  1. Aloha guys just trying to figure out ways I can change the PCD of my car from 5x114.3 to 5x108? Why? Because I drive a car that shares the "poor man's Ferrari" moniker with the Fiat Coupe, and it shares "hairdresser" with many other cars too... I have an '91 Toyota MR2 (SW20) and after a long time of gazing at other cars and articles and such I've decided I want a "period correct" look which kind of goes after the poor man's Ferrari theme but without going too 90s JDM or 70s-80s i.e. Watanabes and Yayois. I think the car really doesn't do the JDM tuner look well and poor mans Ferrari is what I want to do, however I won't be fitting any crazy bodykits. Looks wise I just plan on colour matching my black rubber trim and fitting some sweet 5 spoke wheels with sticky rubber.. Note - perfect fitment has been suggested to me as: Front: 17x8 +35 offset and 215/40R17 Rear: 17x9 +35 offset and 245/35R17 - Wider tyres needed at rear because more weight is at rear and it maintains better traction. Staggered is the way to go for this particular car but some run normal 17x8 all over but personally due to my novice skill level I'd go with staggered. I originally wanted some HRE 505M's, but can't justify buying a set that will cost over 4x what I paid for my car - especially when said car is an NA daily driver and may see occasional track use. PICS: http://www.hrewheels.com/wheels/vintage-series/505m Would buy some of these: http://www.superformance.co.uk/348/wheels.html http://www.superformance.co.uk/308/wheels.html https://www.google.co.nz/search?q=volvo+940+70168&rlz=1C1CHJW_enNZ479NZ479&espv=2&biw=1570&bih=851&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIqZCJlc7oxgIVQeSmCh12QwAa Then there's the issue of getting offset and wheels in the right widths (9-10" rear is a problem) Do I go with spacers, possibly get the fenders flared or "pumped" professionally, wheel adapters, or just put up and go with some 5x114.3s? (I personally would go three spoke ADVAN as I like those more than the thin 5 spokes of today, chunkier ferrari-like 5 spokers have gone out of fashion IMO).
  2. Discussion thread: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/39819-twin-volvo-project/ A month ago Euan moved over to Waiheke island to live with me and Oscar and brought over his 1986 Volvo 240 GLE. we've all talked about how dope it would be to stance a 240 but finding adjusties or even wheels that fit 5x108 are such a mission. but it was always the idea that one day it would happen. Me and Oscar were looking for a car since we moved here 6 months ago but never found the right one. until 2 days ago. A 1987 Volvo 240 GLE came up on Waiheke trading and the next morning the owners were pleased to take $300 cash so we went for our first Volvo cruise on the island... Our one doesnt have a wof or reg due to rust but hopefully we can suss it soon. in the mean time we just spent the afternoon cleaning it and painted the rocker cover: We've been looking at stud pattern adapters and wheels and little things to add so hopefully we can actually start these projects in the next couple of weeks.

  3. So I have decided to do a build thread on my 1987 Toyota Mark II so i can have a record of all the mods I have done and also so anyone else interested can have a look. I saw the car on Trademe about a month ago and fell inlove with it pretty much straight away, so i called the owner up and asked if i could come have a look that night. After giving it a look over and not being able to find any faults, apart from the minor rust on the underside of the bonnet, I purchased it and was extremely pleased. I quickly sold my Subaru before the turbo blew up. The mark II is a factory manual (w55) and has a 1.8L, 4cyl engine (1s). A f*ckload better on fuel than the Subey. The next day at work I put it up on the hoist to have a look underneath and replaced the engine oil, oil filter, diff oil, and gearbox oil. I also found that the driveshaft hanger bearing was f*cked so I ordered a new one. Oh my occupation is a Toyota mechanic by the way, so that comes in handy. After replacing the driveshaft hanger bearing the next day, i thought of what I wanted to do next. I got a fresh W.O.F and some rego so atleast it was all road worthy. So recently i have been looking at an insane amount of mark II and Cressida build threads on the net and have pretty much sorted the look i want to go for. Heres a pic of when i got her, only thing I had done is fitted the train hanger. As you can see, she is completely standard and waaaaaay too high. so I called in a favor from my dad , Iain Wilson, at Racelign/Autolign in Mt Wellington. He hooked me up with some Bilstein shocks for the rear, Dobi lowering springs all around and shortened shocks in the front. You cant really see how low it is in this picture but i will upload a decent pic tomorrow, also this was after I gave her a decent wash and polish. Bilsteins and Dobis. It rides so much better now and doesnt look like a boat. Ill upload a decent pic of how it sits tomorrow. Also I decided that I wanted a twin 2inch boso style exhaust, but not an over the top exhaust that goes over the roof or anything, just like, 300mm out the back on an angle. So I went and talked to Derek ( not sure if thats spelt right ) at Counties Mufflers, he was extremely helpful and gave me a few options, definitely recommend this guy to anyone looking for work done on their exhaust system. So what im going to do is remove the rear muffler and then have a splitter separating the 1 and a half inch exhaust into 2 2inch pipes. But when i removed the rear muffler tonight and started it up I decided I might fit a small muffler before the splitter because its offensively loud haha. So i cut the pipe just before the muffler, heres some pics. Tomorrow ill finish it off and put some pics of when its done. Heres some more pics of the car, ill update my progress tomorrow, cheers, Jake. Okay so today I got my new muffler. The entry pipe to it is '1 and a half inch' and then it has 2 '2 and a quarter' outlets. So it will go where the old muffler was and have 2 long 2 and a quarter pipes out the back. I havent fitted it yet as I got it a bit late in the day so I will have to wait till I can do it at work tomorrow. Heres a picture of it anyway. Will let you guys know the progress Okay, so, I got my exhaust on, heres the pics, excuse the bad welding but it was my first time welding on exhaust piping, and my third time actually welding haha, but this project is all about learning so here we go: Not sure what my next mod will be, hopefully some new rims if I can find some cheap, good looking ones. Might post some more pics of the car cruising this weekend, cheers
