Get some OZ Racing or BBS wheels on that Golf to finish it off!

I've been considering transferring my OZ Racing rims from my skyline to the Golf. If I don't I think I will hold onto them rather than sell them with the skyline.

Truth be known I don't mind the current wheels. I know they are standard issue however quite like them.

Cheers

I bought it second hand with only 13,000km's on the clock. I saved $12k over buying it new. It was a great deal becaus the guy I bought it from was so vastidious and there are literally no marks on it. He was never game enough to park it in a parking lot. Anybody can say this I know but if you saw his home you too would believe this. He was upset to see it go so I have granted him visiting rights. LOL.

Very tidy mate. I love the grille on the R32, just so classy.

I would love to have a drive of the R32 something I didn't do when trying to find a new car, mostly because it was out of my price bracket.

Just wondering what colour leather do you have?

Enjoy your drive.

I love the Golf GTI's, apparently they're more fuel economic than a Toyota Prius :D with more poke to boot. When my gf was shopping for a car, it was either this or the Mazda 3 MPS, and she ended up choosing the Mazda because she thought it looked better. Bah humbug.

Good buy, love the interior and look.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
