how is this car as a pro-touring starting point?

here is my question. ive come to a number in agreement with the seller, but how should I have it checked out by a local speed shop to ensure the car is in working order? Any special tests that can be done to the motor to ensure it is 100%?

thanks, we both just agreed upon $23,500 as the sale price. Im going to fly out to get it.

I think that's a steal at $23500.

[uthustler]

I do as well, just hope there is nothing hidden.

The first thing I want to do is be able to fit 335's under the rear. Where can I get a mini-tub kit? Which would you recommend? What all will I need to fit those? Best place to get Fikse wheels? Would you go 17" in the back or 18"? How wide would you go? Id like to put 295s up front, 17" Fikse FM5s, but unsure what it takes to fit those 295's up front. Currently it has 275's.

Ok, I figure 18x11 Fikse FM5's on the rear with 335/30ZR18
18x10 Fikse FM5's on the front with 295/35ZR18

How does that sound? About right? Anyone know what bolt pattern I need?

Great deal at 23500. I don't think you will fit 18X10 upfront without an aftermarket subframe. I believe you are maxed out at 18x8 up front. Nine ball is a fikse dealer from this site and would be able to provide more info. I like the black chrome TTII's. I would be interested in them for one of my projects if you want to sell them.

For $23500 I wouldn't worry to much if something isn't perfect. If the paint and body is in perfect condition it is a steal.

my main concern is i dont want a blown tranny or motor

You're not going to get 295's in the front with your current subframe. DSE makes mini tubs for the car. DSE also makes a subframe where you can go as high as 285-295 in the front. CAR makes a subframe where you can use 315's in the front.
