My DR1400 project started today

[Permanent grin]

My TE37SL's sporting their 315/30/18 R888's



The car has now gone off to the body shop to have some wheel arch work done. The reason this was required?

A lot of you will be old enough to remember the 'Carlos Fandango wheels' Panama advert from the 70's and for those that don't, here it is.



Here is my version of enough rubber to keep me on the road! I reckon with that amount of rubber it'll run 9's all day long on pump fuel! :twisted:

And from the front

Yep nuts alright! Those rims are very nice, how wide are they? 12"? lol

What are they going to do to the fenders? Flares?

I feel bad for your drivetrain

[Permanent grin]

They are 18"x10.5".

Something similar to this if Cianci doesn't reply to James at Amber fairly soon.



I am considering this Cianci kit though

The drive train is going to be the potential weak spot. I have a full bell housing brace on both gearboxes as well a DR billet end cases on each gearbox. Gearbox #1 is a Kormex rebuilt syncro box with a 300M output shaft whilst gearbox #2 is a semi helical dog gear set and bespoke final drive with lsd front and centre diffs and billet forks. The old transfer case is being sent off to Elite for them to analyze the stress and wear points and hopefully come back to me with a stronger solution. That then moves everything down to the ring and pinion.......

That would be great. I don't know why you don't see more widebody 3s's. As long as the car is I think it looks good. If you look down on a 3s like from the 2nd-3rd floor of a building it really lets you know how long theses cars are.

my 295's don't even stick out quite that far.

[Permanent grin]

They wouldn't, these are 315's

I´m fairly certain the red car is not built by cianci ? they have a precise copy of the kit ? FWIW
YATTCAR&#39;s Channel - YouTube <- built it

[Permanent grin]

I know, at the bottom you can see some pictures of their kit. The main point was that the wings are 2-3" wider than stock which would suit my set up perfectly.
