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!

kinda turned off by dish... although later on this year ill be getting an s14 shell to do as a long term track project... looking to squeez 18x11 -20 under the rears :P or something like that

**WARNING** NO 1" POLISHED LIP CLASSIFIED AS DISH QUOTED WITHIN BY THIS USER

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
