Hey everyone,

Putting my wheels up for sale here for a local to scoop them up before they head off to the main section.

Brand: Rays / Volk Racing

Model: F-Zero Challenge

Size: 18x9

Offset: +22

Tyres: 2x 85-90%, 2x 75-85% with slightly worn inner edge 255/35R18

Condition: There is a bit of gutter rash and some scratches, the usual wear for older wheels. Also tiny bit of chipped paint in non visible areas.

Price: $2000 or decent offer

I have never come across another set in this colour and I have been advised they were an extremely limited run so you can be almost certain no one else has them. Very regretful sale and they would be a nice addition before marques in the park..... *hint*

Any questions feel free to ask.

Youre thinking in reverse Luke... The lower number if it is in positive the wider the offset is (depending on the width of the wheel). For example +22 will sit further away from the strut than a +32 in the same size and width.

You should buy these wheels Luke they would look GREAT on your car especially seeing as they have a red inner lip!

(Its just a pity that they have horrible tyres on them).

DO IT! :)

Bullet32 - haha horrible tyres.. I've just gotten back from tyre shopping and you would be surprised how many reputable shops tried to sell these to me. A certain shop was pushing Nankang's onto me like crazy because they didn't have any Adrenalins in stock. The Nankangs are fairly decent for their price and my driving but then again I dont have Federals to compare them to :thumbsup: . I just want to see a local buy them as I really like them and would be good to see them round on someones car every now and then.

Cheers guys!

Hey if you like Nankangs then thats cool...

Im just a bit bias towards a certain brand (as you may have noticed) :thumbsup:

If you like the Bridgestone adrenalins then you might like the 595 EVO (see picture) its still very new and we dont have a lot of sizes but its definately a sticky street tyre...

Lol, I never said I liked them.. they're just a large step above some of the crap I've driven on in the past...

Where abouts do you work, I may have to pay you a visit and check them out as I'm not really impressed with some of the crap thats been fed to me today. Best value for money I've come across so far are Advan AS01 for $1472 for a set.

      Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
