sold my work equip anhelos on thursday just gone.

very sad.

but decided itd be a better idea to have a matching set of 6 wheels.

so i plan on buying 6 XXR 531's in 17x9+25 all round

so i thought id better test fit a 9" wheel to the front.

this is a 17x9+38 with a 25mm bolt on spacer.

oh and they actually rocked up yesturday.

unfortunately its gonna be a while before i can get them fitted up as i was in a car accident on saturday just gone and my daily driver was written off.

so all my spare money i had aside for the laurel has gone to buy a new daily.

not happy. but hopefully the insurance company of the guy that hit me wont take to long to pay me.

yeah i did.

turns out i shouldnt own r31s. have written three off in not at fault accidents.

a mate came round yesturday and test fitted my modded knuckles for me.

gonna have to spend a bit of money gettin everythin to clear now. hits everywhere haha.

.... havent got lock stops on my arms. currently hits the castor rod and the inner well at the back. haha. and arms are binding.\

turns out the knuckles ive bought are freakin insane also,

they actually run reverse ackerman by the looks of it.. and are extremely quick.

should be interesting. i predict a shit load of spins happening. haha

im only running stock arms at the moment, thats probably got a fair bit to do with it id imagine. haha

its not actually hitting the inner well at the moment. i havent got tyres fitted to the XXRs yet. we just mounted one of them to see what i was likely to hit,

will be getting tyres fitted in the new year. at the moment im not even allowed to touch a car because of the bloody crash.

i would but this is basically gonna be driven on the street maybe a couple times a year,

and after spending this year in the passenger seat of my mates 180 track car. i really want a pair of sparco seats.

i still found that on the track with the recaros i was having to brace myself on the centre console/door. admittedly I haven't installed my harness yet, but I figure someone else might as well put the road legal recaros to good use.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
