Oh snap! Godfather rims baby!. 18x8.5" in the front, 18x9.5" at the back. Hoping to stretch some 215/35/18's in the front and 225/40/18's in the back. I might hit up Option1Garage for some Cum-ho's.

Has anyone had any issues fitting this size on a cef in terms of rubbing and stuffs?

Also just bought a Grace bodykit from Erin @ JDM Garage up here in brissy. Needs a bit of work and some paint before it goes on.

yeah I know... "Rollin on Tweeeens bitches" doesn't quite have the same effect tho.

Well technically I bought it for my dad (hence the auto trans), then I got it back off him after he wrote it off. So I guess its my car now.

when did he write it off, u mean that lil scuff on the front bar back then?

lol

far as i no mite need to mod the rear bar wheel arches a lil if your gonna run a body kit

looking the goods

some lady back into a 3 lane road while he was comin down it at 70... radiator panel took the brunt of it, and the right fender. bonnet was pushed up. Insurance co wrote it off, I bought it back, fixed it up at Driftline, welded in a new rad panel, replaced all the broken parts, re-engineered and now back on the road.

hey

how you going

looking at the stick out of them, i have rims with similar amount of stickout

the tyres you specified will go fine without guard rolling - speaking from experience here

looks the goods man

ummm its this kit... which is a Grace kit from what I can tell, but some people seem to think its the mythical Autech S2 kit, and other think its a TBO kit.

rolled the lip on the guards and fitted the wheels up today. realised that my rear's are sporting some gangster toe in's will have to fix soon.

Huge thanks to dave for taking a few hours to roll my guards. Very nice finish.

Car sits about 7cm off the ground... with 3 people in the car the exhaust hangs about 2cm off the ground... gonna have to do some remedial surgery on the mounts this weekends.

Flushhhhhhhhh

Pants tighten everytime you look in the side mirror and just see the edge of the wheel chillin outside the guard.

3411414688_efc6a4ab30_b.jpg

Flushhh FAIL in the front by about 1.5cm. Didn't realise that the guard would flex so much when rolled. will need to get longer bolts and space it out or buy more Godfathers... MOAR GODFATHERS!!!1!

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
