now, look at MY car thread.

nice... great idea

 

[awptickes]

Looks good. Nice idea.

 

[TurboMirage]

hey thanks!

 

[BigJ]

Sweeeeet. Your front plate is begging to get removed!

 

[awptickes]

He can't in MA, same as MD.

 

[double0Si]

Same law in Ohio. Ive windshielded them on every car Ive driven (since 2003) and hope that BSing will cover it. (never been hassled, yet)

Wheels look great though.

Maryland law is very specific about how a plate is to be displayed, it has to be free of any covering (windshield counts, even though it's clear.) MD § 13-411.

Mass too: General Laws: CHAPTER 90, Section 6


EDIT: It looks like he could get some green and white plates, and thus skirt the front plate law. Good luck getting them legally transferred though. Perhaps buy a vanity green and white plate, then get vanity plates issued with the same numbers/letters, and just put on the green and white plates, with the new plate registration tab?

 

[double0Si]

So is Ohio law. What I do isn't legal. lol Its just not so strictly enforced. There has been talk of ditching them for a while, but as always, its just talk.

 

[TurboMirage]

Green and white plates have been being turned in for about 20 years now...

 

[eg6sir]

same law here, but i'm sure thats no surprise.. most people dont follow it and dont get harassed for it.. i never ran one on my EG, only time i got crap for it was while it was parking in the courthouse parking lot.. came out and douche was writing me a ticket.. i had it in the back seat and showed it to him and trashed the ticket.. lol

 

[TurboMirage]

If you change vehicles or renew your registration at the registry, they automatically assign you new plates, free of charge, and you sign an affidavit saying you will either turn in or destroy the plates.

the only way out of it is to do your transactions online regarding the vehicle.

[double0Si]

You lowering it now too? Otherwise idk if its gonna look right.

 

[TurboMirage]

I have TRD springs.

 

[TurboMirage]

25mm spacers...

before

after

front too now.

oh and then swapped the engine from kristens old escort (dude bought the engine for $250 from the junkyard) into his with a blown engine. not fun... fuck fords.

 

[awptickes]

25mm looks like it's a bit too much.

Did you measure front track and rear track to make it neutral?

 

[TurboMirage]

its fine. i'm just doing what everyone else does to push the wheels out without spending hundreds of dollars on wheels that are 8 inches wide. remember, these aftermarket wheels are OEM replacement (diameter, width, offset).


rides and drives like stock. already put over 100 miles on the setup.

 

[awptickes]

Yeah, I know, I'm just asking.

I put 20mm spacers on the rear of my cr-z, and it changed the handling a little bit. I prefer OEM wheels, so I'm limited to spacers when widening the track.

 

[reckedracing]

great work on the center caps
anything that says TRD automatically costs 150% more

 

[eg6sir]

TRD makes a cam for my pickup (22r-e).. thought about picking it up.. stage 1 runs $100
