Hi Guys,

Car goes into the painters tonight and the wheels have been ordered.

Will be rolling the guards before I drop it off.

I know not many people on here will be a fan but thought i would update with the progress anyway.

Wheels are Zenetti Mascurade in 20x8.5 on the fronts and 20x10's on the rear.

These should fill up the guards and are not too over the top.

Wheels come with removable accents on the spokes, these will be painted the same colour as the car. will probably drive it without them all the time and just put on for show or cruises etc.

Personally, not a fan of the wheels, but going off what you described in the other thread about the paint, i think it would work and will look quite good

What offsets you going with? reason i ask is I know a lot of the Ozzy wheels don't have offsets ideal for these cars.

Curious how much as well, cause as an example i got my Volk SF Challenge for around $3k from Japan, 19" with rubber worth $900 per corner, and over 80% tread. Oh and not a mark on the wheels.

Took a fair bit of time to find them, but definitely worth it.

Oh and the most import thing - Pics when it's done :-)

Hey the rims look good... However you dont need to roll up your guard because they will fit. i have zenetti kaiotik 20 by 8.5 and 20 by 10's at the back. However i had to add spacers to get the right off set. Especially for the front. I reckon the best fit would be 20 by 9.5 front and 20 by 10.5 rears.... with an off set of about 20-25.. Im not sure about the offset on my rims or yours but somewhere between 20-25 should be good.

Whatever you do, just don't get really low profile tyres... lol. It is a pain, from spotting when the tyre is punctured to scraping the outer rim due to tight roundabouts or what not raises on the ground.

Yeh.. i know what you mean I had a flat tyre and drove on it without realising that it was flat. I had to replace the tyre which was still new :--(

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
