that would be the smallest i can go,lmao.i tried GT wheels(15x6.5) and they dont clear GTB calipers . PS:nice edit

id be interested to know as well,as i wana drop mine rather low on some 18x?s

was just looking at a old press newspaper,have you been designing audis??the new audi A1 comes in red with a silver roof,same as your mx5

speaking of roof mount,saw a c33 in nzpc a while ago with headlights and grill mounted on roof,was a matsuri(?),or drift missile,basically a track spec paddock basher,lol PS:definitely need to paint you roof black,silver and red just doesnt cut it IMO

this makes me happy in pants ,got to be the best mark 2 in nz

indeed Ky .those appear to be the same as the 15x8s i tried on my cortina,have to say they look better at 8 inches wide than 7s,and do agree they dont really suit the triumph,widened steels ftw

ive been told the newer coons also use a slightly different stud pattern(AU-onwards) so wouldnt surprise me if the offset is up the f**k .id go for the 15s off a older falcon imo

+1,15x8s and 15x10s,black rims with chrome hubcaps would be mint

red+white=

i want it,but in black please .always had a soft spot for the older luxes ae

glad to hear its back and in one piece(for the majority)

ive only had it 5 days,but yes,low is on the plan,bit awkward with chch roads at the moment though.and the kit thats on it is barely bigger than a factory bumper,but looks more aggresive so its staying on

damn it,lost what i had typed for this post .to cut it short,motor i fitted has BHG too,cant change to gt grill as its different,flaming subaru and their small differences.and have the front kit on,had to cut 5mm ish out of centre and relief cut under left headlight due to it flexing when bolted up to guard. pictures: yes,thats a alto in the background,48,000km from new and its a 1990

all good,as long as they dont let water flow in im happy

just bought this,did a engine swap on it for a guy but its had overheating issues since so i offered to buy it and he accepted.specs are 95 GT engine(have original GTB motor,blown BHGs atm) auto(get me a manual conversion for cheap and ill pay you in beer at next years nats ) turbo timer(cheap shit tm job but works well enough) 17 advanti nemesis(i own these,changing it back to stock gtb 17s asap) old school sony headunit otherwise its stock as plans are fix and refit GTB motor(bigger injectors,turbos etc) lowering(new shocks and struts,WONT be refitting bilsteins at 500 bux A corner ) front kit(not a fan of stock bumper) GT grill(dont like GTB grills) tidy up and refit standard 17s bigger exhaust(stock at the mo,how many subarus have that?!?!?) Cold air intake front mount intercooler MANUAL CONVERSION possibly make it rwd(not too sure yet) tints(hate driving fishbowls) new sounds(courtesy of my cefiro,pioneer headunit,fusion 6" fronts,panasonic amp,2xJVC 12" subs) respray(either original green or gloss black) anyone would think im a sucker for punishment,owning this,the cortina,the panelvan AND a cefiro,lol anyway,to the pictures if anyone wants parts from the mk5 and silver legacy behind it in last picture let me know,am wrecking them both out at the mo(although not much of the cortina left now,its hiding under the inflatable boat)

nice parts car ,can i flog the weather seals off bottom of door windows??swap ya for my sierra 5 speed speedo cable

in chch you have either Don Hoff on main south rd or Wayne Martin on Waller Tce(off moorhouse ave)

F$%kind scummy c&*ts,will keep eyes peeled for it,hope he gets it back in one piece with everything in it

hmmm,shall try washing soda/crystals etc in said vehicle above,then failing that will try a proper flush substance and report with results

cheers mate,not as extreme as yours but i like it(escort van is a dream car of mine)

good question bout the radiator.as for not reaching temp in the vehicle im trying it on,it boils water after 10 minutes of gentle driving so i think it will reach operating temp,lol
