cool...thanks grant.

mate has a set of eurolines ..18*9 and 18*10 ..both with +35 offset...i'll try them for fit this weekend....oh and tyres are 235 at the rear too...really stretchhhhhed

wont fit in the rear it WILL hit the coilover, you need a 25mm spacer to clear them

the front will be kinda sunken

BUT if you put the 10 in the front you would be fine, but it woudl be stupid

Nice, Marc. Must come back to Canberra to have a sticky-beak...

Front 18x9 +30 Rays GT7, Proxe(?) 235x40x18

Rear 18x10 +32 Rays GT7, Maxxis 245x40x18 plus 3mm spacers.

Prior to WA road rego was tyres rear Proxes also, 265x35x18 but self destructed between Brisbane & WA. (bugger)

Ride height ~380mm all round. At this time.

cheers GW :ermm:

I thought the R33/R34/Stagea AWD system was like other AWD's - in the fact that you have to run the same size tyres front and rear?

Is this not the case?

I know you can get away with it for a while, but you'll end up burning out your drivetrain, correct?

Ref wheel diameters/profiles front to rear, I'm sure you are right however my GTIR equiped son tells me that my car is only 4wd when the rears break away & to date I have not achieved this. Too busy messing around with it plus tyres cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$. The 35's came with it of the boat so could well have been half shagged before it got into my hands. By the time I got it to WA they was chewed out on the inside edge. I will not be fitting that profile in the future unless it is all four.

Cheers GW :wub:

how much lower are you than stock?

nevermind.

i guess i really DID have that much camber lol

looks good man!

I would say about stock height. Any lower & it slurps up beer cans off the road.

Cheers GW :wub:

i pulled it becuase i hate 4wd

its still pulled now.....

im not in snow or slick surfaces, so i dont need 4wd.... its overrated around my area...plus i like drifting and big smokey burnouts

Why did you get a Stagea again?

i've had a galant vr4 engine with a gsr 4wd gearbox fit in a lancer before which in fwd mode.....mechanics had to weld something in the tranny to stop the rear from spinning....did you have to do the same when going rwd?

in answer of nz_26t question on whats the bigest rims you can fit under a serries one stag (i answed it here as i belive we should keep this thread alive.) my friend has a serries one 96 model and has just recently fitted 20x7's not shure on the rest as i don't speak to him much any more.

don't happen to have any pix do you of the 20's on?

any problems putting them on with guard clearance & so forth?

sorry fuzzy as i said don't talk to him much and haven;t seen him in a while. all i do know is he got his serries one stock, fitted exsahust and got it lowred by reseting the factory springs only resulted in 30mm drop. wacked on 17's then upgraded to 20's after ruining a 17. no gaurd removal just bolted them on no spaces and i think it looks f#@ked the rims sit to far in and it looks like a monster truck it's that high off the ground. as i said though there only 7" wide if you are going to get some get them through a reputible dealer and get the write off set. lower it as far as possible then even get a body kit so it looks low and suits the rims

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
