hey Cara,

should go 18x9 on the front as 18x8 will sit inside the guard heaps. :(

You mean 19x9?? He's right how come they come 19x8 front and 19x10 rear, such a big difference between the front and rear!! And also you should stretch some 235 or 245 on the rears in stead of 275!! All in all yes the wheels will be a nice look!!

hahaha

Nah don't go 245s on the front, I have 8.5 front with 235 and there is no stretch what so ever, I'd be sticking with a 235 if i were you, or you might get inner guard or outer guard scrubbing!!

Darren will you be traveling to any of the VIC state series races this year??

Yeh well after talking with Brad in the Saloon Car we were hoping NOT to run the National Series and wanting to win the SA and VIC state Champs in the one year, so hopefully i'll be going for all rounds but not sure as yet. And as for Strat and the IP car, I think we were supposed to do the next Sandown meeting with the Boostworx boys, but our car is under going some 33 brake upgrades, so don't think we will make that one, but hoping to do a Sandown meeting and possibly a PI meeting!!

I'm assuming your going over for most??

Hopefully living there soon, got an interview this week end over there. I should be at all the Vic rounds with Intermarque. First round in March should have a full capacity grid

Yeh thats the one i might be going over to, I'm in Sydney on the Wed-Fri beforehand, BUT Brad sold his AU to the VIC state champ for cash he couldn't refuse, and he baught his old EA off him before also, So were hoping to borrow the EA for shits and giggles and to get some points........ He still hasn't dropped off the AU so we might have to drive over Friday night after Syd!! All the Boostworx boys will be there i think, so keep your eye out for them and Tony and his 808 has the lap record there!!

Nice work on the interview and Good Luck!!

magnetic?

LOL, that would take some magnet LOL

The giveaway is the ring of bolts inside the rim (what could they be for if the wheel hasnt got a centre?)

The other hint is that the inside diameter is is smaller on the far side. The wheel looks magic from this ange but its easier to see whats happening if they show you the other side, its more like a giant bearing with a tyer on the outside.

how the hell does that bike work with no hub? im just stupid i guess and cant work it out :banana:

hit the link at the top of my post in the wasteland, there is a whole gallery in there.

here are a couple more pics of it

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
