Fun Fact! Camel spiders are classified under the class of Arachnida but they are not actually spiders, they are of the Solifugae order which is Latin for 'flee from the sun.' They are not poisonous but can bite out of self defence... Nothing to be scared of Aaron!

still scared

My kids love shit like camel spiders, scorpions, anything like that, usually do minibeasts as a life and living topic.

I can confirm I was also interested in the above

And always collected those insect magazines where they give you a piece and you need to collect the series to build you spider/scorpion

+2 I had 20s on my ford and the ride didn't feel right, went 19s and fatter tyres feels much better and better traction

+1 get 19s and low

Have heard the LM reps are prone to cracking...

go the varrstoen 19's

Ahhh shieeett. I'm crazy keen on the BBS look though. Trying to replicate the ol' 33 with BBS haha

I've got 20s now and even though it's a bit rough, still not too bad. Maybe to do with tyre profile cos my VE came standard with 19s so on 20s, still a fair bit of meat on the tyres (kinda lol).

I messaged Varrstoen asking if they would do the TE37 (2.2 I think they are) in 20" for me but ahven't got a response yet. If they did, I'd be ALL over it. But until then, still keen on the BBS LMs. Otherwise, it's back to Lenso D1Rs or some generic concave design :(

Good luck in getting a reply from Varrstoen

I've send messages in the past with never a reply, even a sms to the guy

Neither do sharks and they'll still bite your f**kin head off

no they wont.... sharks only have a nibble to see if you are digestible.

they will take a soft bite and assess the bone to flesh ratio, once they see that humans are shit to eat they swim off.

only real problem is that a sharks soft nibble will still f**k you up

Ah that sounds cool! We make mini beasts out of various materials and hang them from the ceiling or pin onto the back wall which we is made into different environments, desert/rainforest/bush.

That's shit as. Thanks for the heads up, won't be holding my breathe for their reply then :cheers:

Does he have a vendetta for BBS LM reps?

That and Dinsosaurs

I wanted to be a Paleontologist when I was a kid...and now I'm an Accountant :/

Yeah don't expect a reply, also goes to show if you have any issues with shipment or your product it's unlikely to get resolved

I think other people in the past have had issues with communication

Don't think I've ever cared for insects, and don't think I ever will.

Insects are pretty cool, they've been around for around 350 million years and for example ants can lift and carry 50 times their own body weight!

Does he have a vendetta for BBS LM reps?

Nah just D1R fanboy.

Also, my mate recently bought some Varrstoens... And from order to delivery it all happened quite smoothly and quickly from what I could tell... not sure who he went through though, so possibly not actually Varrstoen but a dealer... So I dunno about custom values... But otherwise can ask who he went through?

But they're creepy crawlies! :P

no he thinks that D1R's are tits

Hmmm they have good wheels but the poor service alone is enough to turn me off. Had no idea their communication was that bad. Again, thanks for the heads up. You Ford owners are lucky cos you guys have the same stud pattern as Nissans :(

I have a simple formula flow-chart that I employ when it comes to these things:

Does it have more than 4 legs? ------> (YES) ------> Does it have more than 2 eyes -------> (YES) ---------> Does it pay rent ------> (NO) ------> Kill it.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
