mmm

gf rekons fresh coat of black with some rainbow flake in it

im tossing up gunmetallic grey with heavy rainbow flake... or my gfs mazda chocolate metallic brown (still have 2L of paint left from her car so...)

front wheelbearings i believe are my noise/vibration in the front so need to get them done this week

just need to wait till tomorrow to ring around for bearing prices

front 18's arrive this week to complete the set (yay)

however my gf just bought some 18x9 +15 and 18x9.5 +12 bronze TE37's... and she wants my wheels so... im unsure wether to swap her or not...

18x10.5 +26 with 8mm floater and -1 camber with 215/40/r18 stretched

guard rolling done by my gf

guards getting fixed in about 2 months and being pulled out another 10-20mm... ideally i want to run 18x9 +0 front and 18x10 +0 rear comfortably i can fit an 18x10 +10 without spacer with the lip of the rim exposed by guard edge (what i consider flush)

LOL

dude i got about 30mm of pull so far

factory untouched guards you can roll on 9jj +30's all round with some stretch... ceffies dont accomodate shit

do i have pull? oh i got pull! it aint pretty but its pull!

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
