Kevin2772 Report post Posted July 11, 2013 I actually prefer the Anniv with the bigger wheels and the bumper as it think the lines flow better then chopping off the back with the no bumper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
qvpower Report post Posted July 11, 2013 I actually prefer the Anniv with the bigger wheels and the bumper as it think the lines flow better then chopping off the back with the no bumper. That's because the larger wheels help offset the bumper mass and keep everything proportional...on stock 15, the back end just looks off IMHO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan-Herbie Report post Posted July 11, 2013 LoL. That's been a project I've been contemplating on doing.. 17x12 casted wheels... Do it! Id put them on my reg Ct as well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
qvpower Report post Posted July 11, 2013 Do it! Id put them on my reg Ct as well! Ive been toying arounf with this for past five years....I'm not sure since the cast tooling cost usually is about 10k for just the one size, do 2 and easily 20k... Not inclusive of the need to have a order minimum... Im not sure how many even want it in those sizes...Forged blanks is a possible alternative but will possible not replicate the angles because of forging blanks usually have a set profile... But forging wont give an absolute perfect match to the original... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

qvpower Report post Posted July 11, 2013 Get up on it! Lol...maybe i might get some guys interested so we can amortize this thing out... I really don't want to make money off as i dont like to have my hobby become a business... And I don't want to pay 35k so that we can make 2 sets of wheels either lol.. Anyways, I'll look for the drawing first... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
qvpower Report post Posted July 11, 2013 Looking at the pics of the Ann, anyone notice side skirts angle up near the rear fenders vs 88.5 qv? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

qvpower Report post Posted July 12, 2013 Yes.. this I have known So the body actually is cut upwards to try to align with the bumper... But the side is relatively symmetric. Almost cuts into the body more... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbnemo1 Report post Posted July 12, 2013 cuts into the body for sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
qvpower Report post Posted July 12, 2013 cuts into the body for sure that doesnt look good with that gap there either... this flare panel that I posted earlier should be able to fix that.. but there is a hole where the bumper support goes which in this case they fashiioned a similar streak type piece to cover... Probably better would be to have a square molded fiber glass that follows the shape to be an add on piece... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

qvpower Report post Posted July 18, 2013 I can change things around on my reg CT No! dont do it.. It looks great as is... get a ann ct and mod it.. You would be helping to polish up the looks of the ann. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
qvpower Report post Posted July 18, 2013 On another note, do people like carbed ann vs fuel injected ann? It would seem that based on people liking dd qv vs fuel injected qv that it would also apply to ann cts... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan-Herbie Report post Posted July 18, 2013 No! dont do it.. It looks great as is... get a ann ct and mod it.. You would be helping to polish up the looks of the ann. I wouldnt do anything to my Countach that isnt quickly bolt up, bolt off.. For example wheels ( would have to be original look wheels, but in 17), swap decklid.. that about it .. I wouldnt touch interior, any performance mods or anything like that. What I have been thinking about on my car, is a cool way to sticker it up, like the Walter Wolf car, but in Andretti trim..

Ultimately, what about this twist... since the F/I was only for the U.S., and DD for the rest of the world... The F/I could be a sought after collectible for the rest of the world, since there are less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FI is rarer in Europe the FI is less sought after because people want the euro version Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
