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!

Just a lazy 5600+rwkw! What turbo did you end up with? Must be insane to drive :D

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

Looking mad is worth heaps more dude :D I just dont want massive flares on wheels that only just sit outside the guards, will look homo.

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??

Yeah I'm only running 9" and 255. I kind just need a 20mm flare which is hard to find as that's usually bolt on overfender territory which i don't like.

Go massive flares, do a giant burnout to ruin the new rubber you have, hit a gutter and destroy those rims.

Buy new larger rims and rubber. 

You're welcome, I'm a solutions man. 

I've only driven it on 20psi and that was 4th gear hit on the freeway. I haven't turned it up yet! Quick enough lol

It's a 6466 T4 twin scroll. Fantastic response for 4 cylinder and makes top power. There's still heaps more in it but I'm happy for now.

Looked at some pics over the weekend and think I prefer to look of rolled/flared guards vs bolt on flares. 

Spoke to panel beater and he said we can easily pull/flare enough to get the coverage but expect the paint to crack, as Hadouken said. 

Given I wouldn't mind painting it later anyway and the rest of the car is already covered in blemishes, I will probs go that way.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
