*insert 'wish my wife was this dirty comment'*

Was gonna get a couple shots of my free calipers I got off durty (chur boe) and pics of the s4 rotors to chuck on trade miz but the camera fucked out again.

Housings are at engineers getting peripheral ported.

And I spent a shit ton on new parts. New seals/springs etc, rx8 rotors and stat gears, high flow oil pump, and money to get it balanced etc. Still gotta buy more though.

Also slight changes of plans.

-paint will be left as is, chalky blue.

-after seeing mikunis wagon I've decided to hunt a set of steels as are on it and get them widened a couple inch with similar tyres

-wanting to hunt down a oldschool mesh visor for it

-some other stuff.

Oh, and I gotta still chuck on my os sticker.

Also, it may make it to nats but will half completed. Either as is but boned with brakes and rims done, or motor in running but standard as otherwise. 4rofls.

Disc brake diff:

picture026kd2.th.jpg

Uncle goes "someones fuckin welded blocks on to the diff." Awesome.

Think it's out of a s3 rx7.

Steering wheels:

picture046xx5.th.jpgpicture048rk3.th.jpg

Want to use the one of the right, has a weird boss though and need to find one to fit.

Got these std wide steels off trademe for $50 cos Gaz pretty much said "Buy now or ban etc"

picture033tr0.th.jpg

picture028jn3.th.jpg

But you get the idea of how they sit etc.

While wheel was off decided to dig out all the accumulated dirt. Screwdriver was a good tool for digging at that shit. Then it went through chalky, OH LOLZ.

picture031av1.th.jpg

Bout a week later saw these on trademe and snaked them for $50 too. Had to roll half way to mo-town ot get them though. All good. 4 std, 3 widened.

FUCK TEA TIME BRB!

Shit yea, just had steak. Mega. As i was saying there are 4 std, 3 widened.

picture037fy2.th.jpg

Dirty ro-stz. Will use these to get widened. More wide is best.

So yah, might rock some 175/50s on a couple widened ones and front springs in the boot to see what it looks like. Prob not till after exams though. Also waiting for mate to pick up housings in chch and send me some pics of the ports. Also found out you can get 58mm IDAs from america. :doubt: Fuckin tuff eh.

Currently has no springs in front. needs to go lower. been looking at making some adjusties.

Decided i wanna mount the motor etc in these holidays, which is in about 2 weeks. so depending on work and some other shit.

Also fucked around with rims the other day. They are 6" widened with inch and half of cardboard so they are 7.5" wide. Clear pretty well.
