baller status charlie.

[F8d2Blk]

Need to find another one of those asap. Those will be sweet on the crown. I must of missed you yesterday. I stopped in for a minute at GZ.

5 spoke wheel is a Ronal R9

[driftyboy]

Motor kinda blew up a while back so a swap is coming soon.

I know the exact motor you're getting...

[5speed]

It is beautiful man! Story makes the car sound even more worth the trouble. Can't wait to see what is in store. 7mgte sounds like a good deal.

the meshies are just called american racing mesh. You could always find a enkei 92 mesh in 16x8 5 lug it looks identical

Thanks man, i was throw off since one of them cam in an american racing box with a different part number. Just an old box most likely. plus it had one of those ARE caps on it, need to find a few more of those also.

Care to share?! John and i have talked about a few different motors, so im not sure which one your talking about. Of course i remember your cressida.

I still like the steelies too, i can't stop buying wheels/tires. Do you know if any company copied the Ronal wheel? These seem to have no markings on them, and i find online pics of the ronal marks on the back of there wheels. And i read somewhere a guy making reference to his Ronal copies.

That's the one! John said he should be picking up my Cressida this week.

nice man, hows it run?

[driftyboy]

nice man, hows it run?

Ran great before the crash. John just came by to pick it up, and since it's been sitting alittle over a month it took a minute to get her running again. Should be at Garage Zero in an hour or so. Can't wait to see your Crown alive!

[AltimaCharlie]

hell yeah man! thanks!

Your Motor has finally arrived my friend. Will keep you posted on the status of things

ORLY!

I have 8 of those Ronal R9s...

Although EP3sAreFun gets 4 of them ( white )

The remaining 4 are black. What sizes were you looking for?

[AltimaCharlie]

So are ronal's just popular for Starions? i think i read that they where an option once? Mine are 16x8 with 5.5 inches of backspace. so that's like 0-20mm offset. i was never quite sure of the calculations. i could use 16x7 on the front if that's all you have. i am buying a 4th ARE mesh wheel this friday. So i am not in a huge hurry. Would you sell 2? i assume you wouldn't want to since that would leave you with 2. I also have no idea what they are worth.

typically the ARE and Enkei mesh go from anywhere from 150 for a less desirable set to 500ish

hell yeah man nice!

I'll have to sort of wing it where I go with my remaining 4 - but I always lurk for more. Yeah, the Ronals were a dealer option supposedly. I personally like how they look on the Starion





Fronts were shopped white

[AltimaCharlie]

they look good on there. But of course the stock wheels on starions are the shit. My favorite stock wheel ever. If you want to sell 2 let me know, or if you find a pair somewhere else just tell me about them. Or if you know someone wanting a pair, i might even sell mine.

[sleeper1979]

nice old school . You my friend is a bad ass ,me myself is going on a long journey to pick up my old school. I will post some soon ,but damn love the Crown!!!!!!!!!!1

[AltimaCharlie]

Thanks man! I havn't updated this thread in a long time! The 6m is running good, and i have taken the car to few shows. I will Post some pics that many of our friends here took at the July 4th show , and the most recent Meet at the shop.



i like this interior shot, i have do nothing except lazily wrap that bandana around the shifter. I like it with the torn carpet and whatnot.

The 6M. {7m bottom end/5M upper. 3.0 inline 6 cyl}

Gone from his shop! i still have it, and will forever most likely. I even have a lead on another one, but it's in NC and the wife thinks it's a dumb idea.
