The wheels are 15x7 with a zero offset. I have 310 lower arms and struts. Everything seemed to work fine with the stock suspension, but once I put on the 310 bits the wheel scrubs "when turning" on the footwell. I should have clarified that point, I'm sorry. In the straight and with gentle turning there is no scrub at all, but there is definitely scrub in a heavy turn near full lock.

I think I'm going to go ahead and modify the footwell the small bit to fit the tire size, but I'll avoid the hammer as the car deserves a bit of class

Is that true can u really fix it with a hammer. Can it do more damage then good??

The wheel? What are you runinng 22 inch wheels?

If the tire scrubs, that is a common problem. You can fix it withough cutting/bashing.

That's a common problem. Other fix is a really big hammer

So ran into a small problem here and wonder what I should do. I'm running 15x7 wheels with 0 offset and 195/50R15 tires all the way around. Already planned on flaring the fenders and rear to make it all fit. Truth be told, the front fenders were mangled a bit to begin with, so don' feel bad about cutting and welding on the bits I need to get it right. PLus the rear is in need of help, so flaring the back as well.

The problem is that the wheel scrubs a little on the footwell. I anticipated this, but not to this extent. I have the fenders off and could cut the floor section and push it back, but I want an opinion before I start in. I won't really be moving more than about 10-15cm to gain the clearince I need. It really is only the corner of the footwell so I don't think this is a big deal, but there are other options I suppose.

Would look good, but I think you'll all think it was wise to not take the green into everything when I'm done. Sometimes the car color can go too far and detract from the theme. (Plus I'm lazy and don't want to take the covers off)

Great job so far! .....one suggestion .... colour code the cam covers to the same green .... it will look the goods

I can only think of one in the US... but wait, that was a sedan.

After tonight, there's not one reason to stop until I'm done. I got busy putting the suspension in and decided to go ahead and install the motor and transmission too. I never did get the suspension fully installed, but I sure did get the motor and trans in. I'm so glad I got that all together before I painted. So glad everything got mocked up and fabbed in before. It all went back together like a glove. Now I can finish the suspension bits, and plumb the thing in.




It is a bit tight to the firewall, but there is sufficient clearance all the way around. Exhaust nearly doesn't clear the steering box though.




Wonder how many coupes in the US have CA motors in them? Seems to be more prevalent in the down under. Well, thanks you guys for all the help (the Tech Wiki is awesome) I couldn't have done it without you guys!

nIce!
