I'm glad im not the only one that think half these cars have shithouse offsets. 10 degrees of negative camber, a 215 stretched tire on a 11" rim with the entire wheel tucked under flared gaurds that scrub and spin the whole way through second gear with 140rwkw because there is 2cm of tire touching the road just really doesn't do it for me. I agree some look tuff to look at parked up, but to actually drive them around in a performance car i don't understand the point.

Funnily enough its the same people that you hear about saying they can't get traction through three gears on stock power outputs.

hence why drifters stretch tires.

to do what your talking about a wide body would be the way to go have something big with proper tire fitment sitting flush.

There is no point. I for one am not that ignorant to think it’s a constructive “mod”. It serves no purpose other than aesthetic.

The ride is far worse, the tire wear is obviously far worse; you cannot turn anymore than half lock, and if you make any attempt to corner hard the rims more often than not grab the guards.

Personally, I think a car looks ridiculous with “sunken” rims, it looks tacky with the gap often left.

These “drifters” are just copying the Euro guy’s from the early 90’s and late 80's :blink:

Viva the early VW/Porsche/BMW "tuners" :P

Oh no doubt, however you can get a good offset matched with some proper tyres that sit nicely. I don't mind the tyres sticking out of the gaurds slightly, i like that look. However half the rim sticking out with stretched tyres tucked underneath with ridiculous camber just isn't my thing. Thats the joys of doing what we do though, every car is different and every one has different tastes.

its hard to find a balance, but it is possible...

i sit my rims about 15mm out of the guards, and then stretch and roll to fit... however i also have the tyres set up 100% for performance first, i.e. near flat camber on the rears, and a tiny bit more on the front, i also run a lil +ve castor. cant remember the exact figures as i did it 2 years ago and am so happy with it that i haven't had to change it

with 300rwkw i couldn't possibly have a setup that killed the traction just for looks.

With the exception of a car dragging its sideskirts on the ground I doubt there is anything that would catch the eye of a copper faster than some of the above posted ridiculous setups.

As for aestheitics I can see where you're coming from Josh. Its some kind of competition to see who can have the ugliest setup isnt it. :P

Far out Trent, back in port G days. Remember the days back when D1 garage was down the rd from my work and i could hear u guys come sliding onto mooringe then into the shop lol. Until Vahoumos (sp) wiped out a power generator to half the block :banana:

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
