M30 swap for my Olive Drab Vert! by RagtopE30

I am running direzza dz101 tires that work really well above 75 degrees. Below that they break loose in second and third on hard pulls. But I am about to replace them with some wider and stickier tires. 

Depending non your diff and tires you will have full traction in 3rd

So update time. The car is freaking awesome as usual. I had a local friend call me up the other day and asked if I wanted to go to some local track and play with his firebird that he put a 500hp LS into. I of course laughed and asked why in the world I would want to go anywhere to play with a slow heavy car! I play with a 500+ crank horse power car every day.

So fender flares got some attention today. I decided to tackle the rears first because even if I ran out of time it still looks cool with rear flares. So I did some cutting and welding and then some painting because shiny parts dont look right on my car.

Eventually the flares will be body color when I paint the car the same color as the engine bay.

And now I can put some much wider tires in the rear and actually be able to experience traction!!! Oh and not the rear can be dropped to the appropriate lowness.
