Yeah the low/mid range on them is fking awesome, I could floor it in second in the wet and it'd hit full boost at 2500 revs and just crab down the road. All it had was soft as Tein Type NAs, Cusco sway bars, cooler, exhaust, brutal Cusco clutch and a massive alloy rad.

Some of the pro SA drift guys passengered with me for a few laps at the drift school and they couldn't believe how much torque it had. Around the back hairpin I'd be feathering it in 2nd with the speedo reading about 40-50ish (maybe 3000 rpm) then squeeze the throttle on the exit and the needle would swing out to 120 like it's nothing.

Aussie ended up swapping the 81 and cressy for it he liked it that much :)

Sell me your C piller trim :(

I'll put my interim wheel set up on it soon and it should look aight, and I'm gonna make it a bit of a mission to get it looking good enough to drive this week cause I'm fkn sick of the Lancer :P

But yeah gotta get back into a 100 hey.

Wooo she's back :D

Got the bumper sitting ok and bashed the left rear out as best I could and threw it all together and this is what I ended up with:

Ghetto fabulous :D

Needs a few little things as a result of sitting for so long, but overall it's pretty much back to a driveable state, although I'll be keeping a very low profile.

Ok interim wheel setup has fallen over slighty, teh centre bore on my Watanabes don't fit over the hubcentric bit on the spacers :D Good news is, they fit my other fronts, so I'm going to fit the stage 1 front set up and throw the BBS on the back for the time being :/

I have test fitted the SSRs on the front and all I can say is my predictions were spot on. 8j +20 with a 20mm spacer to make 8j +0, they hang out of the guards by a few cm, and clear the brakes perfectly - exactly what I ws after :D :D

I'll post pics later this arvo :)

Pictars as promised. The more I look at this the more I think I should keep it :)

Pretty stoked with how it's looking. When the 16 x 9s rock up I'll put them on the back and play with the height (and put the lip back on) and it should look pretty fking tough.

Okay, it's been a long time coming (you get that with sea mail) but finally, the wheel set up is complete. For the technically minded, the specs are as follows:

Front

16 x 8j +20 (with a 20mm spacer effecting an offset of 0) running a 205/45 tyre with ~3.5 * camber

Rear

16 x 9j +13 running a 205/50 with ~3* camber.

Now on the interesting bit...

PICS :(

Yeah I took it off after I went for a short drive and had to try and avoid those little reflective thingys for fear of ripping it off :(

Got a short vid of it cruising along with the lip and all and fk me it looks sooo tough (also got a vid of me busting a quick handbrake U turn in the main street, and it looked fking cool doing that too :D)

I went an took a few more pics today, as tomorrow she goes in to get some shit done (cradle bushes and lock spacers) and I'm putting the stockies back on and raising it to a ridiculous height so I can cruise around without fear of getting done :ermm:

Well, it's back to looking stockish now. R33 stockies, a smidge below standard height, looks pretty lame :P

Good thing though is it slides better than it did before :) got alloy cradle bushes put in and steering lock spacers. The cradle bushes mean it now spins up instantly instead of jerking around and the extra lock means I can use the throttle to play with rear grip and keep it in check/bring it back instead of hitting the end of the rack and having to spin to stop.

Also MUCH better for busting quick Ueys from a stand still :wub: :wub:

Will hopefully get a tune and service in the near future as I might be getting a new job which will require me to do some kays in it.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
