Default Thoughts on 22b kit

I was thinking about putting the 22b arches on to my Type R, not keen on the 22b front bumper, but just like the wide body idea. Is it all worth it

The kits are not cheap plus hours of labour getting them fitted spot on isit really worth it

I have looked into this. Quite expensive.

Also you need to look at spacing the wheels as once the kits on they dont look right.

The type r looks the part as it is. Save yourself the money and the added weight and put it towards tuning the engine.

The car has always been more of a show car really (fms Type R) its running around 360 now which makes a great fast road car. Just with the kit i think it would look amazing. Any one able to photoshop the kit on?

Dont think it would add that much weight as its only fibreglass and some of your rear arch gets cut off.

Personally i would say it's a waste of money, but people also think i am stupid for what i have done to my car, turning a near mint Turbo 2000 that could be a nice fast road car that's practical, into not much more than a engine and chassis that i use on the road more than on track, but i set my goal to make it a track car over a road even thought it's on the road more, but eventually i will have it on track more and one day race it and it will be off the road. I wanted to build a race car, and the only way i can do it is how i'm doing it now, stupid to a lot of people, but how i want it to be to me.

So... if you want it, got the cash, then do it!

Thanks
Sam

That's the key, if you are going to spend £1500+ for this then it's gotta look right. But defo mate go for it, they look the part!

One of my mates is currently doing this to his sti 3 and they cut both sides off to make it a 2 door and added the kit! Lots of work but it looks like it's coming along well and it's going to look the **** Wheels would normally be an issue but his was already wide arched with nice wide wheels and from the photos I've seen they still look great in the arches

NO!

Get wheels of a suitable offset to fill the arches.

get some newage hubs with the 114pcd for the offset.........they will fill the arches nicely.......and will do away with ****ty spacers causing more harm than good due to extra strain on chassis components
