  1. i may be completly wrong, its happend before....amazing i know
  2. i know what u mean, its happened to me a few times in diffrent auto cars. mayb something to do with torque converter or watever? myt not actually be anything wrong
  3. yeh i duno if they are lol. the guy said they may have been off a early rx7, but when someone asked what pcd they are, he said 108. for 50 buks its worth a try. if they dont fit ill just sell them, no biggie
  4. sorted it out with the dude that i can get them next week on my way up. thanks for the offers tho guys, really appreciated
  5. well i got some rims, 15" with 205s on the back haha so im definitly going to need some flaring. anyne know of a place in chch that does it. myt have to wait till after the summer holidays as i wont b with my car
  6. just got these bad boys on trademe.......15 inch with 4 wofable tyres...50 buks haha. not 100% sure on stud pattern but meh for 50 buks its worth a try. they in levin so ill grab them on my way home to the tron, which means i wont be able to try them till next year ah well i can just lay in bed at night and dream of it...cough cough lol. so yeh i rekon they guna look fukn sweet with the matt black, myt have to keep it black lol. 99% sure ill have to roll/flare the guards but meh im stoked
  7. hey there. just brout a set of rims and tyres of trademe, they are in levin and the guy wants them picked up asap. im travelling home from chch to hamiltron next week, and will be passing through levin on wednesday(ie next week), and if this is too late for me to get them off him (ill find out) i was hoping that someone could grab them over the next few days and hold onto them until i come through? beverages will be provided for your efforts. if anyone can help that would be great, like i said ill find out if he can just keep them till next week. cheers
  8. yeh i was thiking that, but i dont wana like get some rims and then not get them to fit, but i spose it cant be that hard. chur man oh btw jonas is out of hospital now lol hes all gud. now alowd to do aything more than walk fore 6 weeks tho lol and hes got a cast on his arm.
  9. not sure exactly, but ive tried some 13x6 hotwires with 185/70s, and the guards just sit on the side of the tyres so yeh. kinda wana open my options up a bit by having enough room at the back to tuck some wheels up, as its prety low (3" drop + 30 yrs of sag lol). it has 185/80s on there now, on standard steelies, and its perfect. the offest must just be ideal.
  10. hey peeps. thinking about getting the guards rolled/flared on the hunter, so i can fit some bigger wheels on it. anyone reccomend where to go? also, can anyone tell me how much extra width you can get from rolling/flaring them? i need probably a inch lol cheers
  11. so yeh i had an exam yesterday morning and it was fukn shit so i came home and was like fuk this im guna paint the car. 7 cans latter lol...hea r the results. its a bit rough but i rekon it looks hepas better than gay primer, and looks way tougher too lol
  12. hmmmm i had a friend come round today... his name is mathew......mathew black....mwuahahahaha. pics tomoro
  13. haha i know how you feel. i spent about 2 hours trying to get my car going once after it had been sitting. checked plugs, carb, fuel etc etc, then finally reasiled that the lead from the coil to the dizzy had fell off.....my bad lol.
  14. yeh i think its just the offset a, cause its a 185 tyre on the back (not huge obviously but yeh). tried some sweet hotwires the other day with whitewalls. once the car was dropped back down the guards were like sitting on the tyres, and that as only with the 2inch drop. ah well, just have to keep rocking the steelys. going to get them powdercoated white when/before/after i paint the car, so should look alright, and polish the hub caps up so they all blingin lol. found a weber sidedraught manifold the other day (ive got the cast head so yeh, like finding half a needle in a haystack lol) dude wants 300 buks for it and that $USD. i think i just have to accept its slow and always will be unless i put a new engine in haha
  15. any thoughts on its final stance?. i really really really want some rims for it but nothing ive tried so far fits under the back guards, the offsett is always wrong. mayb next year when i have some coin ill get them rolled and try jam something up under them. the balloon tyres done really do it for me a haha. i want a look similar to gaz's (i think) cortina at the rear before it got bunged up. amazes me how many people stop to talk to me about it, i think 99% of them are over 50 lol its awesome...i remember when....blah blah blah....oh havnt seen one of those in years...blah blah....the ol' billy bunter a? (lol that one cracked me up) ....u can tow a 18ft caravan with those things...hmmm thats good to know lol
  16. quick pic of how it sits now with the new blocks. the other side is actually lower at the back by bout 2cm lol and it was the side that was to high before lol go figure. pretty stoked with how its turned out, i dont think id want it much lower, it hits the bump stop easily at the back so i myt trim that i bit. so it went from this (when i first had it) to this (how it sits now) it will stay like this for a while now as i have exams then im headin back up to thr tron for summer, but il get into painting it as soon as i get back, thie is the paint ive got, chevy/GMC light blue metallic so yeh thats it for a bit. fuk i wish i had 4 weeks to spend on the car instead of studying.....

    rims are sweet man, and the smoked lights are a nice touch!!
  19. cheers man just lowerd it more yesterday, looks so sweet now. whats flags? cheers
  20. hey guys. just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of somewhere that i have a chance of gettin a wof with my hunter. its got compressed springs (are captive as) and 3 inch blocks in the back. i have 2 inchs ones that i can swap over but i cant be arsed. so yeh, does anyone know of somewhere that are a bit leneant ie look the other way? everything else is all good, is got a wof at the mo so yeh, just dont want spend what i payed for the car getting it certed lol. im in riccarton but dont mind taking a drive. chur chur
  21. another study break...lol. now have 3 inch blocks in the back, has about 1-2 inches of travel before it the diff hits the bump stop hmmmm myt have to trim it a bit. ill get some pics up when my gf gets home with her camera
  22. haha fair call. would also save me buying bigger lowering blocks which i plan on...hmmmm haha
  23. not much of an update, but ive done a bit of tidying up on the car. tracked down some more hubcaps so ive got a complete set now. have been tring on mags left right and centre, and the offset is always wrong, and the tyres wont tuck under the guards. so i think i myt keep the steelies and hubcaps, and drop the back another inch or two, probably just one otherwise itl be sitting on the bumpstop. heres a few more pics. cheers quite like this one haha old skool represent
  24. lol would id be worth being seen with a whale in the back seat just to have a even car?
  25. hmm now that ive driven it around a bit, the high side is actually leveling out. i sprayed crc all over the leaves, so mayb they have settled properly after me moving the little things that hold them in place. yay for me. going to look at some hotwires tonight, with whitewalls
