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...........

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!

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 :(

      EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home

      You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
