hey its nice, without doubt

thats some huge dish going on at the rear, thinking (personally) are they perhaps 1/2inch too wide?

just the way the tyres sit on the rims, thats all.

lower it a little (half an inch) and she'll be looking might FiN3

Nah Tangles, she can fit at least 245 or 255 on the rears as they are 9.5 wide, but they tyres are streached over as they are 225s, Tis what mine are like also!

yeah like deluxe said, i could fit wider tyres, but i left it upto Joe at wheelworx to fit what he thought was best. With these tyres they dont sit out the guards as much.

Yep gonna lower her just a little, cant go too low or i wont get it in my driveway. I have enough trouble now as it is!

Angles are your friend...........

My front bar scrapes everytime i come and go from my joint, twice a day at least! I have put down steel sheets but it still scrapes......Meh all is good, nothing a little fibreglass wont fix!

well up until about a month ago, i use to park in my neighbours driveway every night, and out the front of my house during the day. Then he decided to sell and move so i was forced to learn to get into my driveway. Getting in is easy now.. but reversing out is fun, it requires going forward and back a few times to get more and more angle. Seeing as though the front bar has been painted twice now since ive had it, i dont wanna chip or scrape the paint lol

Its not that my cars that low, its just that my driveway sucks!

Ummm i dunno lol. Maybe they were waitin to see if you would do anything? Cos a few cars went past us actin like idiots. I really dunno though lol sorry

Your rims look HAWT Flick!!! :thumbsup:

I know all about angles on drive ways I use to have to use my neighbours drive way to get to my house and go over there lawn until they got mad and started blocking it with cars :laugh: lol

But I learnt pretty quick the massive angles that I needed to take to get up and down and blocks of wood are my friends :(

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
