto Show Feb 10-13. If anyone is going to that be sure to look out for my car. It will be in the Fox Marketing Booth

Will you be there all weekend?

khelawanb

Sat and Sun, but I won't be there all day.

khelawanb -- Random question, but did you have your headlamps wrapped in carbon or did you do the work yourself? I'm looking at going a similar route on my white Crossfire... we have perfect headlamps for that.

khelawanb

Yes, they were wrapped in carbon. Paul lin Igt Automotive did the work for me.

After talking about this wheel earlier in the thread the idea was fixed in my head. Lol!
So I contacted DCT Motorsports, and Ivan was very helpful. He helped me design this wheel that I am very happy with.

Sorry about the bad quality pics. My garage is a little dark.

Kreuzfeuer

You never cease to amaze me with the tastefulness of your mods. I must say, it inspires me to seek the next "above and beyond" mod for my own car, instead of seeking the easy route with what few bolt-ons the aftermarket allows me.

Very, very well-done sir.

khelawanb

Thank you very much for such a great comment

The finished product is always nice! But it's tough finding good people willing to work, that can share the same vision. I am blessed to have honest, hard working people in my corner.

Very well said. It also says a lot about the person all these honest, hard working people are supporting.
Here's to a "Best of Show" sweep for 2011
BTW, whats the situation with the Transmission?

khelawanb

Thanks Carlos

My 7 speed seems to be happy for now, lol! I'll get the 5 speed later on though. Next investment will be a new Quaife Diff. Should be getting that very soon.

Thanks Tom! Hoping to get the car out of the garage and on the road soon. I want to come out there and visit you and Bruce as well. Time to give this motor some action.

The new wheel looks magnificent Brent! Pure car ****. Now you just need to find someone to remake that radio surround in silver CF to match everything else for the finishing touch.

Thanks for posting the article. Your car is top notch and I'm glad you gave us the opportunity to add a part of what makes it stand out from the crowd.

Esleeper

looks awesome man.

Just tell us you have a stated value on your insurance policy. I can't even begin to add up how much you have invested in this baby.

Awesome car and awesome write up. Keep it up.

BlackCard

Yeah yeah- but when you getting the twins?? ;-)

khelawanb

Thanks man , and my insurance (USAA) will cover everything on the car, as long as they can inspect and see that it is in the car, or evidence that it was installed in the car. Good coverage is inportant


I want a motor with the twins, but I'll wait for the price to drop, like they always do.

Sher Judge

Your car is absolutely amazing, words cannot describe it. Congradulations for having one very seriously unique ride. ''55 AMG KOMP motor is an all time Legend''

khelawanb

Thank you Judge. Time to take a break from modding and have fun with her.
