I think that overall 16s and 17s look best on our cars... I'm not much for skinny skinny rubber. tho I'm rocking stockers right now, and hopefully will have better tires to use on tuesday.

anyhow i'm done post whoring since i own a VG.
If you plan on using BBS Rims, MAKE SURE you find them with a center bore (diameter) of 66mm instead of 61.6mm; (Rare, if any). Otherwise you'll have to have them bored out even more by a machine shop which isn't that cheap, they are a gorgeous wheel in my opinion, but do your research on them first, I found out the hard way there are more variables to take in when finding nice wheels than lug patterns and offset.

I wasn't talking smack about it... They're pretty powerful for their size because they have veetack.

They are only 3hp shy of a VE30 but they don't have near as much torque.

I've learned that the best way to not get flamed is to not talk about at all until you've done it and have plenty of pictures to show everybody.

I forgot about progress. Basically, if you have some sort of proof that you have done or are doing something cool/unique/noteworthy, you won't get flamed at all. People get flamed because they talk about doing stuff that they usually won't do. It's easy to say that I'm going make an awd, rb26, 2 dr, maxima, but how easy is it to do it?

I had a 1994 GXE, Sold it to my cousin, still see it weekly. I have a 93 VE-Auto now (Pearly), and a 94 VE-5 Gold Parts car helping me out with the swap. (Fugi43's old car)

Hah, I actually bought some VE emblems up at the Toyota dealer....

I have one that meets those requirements except it has 173k miles (but drivetrain is strong) and is a '94. Oh, and it's in FL. Let me know if you want pics. I could probably let it go as is for $500.

Boy I know how that is...my mom was backing out of the garage one day when I had the 92 GXE and nailed my rear right corner. Fortunately, no body damage for me, just paint, but mom did not get off so lucky. The Town and Country suffered a good punch in driver's door.

Any thoughts on going back to the retractable one?
