Hey dattodude and stirlinmag,thank you for your comments,I have this 14x8 wheels w/205-55-14 tires and my plan is to lower the car 2 inches,I guess I will use blocks first to check it out.
I have another tire setup,215 50 13 on 13x7 wheels,maybee 13x8 would work better,but that is the second option,I will try the 14's first.On the front the 14 setup is composed of 14x7
wheels with 195 45 14 tires,all yokohamas AVS intermediate. I contacted a shop(professional spring shop) that will decamber the springs 2 inches for 120 both(60 a piece,us dollars).
Also,as I will try the blocks first,the suspenssion should become firmer than it is right now right?no big worry for tires touching the fender,I hope,or else I will have to use my spring
helpers. Thanks.

245s..man that's cool. Not on a car with back doors though. The engine is apparently close...But I was warned that the builder is busy, and has trouble prioritising his work. The front
end is complete, with the intercooler I got from you fitting nicely in the standard radiator hollow. Got a good grill, trims, front bar, front panel, guards, bonnet etc.. It looks good.
Much better than my old 1200.
But I need the engine back so I can remake the pedal box to suit my clutch master cylinder and have it easily clear the engine.
I'm going to try and get my interior trim done offline, before the paint, so I can assemble the project quickly, after the paint.

I hope it all comes together nicely, I'm sure yours, with all it development work, will be quicker, but mine should do 12s. So long as it kicks most WRXs, the 'datsun difference' is
being achieved.

I managed to fit 195/45-15's in the front that is lowered 2" (shorter springs) but has 210/120Y struts/brakes. On the rear I have 195/50-15's with a pair of thin wheel spacers, and is also
lowered 2" (lowering blocks). The only time I rub is going in reverse down a hill when I hit the brakes and turn. The wheels are ADR 15x6.5 aluminum that are supposed to be Front Wheel
Drive rims, but they fit perfect with my setup. Someday I'll get pics to show this car!

I heard a lot of people in Puerto Rico drop Toyota 3-TC engines (1.8L) in 1200's and that it drops right in pretty easily. A guy I met this weekend says he gets over 400 hp from these
engines w/turbo. I love the A series engines, but it's got me thinking.....
