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.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
