1. 1983 Mazda 626 - slug, but never let me down. Cramped.

2. 1992 Mazda 626 - even slower! awful gearbox, crap motor, smoothish ride, had air-con at least...

3. 1996 EF Falcon - much better to drive, pretty reliable until I did a head gasket.. lots of single legger burnouts

4. 1992 Soarer GTTL - mines, ecu, 3inch dump back, trust springs, mines ecu, GCG turbos @ 14psi, Torsen LSD - freakn rocket ship, blew diffs like no tomorrow (went through 3 of them)

5. 1973 XB Falcon Coupe - my baby, bought it for $900 when I was 15 and still own it. 351, 750dp, 2v close chambers, big hydro cam, tricked C4, 3000 stall, 3.7s 9inch Detroit tru-trak

6. 2003 350GT coupe - bought it only 3 months ago. TIen springs, 19s, exhaust, JWT popcharger, plenum spacer going on next week

On a pretty steady upgrade path over the years haha. The 92 mazda was my biggest regret

1 - 1988 R31 Skyline - hand me down, first car, you know how it is ;-)

2 - 1988 R31 Skyline - 1 owner grandpa car, ended up painted, turbo'd, R34 brakes, coilovers, work wheels etc

3 - 1988 R31 Skyline - death trap - forged RB30ET with GT35/40 and manualised auto w/3k stall. did a 12.6 and but nearly killed me one night as the stock brakes were so bad I went straight through a red light intersection trying to pull it up.

4 - 1994 Lexus LS400 - VIP'd with coilovers, deep dish Leon Hardiritt's and Jap exhausts

5 - 2001 Stagea RS4-s - Good mods, good suspension, good wheels, great car - BAD fuel bills.

6 - 2001 BMW 525 Msport - awesome car, looked great, rode nice - but no power and stressful to own wondering what was going to break next!

7 - 2008 Mazda MPS - 200kw atw and over 400nm of torque through the front wheels. Little rocket ship that surprsises everyone. But close range 6 speed is a nightmare in traffic - currently for sale.

8 - 2006 V35 Coupe......that's the plan!

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
