V8Pete Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 This looks a hell of a lot better than I would've expected 309 thing under bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Quad fog FTW. Needs to be cut and shut apparently. Don't know if I can be bothered with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Bah, stop doing little cosmetic changes like fog lights and pretty tails you guys. For the efort involved in mucking around you could do way more epic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 V8Pete - after all that research you finally painted the garage floor! It looks like a great place to work. Choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Now I know why rear sway bars in pugs look kinda like axles. If you take photos of parts on your freshly painted garage floor it kind of looks like an advertisment with a white background - real flash styles. And that flyweeeheeel looks considerably heavy.

CaMpylobacter Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 who'd you get your konis through you big homo? will add more comments when i get home and see pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Trademe. From memory we both spotted it and went OMG, then realised we couldn't both buy it. And I want bilsteins myself, so I told him to go for it. $300 for the pair from memory. Damn you D: Also. That beam looks HOT. I've gotta paint mine. Then swap my lights. I need a free weekend Oh btw - Stay tuned for pics of Pete in revealing poses tomorrow. We're stripping a 309 tomorrow - rear beam for me, front wishbones / driveshafts / steering rack for Pete. Oh, and it's 185/55 C-drives and 195/50 Kingstars. I didn't realise 195/50s would fit (should have checked the kingstars that came with the car ffs) so paid way too much for a weird tyre size. Need to replace the kingstars, they're freaking lethal. Wiring looms are INCREDIBLY homo. Not hard. Just gay and annoying. Lastly, I should really post a project thread.

CaMpylobacter Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 yeah put a thread up you dick. I'm rolling on 195/55 direzzas. don't rub or anythign FTMFW should really be 50s but meh. only like 10mm diameter difference. 185s = silly money. I want 309 bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Finefinefine. Bored @ work. I've heard that 195/55s can rub, guess it depends on the specific tyres though. 195/50s will do for me - cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 yeah mine rubbed on the rear bumper where it'd been pushed in by poor parking from the last owner. has stopped that will find out more when it'd lowered etc though I guess.
