Looking good! So what offsets work on the 8 in rims? Different front and rear?

The width is actually 8.5", and the offset is 45. they sit nicely just a smidge behind the guards. The 235/30 tyres are a bit too slim for my liking, so probably will swap to 235/35 down the track. 

Connected my phone to the factory Bluetooth.  Phone controls on the wheel work too. Noticed the voice recognition understands English but you need to know the names of the menus.......  Anyone got more experience?

Installed MCA Street Performance Series coilovers, Driftworks front upper camber arms (approx. -6 deg in front and -5 deg in rear), Garson Deep Racing Ryugi wheels on the front in 18x11 -22 (have to re-lip the rears from 18x12.5 -22 to the same specs as the front before I can run them), painted brake callipers and installed a sub and amp. Nothing too major but its a start on my static VIP-inspired build.

Brake upgrade on the front completed, they're only little 8pots, 4pots to go on the rears once bracketry is sorted for diameter and offset. 

And finally able to get new rims fitted now that brakes are done and allow clearances

You need to up the boost to 10 psi

Will look much like this just tidied up. I have to clean up the clear lenses to go over the front to seal it. The light bar is custom from my company I had. They are about 4 times brighter than the stock high beam. The strip across the top is daytime running light and indicator in one. The halos are park lights so will come on with the auto headlights. The flashing lights in the sides are just for when the cars on show. 

It is very hard to recreate the mounting points for the stock HID as I have cut 2 of the 3 off to fit the light bar

Any link to where to get that day time running light? Looks like its made out of silicon?

Aliexpress

Had to cut holes into the panel to wrought the light. It's too long and to attach you need to buy double sided tape and I drilled holes through to use some wire to make sure it doesn't come off.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
