Nah, once on FTG road, and once on burwood hwy

Hmm... Saw it 3 times in Blackburn, may be same car perhaps?

I'm stuck home - my R is broken again, this time radiator fan is cracked...

Need a daily driver, any suggestions?

it looks great, around thomastown/ lalor area

edit: i told me ex's aunt to get one when she turned 19 and got her p's.. wonder if she went thru with it.. her bro drives a gallardo so maybe

you wanted aggressive fitment, Rekin runs pretty mild fitment.

the reason why his scrubbed is:

A: he was running a big tyre

B: his guards werent roll enough/right

C: his suspension was too soft

with 17x9 +20 u will be running a 215/45, hard suspension, then u will go at ur guards, just enough to make them fit (rolling and slight pulling in areas). when i talk about stock guards there i mean rolled guards as it's kind of a given if u want any sort of aggressive fitment. u wont need to flare to get a 17x9 +20 under.

17x9 +16 225/45

Yeah wasnt aware that you were after aggressive fitment. Mild fitment is 17x9 +30, anything more will require some guard work. Be it rolling or flarring.

All options are correct. Bilstein suspension setup. No stupidly hard JDM yo' suspension found here.

17x8 +30 on 225/45 seems to be the limit before rolling is required on the front. (thats with my bilstein setup that is)

the circlip adjustment is just the start of ur woes, the biggest problem is they use the standard hats, by having the top spring seat sitting down so low, ur spacing the suspension up, lifting ur car effectively.

u need to turn this:

into this:

Where do I get those hats from? Look much nicer than the 18yr old standards hats im using..

this.

mallet and dolly that shit, then hit it with paint. hell, just a simple roll will do if you wanna go princess spec and get you some extra clearance.

asking pat for fitment and stance advice is like asking the pope about what type of condom gives the wimmins the most pleasure.

haha nice call. It all comes down to your suspension setup and size of tyre willing to use.

I have 255/40's on my 17x9 +30's with -0.5deg camber so there is a bit of poke on the rear. Will need to ether drop down to a 235/245, moar low and camber. Dont think the 255's will fit unless guards are flarred. Already have adjustable rear camber and adjustable circlips on the rear. Got an EPA to worry about first though :P

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
