mhm

so this is only my daily driver, i just snaped these pictures. i only ran it threw the automatic car wash yesterday, and minus some wax, interior cleaning, and buffing every once and a while, that will probably be its regular diet of cleaning

so what do you guys think?

i know my liscenes plates are rusty, and also bent, im going to buy black chrome plate frames next weekend, they keep folding up for what ever reason

this is just the begining of the exterior mods, thats mainly what im going to do to the car, that and maybe a few bolt ons, and if i ever get the jeep above 16mpg then ill replace that iffy motor in the car

the tires in the front are 205/50s on 15x6.5" rims
rears are 185/55s on 15x6" rims

i may do 205/50s all around im not sure yet

[FinalGear]

your car looks way different now.....

I think you should chage the 195/50s to the front and the 205/50s to the back you usually put the bigger rims/tires on the back; I'm sure it looks funny with the bigger tires up front.

you really cant tell

and the 185s in the rear with 205s out front took away alot of understeer, its a bit more nimble
205s will soon be all around, but for now, the wider boys stay out front

for the staggered tire setup

Alot of FWD auto-x'ers are known to use this trick to improve handling in FWD cars

ya my father is the only one to positively praise this setup, and thats what im trying to tell people, but no one seems to get it

it doesn't even make a difference in looks that bad, you can tell slightly, because the fronts are wider wheels, so in general they sit a little farther out, but hey its functionality, and anything is better then steelies with factory hubcaps right?

[JoeKneale]

I would have took it very negatively if you threw the bigger tires in the back!

You put wider taller rears on the car only if its rear drive fellers! Big fronts say to me "it's businesss, it's business tiiiime!" I am actually thinking of putting on a set of metro 14x4.5" steelies out back with some cheap 15x7.5" guys up front, just like the law folks its 'function over form'. Good for you for knowing whats up. If understeer is still a problem and your on budget do a rear sway bar, if you are more interested in launching put a rubber spacer (or several) in the coils of your rear springs.

its a corolla, it maybe will see 90hp to the wheels on a nice cold day, when the oil level isn't low

i am not that serious about it, i just knew it would yield a better handling car then if i put the smaller tires in the front and the bigger fatties in the rear, that would promote more under steer, witch is very bad because its already prone, but you know
