floody Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 PHaT MR30, is your car the black MR30 with the grey simmons wheels and nice (lack of) ride height? I saw it in Hobart a while ago, looks very nice. What have you done to it? cheers, floody Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/20652-car-show-august/page/2/#findComment-478450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHaT MR30 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Yeh thats the one, except now i have 17s on it and its about 2 inches or more lower. scrapes like shit everywhere what have i done to it lately? well i had a commodore up my ass a few weeks back they thought id be a good spit roast, my car thought otherwise. still waiting on a fix (about $6000 worth of fix) i am probably going to be selling these wheels soon if your interested (the 17s) to fund some new projects Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/20652-car-show-august/page/2/#findComment-479240 Share on other sites More sharing options...
floody Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 17s hey.Not the wheels in your avatar? I'm not a khrome fan.... Maybe, give us a PM when you know, No promises though. I might keep saving my pennies for a set of 16x8.5" Buffy club P1's and some semi slicks, and a red top rb20det (yeh silver's better, but it just seems more "right" fitting the red top in the 31). That sucks though, bloody commodores... What happened to the simmons' wheels? cheers, floody Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/20652-car-show-august/page/2/#findComment-480107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHaT MR30 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 I fitted some different brake pads to it, and the calipers locked on the rim of the simmons, so they are just sitting here, well they were on my bluey for a while and i used them at the drags. yeh the 17s are the ones in the avitar. im not a fan of chromeys anymore either. COPY CAT! hehe i am going to buy some 17x8 P1s they are a damn good wheel for the money oh and my car runs a worked L28E not the normal L24E fuzza Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/20652-car-show-august/page/2/#findComment-481548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHaT MR30 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Ive gotta get my rear end modified though, cos i currently have about 4 degrees camber and major toe out problem, which is eating through tyres fast! (common problem with lowering IRS dattos) easy fix costs about $4-500 fully adjustable Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/20652-car-show-august/page/2/#findComment-481565 Share on other sites More sharing options...

floody Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 What size are the simmons? if they are 15s I might be interested in them. Just got a $2000 quote for my body damage though might have to set the RB20 plans back a fair while methinks! cheers, floody Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/20652-car-show-august/page/2/#findComment-481691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

floody Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Light tap in the nose, no chassis damage, needs a front bar, left guard, left light and some sheetmetal on the inner guard where the guard panel mounts up straightened,and a tiny bit of straightening on about 1" of the left bonnet corner (it folded down the lip on the edge) plus paint. It drives and handles fine, no different to before the accident (ie quite good). But I just can't be stuffed fixing it ATM, so I think I might sell up. cheers, floody Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/20652-car-show-august/page/2/#findComment-484256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
