Notch Test Pics
 

Well I just got done slapping two of my 17 x 7 Boxter wheels on my brothers Notch and the fit with no clearance problems what so ever.

I was able to turn the wheels both ways with no rubbing in the front & rear sat up inside the fender with no rubbing either.

It looks like my wheels should work out perfectly should I buy my brothers notch.

I will have to have the rotors redrilled for tempory until I figure out what brakes I will go with (if I buy it)

What do you mean "IF" you buy it. You got the wheels on it, it's yours.

I havent bought it yet :D

:goodness: Absolutely awesome. It is nice to see something different.

Alex, those were my sentiments exactly :)

I emailed these pics to my brother in Puerto Rico & now he is having second thoughts about selling the car. He loves it with my wheels. I havent spoken with him yet on the phone, but I am going to try to talk him back into selling it to me.

That is sweet. Possession is 9/10ths, I think you got a GL notch.

Wow, that looks awesome !!

I assume the Notch is already lowered ?

Man, isn't it amazing what a nice set of wheels can do to a car ?

Rob.

Yes the notch is already lowered and dechromed except for the hood molding.

Whoa ! Looking good Joe !

If I could get a Notch up in Toronto, I'd buy one for sure ! Just to be different. Its great to know that those wheels fit.

That picture just earned a place in my webshots-background collection. :D

Rob.

vujade,
that looks awesome!!!
buy the Notch.....

cheers

Very cool, like one of the other posts said "your rims are on it. it yours!" I have always liked the look of the notch, there are not many of them still on the road, and that car is definetly a head turner. Good Luck Darren

Bad News guys, my brother has had second thoughts on selling the Notch. :(

He really didnt want to sell it in the first place. He thought that was he only option to raise the money that he needed. Thats why he gave me first dibs on it, to keep it around in the family.

He told me yesterday, that he is goint to try to get a loan so that he doesnt have to sell the car.

After seeing my wheels on his Notch and hearing all of your responses, I think I am going to have to go on a search for another Notch for myself.

Oh no!! You put too many good ideas in his head by putting the wheels on!!;)

explain to him that this is no time to be going out on a limb and borrowing money he doesn't have. you would much rather do the right thing as a brother and make sure he is financially secure and that money would take him a long way. :D

talk him out of the car. that looks toooooo damn good. plus the car already has so much done.

Zen, I hear ya man!

Actually, he hasnt completely ruled out selling it to me.
If he cant get the loan the offer will be back on the table.

Act quick, there's a guy on the samba with a notch and two squares for sale for 1500.

thanks John :)

I have already been in contact with a few sellers about some notchbacks and fastbacks.

ok, you officially have the bug then (no pun intended). you will be in yet another new car soon. :silly:

we'll see what happens.... I aint making no promises! :silly:

I still say Possession is 9/10ths. But if he keeps it you will have to talk him into joining the VKG. Competition between 2 brothers could produce some nice cars.

true dat. look at the Smiff boys. albiet one is BK and the other a KG owner. :D

i have to agree with the possesion rule.

One word: awesome!
