SH8KDWN Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'd venture a guess, knowing a little about his motor rebuild, and say that the Volvo is faster. The NSX is beautiful and has ESP like handling. The Saffron is a beast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Mounted the front wheels today and took a couple shots. I was running out of sunlight though so they are pretty dark. While having the tires mounted we ran across a tear in the sidewall so I ended up throwing another set of 245/35/19's that I had sitting around on the front. Clearance is a little tight and a I rub just a bit on sharp turns but other than that no issues. I do plan on switching to 235's once my replacement comes in. I also lowered the rear just a bit. I'd like the front a little lower and once I get the new tires on will adjust accordingly.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 LOL,I know, the brakes on there suck. I already have a Stoptech front kit and CJ's rear S60R brackets ready to go on. Just need to pick up the rear calipers and rotors and i'm set.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermy Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 i definitely preferred the look of the moda's on your saff, but these wheels are nothing short of amazing :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 i definitely preferred the look of the moda's on your saff, but these wheels are nothing short of amazing I know what you mean. I loved the way the moda's looked as well, just wanted something modular that I could rebuild if they get damaged. Plus the moda's have a little wear and could use some refinishing. If noone bites on them i'll probably have them painted over the winter to keep as an extra set. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyeah from what i hear the R6's are fairly soft, i'd really be sweating the thought of bending them, especially with the tire profile you were running on them sucks that the sale fell through on your C but im glad its still getting love, if i had the money i would have taken it off your hands in an instant back when it was in philly... still one of the most stunning cars ive ever seen, i remember it from the frozen morgantown meet like it was yesterday [/reminisce] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97Grand Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Beautiful car. I remember watching craigslist while it was on there dreaming of buying it. How much are you looking to get for the Modas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 my purple is going to be hotter but those wheels look amazingLOL, you may fix it up but at the end of the day the car is still purple jkThe Moda's are actually up in the fs section right now for $400 plus shipping. They need some love but I can recommend a few shops to send them to. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
