Toucan Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Progress, shot. Had same exhaust failure on the scrot one beach hop, was a loud ass drive from waihi back home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 yeh, the only bonus is it meant i couldnt hear the three drunk bimbos in the back seat.....haha. was fun scaring the shit out of people on the side of the road tho haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 shit that exhaust really shat itself ay?! mean, why is elite being wankers?? taking ages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 yeh i still dont know how it happened, like i didnt hit anything or whatever. i think the way it was hung was just super shit so it found a weak point and boom, the rest is history etc. yeh elite have had them for a month or so....went in again today (for the third time) and they said they were third in line and should be done by monday. they told me in would take a week in the first place....i went back after two weeks and the dude was like oh yeh, i walk past them everyday and think i should probably get onto them...... im not too bothered, just being a dick haha. kinda gutted i have to get them narrowed but they stick out and look silly, and dont want flares so yeh, spose you gotta do what you gotta do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 haha sounds like most engineer types ay haha. keen as shit to see it on teh steels tho what colour you guna roll them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 yeh pretty much.... dunno yet, probably a light/pale colour eg cream (which they are now), light grey or something. will do some research (ie googleing) and see what takes my fancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I reckon a glossy dark brown could look pretty fucking cool. A dark colour anyway Pics pls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock-Lee Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 needs more slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 my thoughts exactly. front can be done easy enough, shorter springs, reshorten shocks etc however have reset the rear leaves flat and am rolling 2" blocks so "legally" im kinda stuck. i have 3" blocks which ill prbly just chuck in anyways, just need longer u bolts but yeh definitly need to slam the front more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 imo the front needs to go down a touch, the back up a touch. Wheels need to go out a touch and the tyres stretched a touch. Also smash guards out a touch Tyres could also do with a touch lessprofile Basically a lot of touching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also smash guards out a touchTyres could also do with a touch lessprofile Basically a lot of touching i agree. sort of. definitly need more low at front, i like the height at the rear. wheels wont be going out. will go a lower profile (when i can afford it). wont be touching the gurads either. they have all been lipped, so theres plenty of room in there. i now think i should have only taken half an inch out of the front rims but ah well but yes, a lot of touching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 cant quite pick it but somethings just not right. im running 205/60s on the rear (8" rim) and 185/60s on the front (7" rim). pretty sure i need lower profile, probably even 195s on the back. Your problem = 185/60 is an Imperially Metric shitload smaller than a 205/60. Why are you running 60 profile at both ends with 20mm difference in width? Equalize, maaaaaaaaan.

Beaver Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 because haha. im just a muppet and im poor. xx/60 is always cheap i suppose ill have to fork out for some lower profile shit, and match the diameters. or maybe just roll like 195/50s or something all around blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 im thinking maybe 185/55 front and 195/60 rear. the wider rear rim will mean that they will nearly be the same rolling diam. i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Are you assuming the potential stretch will decrease the rolling diameter that severely? I doubt it. just run 185/60's up front and 205/55's at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 maybe ....haha im getting a touch of rub with the 205s, and itl be a shit load cheaper to get some 195/60s for the rear, and they are only 2% greater circumference than the 185/60s. 205/55s would be only 0.6% greater so yes, they would be ideal, but im poor and 195/60s are cheaper haha i shall see what i can find. thanks for the heads up, appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 looks choice bud. Powdercoat dem steels and you'll be onto a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Looking mint! White looks mint against the red.. Sandblast and paint is a cheaper optionthan powdercoating fyi Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Yeah I think just the addition of a lower profile set of tyres will make this look heaps better. Find an image of a car that has the look you're after and figure what the owner has done to get it there. People just seem to get all the "parts" and aren't worried about the "sum" (not in reference to you). Execution= key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
