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!

Just tell everyone how much less fuel it uses since you fitted the wing :-)

I thought id hear way more wind noise atleast and its nada even at 160~

i actually notice no difference to the cars handling or noise so im happy. I just want to cheat my way closer to walls and clips without using the car body...

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.

Want me to save that rear cut from my parts car now? 

I don't know when I will be able to get it as we pack up to move house etc etc bunch of life in the way.

But I do want to have a crack at stitching on a rear!
