Rims looks nice & yeah even nicer once lowered.

Vote for black caliper w/ anodised gold writing.

^^^ saves me typing it :)

+2

i was gunna say just that, i dont mind the red gold and black but the black caliper with gold writing will look awsome

So much for "lifestyle changes" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

My only complaint (apart fromt he ride height which is alredy sorted) is the rim widths.

I reckon you'll regret 7.5" front and 8" rear - widest you can legally go now is 245 on the rear, and having had 255s before I'd say you'll notice the difference especially with your new power. I'd be interested to see how you find the change in handling with skinnier fronts than you're used to as well.

Rims suit the car to the ground though, and I know how long you've wanted that style of wheel.

In the back of my mind, I can hear something about "stock" but I can't remember what it is.......

I have been running 235s on the back for a couple of sets now - 245s and 255s (which I used to run) are ridiculously expensive - like I priced up the 255 GIIIs the car came with and they wanted $550 a corner!

And yeah, it is still sorta stock :)

i can get the S03's for around 450 a corner. they are a model up from G3, 10/10 for wet and dry performance and road noise. good tread patterns on these babies i tell you lol. I can imagine 225's being put over wide 18's for that stretched look *drools*. when i get the cash I am sticking 2 on the front and thats it.

S03 is already a superb tyre, like I dont see how much more efficient you can make a tyre. it tries not to sacrifice anything and still manages to be an all rounder.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
