If I'm lucky I might just be able to order the outer rim halves from Work USA :)

Mmm...

Sounds good.

lawl.

FATNESS!

I am like this look too... except in a shiny anodized blue... mmmmm

product.jpg

will go nicely with the blue and black theme of the car :D

Not bad...

Would look decent and give an interesting colour scheme.

:huh:

First step is to buy the fail fitment 5x100 PCD S1's. Will sort the rest out later.

From what I gather, you are just doing that to get the wheels to fit the car then sort out the offset later yeah...

FATNESS!
Just noticed that the Audi is riding on some dirty big hub adapters. Weak.

exactly. as long as the inner wheel barrel and the centre fit the golf, then I can sort the rest out later. Also allows me to get max width, epic dish and custom offset all in one hit, not to mention the ability to paint/anodize in any colour combo I want. Might pull em apart and send em up to Craved in Syd.

LOL!

Ah well, anything to make it big and wide...

But yeah go all the way with wide wheels.

True that man!

Cuz the WORK Meister S1's are 2 or 3 piece, it allows you to swap / interchange how you want it.

just emailed the seller with a lowball amount :) lets hope he's desperate enough for cash moneh that he sells it to me cheap. Otherwise, gonna have to bid on the fuckers (FFFUUU)

Awesome!

You going through Yahoo JPN Autions?

You going through Yahoo JPN Autions?
yahuh.
LOL f**king tightass haha
lol don't hate. hatin's not pretty.
black n blue eh?
yup. once I'm done with the dub it's gonna look like I beat that bitch on the regular.

Wheels should cost about $1300 landed. New outer barrels should cost about $250 a pop. $100 to have em taken apart. $200 to have em powdercoated and anodised. $100 to reassemble. All up $2700 for a set of wheels that are perfect fitment and gangstalicious.

Just ordered suspension for $4000ish for both the 32 and the golf too.

$4700 all up in just stance mods. Fucking car only cost $5800.

Then there's the boser hood plate, Hella HID lights, Hella blacked out tails, debadged grille and paint. Haven't even figured out what all that will cost.... plus I haven't even touched the interior.

lol I like the reasoning I gave the woman...

me: "I'm buying a 2000 model, economical, sensible car which doesn't attract attention"

her: "why?"

me: "so I can daily it without getting hassled and not have to worry about maintaining it as much"

her: "and what mods are you doin to it?"

me: "epic stance, gangster fitment, paint, cosmetics, pod, exhaust, rom, stereo"

her: "so basically taking away all the economy, drive-ability, sensibility and reliability? and it's gonna get noticed everywhere it goes?"

me: "yes"

her: *facepalm*

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
