Baileys - my smooth, creamy beige '91 Vic

[85crownHPP]

these are the same tires I had on the 85 before i went with the steelies - 235/70/15 front and 255/70/15 rear.

[boXman]

lookin good!

[FatNasty]

Turbines look great! And it looks like a perfect amount of height in the back

[p71towny]

She's lookin good, and after a bath you'll get like 20hp. Im not sure how it works exactly, and Im pretty sure mythbusters needs to do a special on it, but yeah, you gain HP when you clean your car.

springs are in - I gained an inch as measured where you see the tape. Rear sits level with the oddly high front end like some vics have. Yes, those huge tires will be going on the back

Good deal. Just don't forget, some of that gain will settle back down as the new springs take a set.

lookin good!.........we need to have some company make 16" and 17" turbines

[Blaze86Vic]

When did they start adding rubber to the gas tank straps?

[1987cp]

I like the idea of big-inch turbines. There aren't really that many 16 or 17-inch wheels I know of that really look good on big cars ("bling" rims don't count, obviously). How would one go about such a venture?

dunno how we would go about getting custom wheels made, i know i wouldnt be able to afford a set lol
option i chose was to run a set of 87-89 mark7 lsc turbines...they are 16" but did require spacers......i reccomend 1.25" if planning the big brake conversion......even then we had to grind gadgets calipers slightly.......the lsc turbines are real thick

[Blaze86Vic]

NO WAY, price would be WAY up there.

Most larger diameter wheels do look like crap on these cars, but IMHO, most larger diameter wheels have crap for style anyways, they just go with the crap for style cars they were made for.

Not quite how I would put it, but totally to the point. We need a 16" rim that looks like our Westerns. Now that would be worth paying for.

[Blaze86Vic]

The only 16" Western Mags I've seen are for 8 bolt patterns.

[1987cp]

Yeah, 8-bolt truck wheels somehow don't help the cause very much.

Unless...:evil:

good eye jonnie I didnt even notice. I did notice a couple other "improved" things, differences from the 85... things like plastic instead of metal clips holding the fuel/brake lines in place.
