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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
