Zoid's Gts Build

[zoidbergmerc]

I like those new wheels, I reckon they look good as they are but to match the Lenso's would look better with the red lip. What brake pads were you using?

EBC Greens were in there before, I wouldn't recommend them for anything more than a swiftly driven daily.

Hey Pete if you didn't already know its really easy to add a stripe to the wheels. You can either buy some red pin stripe or cut a pice out of vynal. It can just be a strait pice. As you put it on the wheel it will flex as such and turn a strait line into a curved line. So no need to paint it or cut out round stripes. I have done this neumerous times to wheels on a race car I used to look after.

Thanks Damo! I'll give that a go.

Yeah, I can vouch for EBC's not being suited to any sort of track use.

I had these on my daily driven Liberty, took it to the track, and cooked the pads, to the point where the backing plate that sits against the brake pistons were warped out of shape (not to mention caliper slide seals catching on fire, etc).

Nice wheels too, BTW.

[zoidbergmerc]

side skirts? yes, no maybe? i'm thinking white or carbon wrap.

[DJRIFT]

yes white.

will make it look gangsta high if it is black (carbon)

[Autumn33]

+1 yes and white

[zoidbergmerc]

it might have to be white then.

Also, I think I need these.

1. because the teenager in me that played waaaaaaaaay too much Need for Speed thinks they're hilariously awesome.

2. It'd make it possible to open the doors when it's on the trailer and I can get out of the car without bending like gumby!

Spend the money on a trailer that fits?

[zoidbergmerc]

$6k for a new trailer that fits... $800 hinges...

[zoidbergmerc]

Those hinges open 60% outwards first, how much clearance you got

[DJRIFT]

they would be cool pete.

and 6K for a trailer is dreaming. plenty of cheaper ones about. and not your average ones. ones to accomodate low cars and low sides to open doors ect.

[rb1994]
