BDA780 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Didn't get to chat with you on wednesday, but this is quite the piece in person. Looks like you almost have to shorten the rear diff to get the tires in. Such a Rad car man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks! Its getting there slowly. I was quite stoked on the burgerfuel turnout. There was some badass cars there. It looks alright it just needs guard work and smaller tyres to fit better. But theres still more instore for it in the near future. //oldschool.co.nz/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Looks soo much better with silver front guards on there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, theres a little bit more planned for it in the future so stay tuned, Ive been planning it for a while [since before I joint here actually] but my utes been seriously side tracking progress so i need to crack into that to free up some time to sort a few things for the VK then get into that. Your VBs cool, I like the idea of keeping the standard wheels and polishing them. Are they 14s? if so run some stupid wide tyres on them so it looks really 80s style. like 245/50s on the standard 6js :] Awesome ! i would have beat you heads up racing in my lada!! style > speed however Quite possibly what sort of Lada do you have? Its all about getting out there and giving it a go isnt it? But all it succeeded in doing was making me want to go faster.... Anyone got ideas on how to make the STARFIRE go fast for cheap?.... hahahahaha Im serious..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Used to have a 2104 wagon completely stock. My fastest time was a low 21 second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thats awsome! I actually did not know there really any Ladas in NZ, but seeing the threads on them here made me think they are cool little cars. 21 second quarter mile club!? Man it was a chilled run, but that was foot to the floor, and running it right up the rpm. Still i got wheel spin of the line though Alright... im slightly too stoked on it at the moment for what it is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest camo_78 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 mr policeman didnt like tyres so fitted you with one of those delightful green stickers on the windscreen?? by the way this makes me miss my old VK,was originally a 4 banger but had been fitted with a blue 202 and trimatic before we got it,although still running 4 banger diff,suspension and brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shakotom Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I was lucky enough to just get a ticket and told to change them before i drive it again. no extra stickers stuck on my vechile he did say he couldve pink stickered me though.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest camo_78 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 sounds like a good cop .only time I got stickered it was the other way around, greeny on my cefiro but no tickets cause I said straight out I was being a dickhead, lol. back to stock rims for now is it?

Guest Shakotom Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 i have 14x6? standard steels but they dissappear in the guards compared to the wheels on it at present. I might put a set of 14inch hotwires back on it (but they really need refinishing) that i have sitting in the garage in the mean time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 im a fan of your work. dont let the man get you down. i truly believe you can run those wheels with just a fly shit less diff width or a fly shit wider car, either way everything will turn out great. i guarantee it.

AllTorque Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hot wires look good man. plus you cant beat a good shed burnout! You said you were guna use those hot wires on the kingswood. Are they hq (5 x 4 3/4") or commodore (5 x 120mm) pcd? Because they are not the same. Unless they are slotted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakotom Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Thanks. I managed to fill the garage with smoke and it took ages to clear. It still smells like rubber though... Gotta love it.And it proves STARFIRES CAN SKID Yes those wheels are HQ stud pattern but im not really driving it anywhere at the moment. (Im aware its stressing the studs and will probably break them if I continue to use them.) but Im sort of stumped as to what to do at present because I don't really have any other wheels I want to put on there, Cant get adapters as the offset of the hotwires STILL sticks out the guards as is, so yeah itll have to do for now. I still haven't given up on my widened steels though. They will hopefully be back on the car in the near future. or a variant of them will be as I think 60 profile tyres are to large now....

J-Calico Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 So they're different by .65mm? Slot them and use on both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHcommodore Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Was just wondering if you could give me any details on how to mount the sun visor? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUL8R Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Guessing you're using VR/VS lower arms and stubs then if you're using that style strut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
