Show Me Your Racing Machines

[Roy]

I look every week, always the wrong sizes I want 18 x 9 fronts and either 18 x9.5 or 18 x 10 rears. Friend has 18s with 9" front and i think 9.5" rears on his R33...best wheel out there, well next to Weds !

[sav man]

i've been eyeing some 17x8 +25 off, pitty they are in faggy gold, and i'm too tight to buy them and get them painted white

[Roy]

I was looking at them in case that R32 Targa (Kerrys) car added up LOL need to find the right car to suit a set of wheels i want to buy

[Big Fella]

just pulled all of the brake cylinders and callipers off of the car to have rebuilt- it's been sitting around for a while- if its sunny outside tomoorrow i'll get some and post them up.

but for now here's the motor before it got a decent clean

and a pic of her when i picked it up

car is on loan from my boss. the deal is that if i pay for consumables - ie fuel and tyres- and keep up basic maintenence, then i get to use it for free. it has been sitting around for a few years so the first thing is to go thru the whole car and make sure it's all safe and CAMS approved.

hopefully it'll be competing in hill climbs later this year.

[zebra]

I wish I could score a deal like that.

But what happens if you bend it?

[Beer Baron]

cool car! you will need some good biceps with the slicks up font and the tiny go kart steering wheel!

should be wicked fun and sound great with the big webbers on it.

funnily enough that was never discussed. i'm speaking to roll cage fabricators at the moment to try and get some extra strength put in around the driver for safety.

hopefully the steering isn't too heavy- the car weighs stuff all- but i am thinking of putting a larger diameter wheel, mounted further back for better ergonomics.

next time i have it running i'll record the noise it makes. sounds Fkn wicked, little flames out the pipes on overrun at times too.

[hrd-hr30]

cool - sports 1300s are pretty awesome.

[R32gts-t]

Well i was waiting to put the new TE37s on it and the new engine bits before posting pic but who knows when that will be...so

not sure how i missed this-

your car looks amazing!

such a cool r32, with loads of history too.

and the wing is very cool, everything about it looks mint, and in my opinion it will look better sitting on some wide 17's.

keep it up!

[Roy]

Cheers! Have some 17" TE37s (9.5" R and 9" front) in satin black with some metallic grey flake or something through it. They will be going on when the car gets back from the mechanics in a month or so. (Brakes, manifolds, exhaust, tune etc)

If a few things go my way then the car will be doing some pretty cool and special things later this year...otherwise it will just be sitting in storage whilst I am away

What size wheels are they, i would hurt people for the right sized Regas for my car

17x8 +35 fronts with 25mm spacer

17x9 +18 rears

I didn't even know what they were when I bought the car. I was worried they might be a bit dodgy when I saw "Made in Russia" stamped into the back of them! lol

got some 17x9 +38 and 17x10 +40 sitting here

[Roy]

Really? If only they were 18s

[R32gts-t]

posting this in here because I know you're all motorsport tragics, and are seemingly not biased to one make or model,

a friend emailed the link to me, he didn't have an explanation as to why pickles have all of this available at once, but some very nice gear none the less!!!!!

edit: it appears they are having their muscle car auction...

http://www.pickles.com.au/cars/listing/LIS...aleid-103001773

namely the vs gts-r serial number 001 with 79kms on it!

also the HRT 427...

the walkinshaw, and turbo XE... the list goes on!

[phunky_monkey]

Wouldn't mind taking that 427 home!
