NicT Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 I am full of shame and excitement. Please remember I daily this Car from Auckland to Hamilton every week. It is now overwhelmingly rice. Next week will be clutch and cambelt time, week after hopefully more drifting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim13 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Just tell everyone how much less fuel it uses since you fitted the wing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to cheat my way closer to walls and clips without using the car body... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicT Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Making the switch to 17's with 17x8 +30's Just bought some 215/45r17 snow tires in prep for hampton downs next Friday. Cant wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicT Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 I am 50/50 on if this was a good choice of wheels. Input? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I like 'em. They almost need to be bigger at the back though? 17/18 stagger? Still. I contemplated them for the seven but they'd need a more convex look and the right offset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicT Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 I went to a 17 for cheaper/free tires in good sizing (215/45r17) as i couldnt find tires in the compounds i needed in an 18 no matter how hard i tried. Ill likely go 17x9 in the rear in a more aggresive offset soon and run them as dailies, and these as drift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
