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

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
