Default Big wheels & Altezzas? This guy is doomed for failure...

Haha hey guys, after years of lurking on the site, I finally became a member. Here is my '95 Ej1 that I inherited from my brother. I know it needs a lot of work so don't flame me too bad lol. My broski bought it brand new and I have grown up with this car and always wanted it, for graduation he finnaly gave me the keys to it; he then purchased a AP2. I have many plans for her but first will be oem tails and a spoon front lip. The wheels are big I know, but I cant fit smaller ones on with the brake setup, I may end up taking the brakes off or keeping them and doing the rear disc setup. Let me know what you guys think!

i like it, just get some new lighting front and rear, Clean car once you derice.
Also you could always get some nice volks later on to clear those brakes.

Pretty damn nice for free, but still needs some goodies... headlights, and like you said tailights, loose the bra, and you might possible be able to fit some volks with that break set up.. good luck.

^^ I posted before i saw yours lol.. so pretty much exactly what he said. I love it "Derice" haha

I like the huge front brake setup paired with stock rear drums.

Nice for free. Car looks straight, which is a plus. Whats good is that the parts that you don't like, are easily replaceable.

Good luck with it.

Ditch the AlCheddar lights and you're good to go.

I'd leave it the way it is. because the theives in the area have prob already grown accustomed to seeing it and won't mess with it if u swap/ build that d series, but thats just me
looks good/ clean, would of been "in" a few years ago

Go stock lighting, sell the rims and brakes for cash to put towards doing the car right from scratch.
