might bitch out and run 225's on it. I'm running 215's on 9.5" rears on the ceffy, and it handles just fine. With the golf though, I want a near 60 degree sidewall to tuck in under flared out guard lip. Golfs run a factory fender flare, then a lip. Most guys homo out and just leave it as it is and try and tuck shit under it. I wanna make that lip follow the angle of the fender, then make the tyre run parallel to it.

Anyways, got the wheels. Should cost about $1300 landed. I hope. Been ages (almost a year) since I bought a set of wheels, god knows what the price of shipping is these days... and I cbf waiting for a container.

who would've thunk a Subaru Legacy is perfect fitment for a VW Golf...

looks like a spitz of some kind

lol i've got wheels and I don't even know what colour the car is... apparently I've got a choice of two, one is blue and the other is silver. choices... lol I'll probably pick the one that is cleaner.

liking the idea of blue with silver chrome wheels though... probably end up respraying it black with some ghey off centre euro racing stripe.

this is the look i''m after... minus the overdone flat black... and the wierd bits on the front bumper... maybe a smidgen higher so i can kiss the fender with the rim instead of tucking the lot like a dirty minitrucker.

gonna be baller.....

soooooooooooo i've sorted out how to fit the wheels to my ke70.... and keep it slammed (15x8-9)

flare guards 2"

castor wheels forward 1"

xt130 lca's to camber it in around 1.5"

hacksaw the fronts of the guards around 3" forward

195's

the rears need a big flare + some stretch and that's that

also i'm puttting an s series rear end on there which will act like 2 x 10mm spacers

FFFUUU suspension for both the R32 and the Golf is gonna cost me a month's pay. FML.

funky fk that vw looks like shit fitment.

Yeah he's running a 5x100 PCD to 5x114.3 PCD adapter, and even then he's settled for the minitrucker look. The Meister's I got are 5x100 PCD and have maximum allowable offset. If my calculations are right it should poke out an inch so that I can flare the guard to cover it.

Oh - what hours you working this weekend/long w/e funkeh - i comes get PC bits :down:

dunno if I cbf working this weekend... I'll chuck the mobo in the boot of the car, so just tell me when you're free and I'll come see you.

yeh should look the goods what colour is the car?

fucked if I know, I haven't even seen the car yet. All I know is that its an MK4, and its petrol, and that its gonna cost $5000. My mate's handling the buying/sourcing. Needs a VIV, but we do that day in day out, no probs.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
