Boner town. 

 

 

[Hadouken]

They look good

[admS15]

Yeah baby

[No Crust Racing]

Now to see how well they fit and start work on guard flaring/bolt on flares to accommodate. 

 

 

 

 

[Hadouken]

Where did you get your kangs from?

[No Crust Racing]

Down a back alley. I'm still sore...

[No Crust Racing]

Rims look slightly less shit with better tyres on them.

Have had a shitful cold all last week and given what's on my agenda this week, I spent most of the weekend specifically dedicated to trying to kick it.

 

Didn't get a heap done on the car but did manage to get the splitter to a point where I'm happy.

 

Ran some M8 all thread down through the inner guards and lined up with the existing holes in the bottom of the guards and into the splitter. Seems a lot firmer now.

 

Added some little gurney flaps on each side, see if that helps at all.

 

I'll try and get stuck into the wheels a bit more this week.

So, car looks fat now, I love it. 

I put a vote to my mates and the consensus seems to be centre caps yes, stickers no, which I'm inclined to agree with, though there is something I like about no caps. 

Guard flaring required looks less dramatic when i put the rim back to -3.5 camber, but I still want clearance to be able to lower the camber for tuning purposes. That will be the next step. 

Inner clearance is less than a finger width, but I can't see the tyre moving around that much?

Inner guard plastics are going to get gobbled up a little and the passenger side has my BOV and a vac hose that's at risk, I might have to drop a little castor out.

When are you sorting that homo poke out?

[Hadouken]

They actually don't sit far outside the guards

[No Crust Racing]

Yeah it's not quite as bad as I thought.

I'm flat out with work and home stuff but I'll try and line up my panel beater to come take a look and see if a guard flare will be enough. I can get a guard roller easily.

A small bolt on flares could be easier, and maybe look cool?

I can only find big bolt ons, like 40mm.

Hey Dan! Just read the thread. Car is coming along nicely and looking pretty good! GTR project also looks great!

Great to see you picked up the AR1's. Will be interesting to see the difference, I'm betting it will be substantial to your previous setup. I've read they are very good and was considering them in the 295 size.

Will watch on with interest [emoji4][emoji106]

Hey mate, Long time no see

How is your project coming along?

[SRS13]

Yeah mate been a while! Have had so many things on the go recently. I'm os at the moment on holiday.

The car made 512rwk on 34psi with full boost at 4300rpm on JEM dyno (conservative tune) so quite happy!

Still more things to do as there always is. Plan on taking it to the track soon, hence the AR1 interest. All in time!

[Anfanee]

Definitely do bolt on flares Dan. Will look Mad. Looking mad is worth at least what... 10%? 

[SRS13]

I've done the bolt on flares on my car Dan. It fits the 10.5 wide wheels with 295. I think they are 40 and 50mm or 50 and 60mm??

Don't know why the pic is upside down and don't know how to delete the above blank post!

 

As you can see I only have the enkei on the rear wheels in this pic... I have always liked the bolt on flare... personal preference!

It's because the photo was taken in Australia duh.
