still trying to work out a way to lower it more without major scrapeage, and without massive camber as tyres aint cheap these days.

Does anyone here with these "fitments" actually track their cars?

and by track I dont mean drift?

Its all very well bagging out people with safe / conservative offsets..but if you are jumping ripple strips having a bee's dick of clearance to the guards and 10deg neg camber just isnt going to work, nor is having a 215 tyre streched onto a 10" wide rim.

*awaits all the "hella flush" fan boys to say OMFG your car is so shit you have +22 offsets on an 8" rim with 235 tyres, you should get 50mm spacers and 185s!!12131!!ty*

nice question to ask in a thread about flush fitment and style. what do you think the answer is genius?

this is about visuals. if you want safe and trackable, there's another thread, no a whole section for it. GTFO and stop trolling.

i do.

semi slicks front for skids

semi slicks all round for grip

stockies rear for motorkhanas

the tyres do scrub, but with a good alignment the grip and overall feel is very good.

i dont have my car scraping on the ground (yet :P) nor do i run crazy camber, so its OK for now... im currently modifying my guards to suit the wheel travel so should be all good once done.

i do all sorts of driving in my car including hillclimbs and track... i don't really ever drift it as it's had too much money spent on it, and drifting breaks shit... that's what the pig is for :P

true, we do motorkhana days on our stretched tyre fitment wheels, granted its flat, smooth ground so no need to worry about ripple strips etc, but there's still suspension travel and pressure distribution on tyres. Never really had an issue. I've got 215's on an 8.5 and 225's on a 9.5, which is just a moderate stretch, just gives me enough of a stretch to tuck in under a rolled guard. As for spring rates, I've got 10 in front and 8 in back, so there's not much travel. That said, its not exactly a comfy road car.

are bolt on guards illegal in sa ??

and what about making it wider like stretching fenders :S

i really wanna know more about wheel fitment regarding law

Yeh man... mine are flared 30mm underneath the bolt on flares, bolt ons are 50mm. went through regency last Monday no problems.

As long as you don't cut the metal underneath it you can bolt your bed to it if you wanted to.

Problem with big wheels and good fitment is that you put your wheels out of legal "track" allowed for the vehicle, therefore you must get them engineered. But then again that depends on how crazy you wanna go. Ill never be able to engineer mine.

where did you get your roof spoiler from dude??? ive been loking for one for aaaagggeeeessss. the car looks tough!

Yeah little R31house foil decal on the drivers side of the boot. Fronts I haven't even rolled the guards, rear guards are rolled flat but not flared, side strips are trimmed to half depth and the metal behind them is folded to half width down to about 3" above the sills; biggest issue was rubbing in the front of the wheelarch around where the trim is. Have close to 1" clearance to the suspension inwards.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • 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.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
