    .. ironically.. the 20s on Genghis dont weigh but 1.5 pounds more than those heavy 18s on Xerxes... its what im goin for.. not a light to light racer.. but something fun on highways and interstates.. eclipses are known for long gears and i DO live in alabama.. thats all we have!!! lol..

    ...people stick to the fact that its a "widebody" a lot... but its gonna have some bite to it.. by NO means am i one of those people who just throws a lot of parts on a car just to say do it... i measure and calculate EVERYTHING.. rpm's cruising on the highway determines what turbo size to get and spooling issues.. handling issues.. stuff like that.. ill go on forums and research every part... EVERY.. and ask people the pros and cons of each.. and take notes.. or save it on my desktop.. i have a stack of notebooks with randoms notes scratched in them..

    Xerxes is gettin the mtech two kit.. i want it to look similiar like this one when its done:

    and YES.. that is a bmw v8 engine in his...

    and BTW.. THOSE ARE 17s hes riding on with a 215/40 tire in the front... i am running a 215/35 r18... TECHNICALLY we will be sittin at the same height.. so riding LOW with 18s is possible.. you just have to do your homework.. well his wheel tire combo is 23.8" and mine is 23.9"... and by the pics.. he is sittin the height all the way round that i want to be..

    and supra tail light conversions on eclipse are dumb to me.. but thats to me.. THAT and i have two friends who have REAL supras.. and i dont want it to take away from being a widebody eclipse.. ya kno

    No one said anything about not getting low on 18s.

    Props to you for doing you and that's cool and all;

    but unprops to you for your "fun times" on public roadways. Later, QD.
