I've got Saturday off, hit me up, it's gonna be a nice day. Maybe GOR? :P

yeh i got work till afternoon like 2ish i think :/

Yes of course, each to their own. Some people have style, others don't.... they stick with the norm. I pity those people.

Cars are like fashion. Some people like shopping at Big W and others enjoy designer brands. I modify my car to suit my style/personality.

Goodluck, Can't wait to see the Cube.

salvo's style ftw!

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

i made them on the lathe, couldnt find anything off the shelf that suited what i wanted. u can buy tein uppers, but they are rose jointed i think, which is pretty much useless on a road car. and im not sure if ur coils are the same OD.

any tyre shop that sells wheels should have them.

wouldnt worry about price, for the effort and fuel, it's not gonna make much difference, few $$ max.

for custom's it ran me $140

for the bob jane specials it was like $25

do a ring around first, as many places have no f**king idea what they are, it took me 3 visits to get them from bj's

Decided to sell my 20mm spacers.. Not worth all the hassle. Going to try for a 5mm (just a normal one).

what hastle?

I tried to get a set for teh cef, and no one could get em, so I just went down to the wheel shop down the road from the workshop and the guy milled four out of chromolly for me on the lathe. cost me $30 in materials, a can of coke and a burger with the lot for his lunch.

yeh.... cenreline did mine as the car was already there.... so i paid the centreline tax :laugh:

Flaring the guards, respraying it if it cracks etc.

Plus it'll affect the handling too much. The MR2 boys talked me out of it.

spacers take the shear weight off the hub studs = bad for studs

you get heaps more chicks without spacers

fact

ill be very surprised if an average girl would even know what spacers are.. :laugh: ..the girls who are highly involved with cars would know but not others...so ill like to challenge your fact :D

this.

you know what, fuck it. listen to your cock jockey mr2 fanboy mates. just picture your wheel rolling off in another direction as you corner, followed by a massive scraping sound as your brake disc/control arm/sump grinds into the asphalt. cos it could happen anytime with that setup.

for some reason i have spacers in my car...i agree spacers are gay...get fat wheels instead...hehehe...

Too late lol. I already have all my wheels :laugh: Fronts poke out heaps and rears are tucked in lol

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
