Hi Victor,

You'll be fine mate, our cars naturally camber negative when lowering so u will find that those wheels that look like they're sticking out actually tuck in once lowered.

i just wanted a different look...too many bigger and nicer gtc's out there at the moment >_<

Hi Roy,

so I am guessing you selling your GT-C? :D Your's look good already, black on gold. Still the only one in WA.

With lowering, I won't be doing it yet because 1. my driveway is abit high and even now with lower profile tyres and big lip kit, I have to go up slow. 2. my other daily car, Mitsubishi Mirage, is on 17's and rub when having 3 people in the car, so can't risk with my V rubbing if I have to have 3 people in the car. I will be tempted when I get another daily.

So with the cruise, do you know when you heading back out yet? Can you still make the cruise?

what wheels were you running?

Intensive Hunks

19x9.5" +17 245/35/19 Tyres

19x11" +10 275/30/19 Tyres

with lowered springs fronts sat flush and rear were poking out about 8-10mm.

Coilovers

thanks for the pics bee ...i never intended going coilovers and with 10.5 +0 offset, it would poke +4mm more ...so its a tad too much poke for my liking.

ur last pic with the coilovers is good flushness ...but i can't see going over any road humps riding that low.

same here mate, trying to convince the other half that an evo 9 is actually a better family car. Had a look at a couple already but importing one in may be a better option.

decided to hold off on the wheels for now coz after looking at the flushness of ur wheels, the ones I was looking at would stick out 22mm more...too much poke and would require a lot of roll/pull and maybe -3.5 to -4 camber

i dont think you can import the 9.i had the 7.5 before and signed up evo oz. i read a thread on there and apparently 9 was not available for importing since adm ones were sold here locally.

i never really liked the evo because i had the gta which was auto/tip but just recently has a test drive in an 8mr, adm9 i just fell in love.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
