Got some fitment issues up the front. 20 * 8.5 +25 rims.

The wheel is physically too large in rolling diameter and is rubbing on the top suspension arm. So I need to hit the drawing board.

Anyway the test fit...

What are you guys thinking? Improvement or not? I am going to slam the car back to the ground with the new rims, remove the wing, and try and line up a carbon fibre duck wing and roof spoiler.

I think the new rims need a new look...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

yea they look hotttt,

slam to the ground, get the duck lip if you want, but i dont know about the roof spoiler i dont really like the look of them

but definently make these rims fit and slam the car to the ground :D

what size tyre on the front?

i like it but i dont know how you'll get around the front lip been a mile from the road purely because of the size of the rim you wont be able to reduce it much.

still nice wheels an all.

ROOF SPOILERS ARE FKN AWESOME.

Yeh im worried this suspension arm might be the death of me!

I took some pics to show it. Hopefully with a 5mm spacer on the front and a stretch say, 215/30/20 on the front. But turning still might pose problems, and I think full lock is out of the question lol.

But I mean come on bulk people have fitted 20s before to 33's (all be it chromies :(), surely there is an easy solution. Aftermarket suspension arm (thats less bulky)?

Oh and the tire on the front atm is a 245/35/20 I think. I wont go that wide on the front with the new tire, which will save me some space... but the new tire will have tread aswell (where thisone is down to the wire), so i fear it will even itself out abit there!

The Cannon Exhaust is about to go though. Looking to cut the tip off and weld something a bit quieter on the end to try and get a crisper less droney note

cool lower lip on the bar man, wheres that from?? accentuates the front even more than normal...which im starting to love :)

Just Jap. Took a lil bit of trimming and adding to fit. Otherwise it aint too bad. Just replaces the factory lip. Gives it more of a sporty look to the front without looking over the top whilst keeping the strength and fit of the factory frontbar.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
