JJ,i agree with Tony on this one,seems the offset on this beautiful HRE wheels are not the correct ones for you application here.You are going to need some massive spacers from Charlie to see if they work.Too much spacers width mean your wheel hub bearings are gonna suffer also.Even with coilovers,which give you more wheel/tire space,you are gonna have problems.But i see your wheels are 3 piece units,if so its time to start measuring and start contemplating the option of changing/buying $$ different outer and inner rings sizes from HRE.The offset on this wheels definately are not suited for the Dallara from what i can see.I have 13x8 BWA wheels with 215/50-13`s on my Faza/Abarth replica on coilovers and even with spacers it was a very tight fit.And my wheels have a lot of outer lip compare to almost none on yours.Call Charlie and start working on this.........he`s got the expertise on this matter for sure..........let us know what comes up.....Albert

I agree Albert. I will work on this. Say does anyone remember the names of those two companies that make lips for wheels? HRE doesnt have any bolt paterns that match these wheels so I cant go any further with them. I would love to send out these rims to the right folks. I think I will keep the fronts the way they are and add about 2 inches Lip to these wheels for the rears. From there I should be fine. Charlie comes over to my place every month or so and we measure. I have him coming back this way in a few weeks... I will keep you posted....:eat:

Ok. Cleaned up the Fuse Box today and got Brake lights working. The radiator fan works but only if I bypass the relay. I guess I either need a new relay or something isnt plugged right on the fuse box.
I will get a new battery and get the car registered next Saturday. So I guess then I can officially call this car Road Worthy minus some small details like those turn signal lenses (Yes I ordered them). I also need to do some small details like put some inserts behind the air scoops so its not so barren in there... Best of France Here we come whoopee.. Now Lets start getting the FAZA car back together...:wacko:

I think those HRE rims are gorgeous. If I'm in the neighborhood, I'd like to stop by.

I think its the Axles. The car is about an inch too low in the rear and it has those early axles from the 74 that fit into the trans. Not like the 1500 set up with alan bolts... I think if I raise the car It will go away. If its not the axles then its the gear box and there is nothing I can do other than just drive it until it explodes again then put in a Toyota Engine with a Super charger...:woot:

Don`t think its the transmission,it can be the axles,it can be your emergency brake cable rubbing,or just the wheels rubbing against the calipers or something like wheel weights or the caliper and disc shield etc.Try lifting the car and turning the wheels by hand,sound is not gonna be that loud like when driving so pay attention.Look for fresh rubbing areas....Albert
Beautiful
The car looks and sounds like a $40,000 car. To find the sound you could try pushing it with the motor off and a couple assistants with good ears walking along. On a lift you could listen for brake/wheel weight sounds, but not some of the other suggestions.
