its all been about the wheels lately.
had a seized wheel nut and because theyve been welded in, it wasnt a job to be done at home.
had nothing but issues with wheel nuts/studs since an aluminium rays nut set didnt like extended studs too much...
then this happened to the project Mu's when swapping wheels over...
So im pretty annoyed and in the market for new open-ended wheel nuts that are strong and will last.
Got new T3 DBA4000 rotors fitted, but they have to be machined down to ~280mm diameter and re-drilled to 4x100. Next time will source direct from DBA and see if they'll do me any favours (even a group buy).
Chucked on some fresh QFM A1RMs while at it. Will do rears later as rotors and pads still got some meat on them.
Decided to stick with the red, so ARTZ is in the process of painting them a colour similar to TE37RT red. nice and rich like. that meant peeling off the vinyl wrap, cleaning and sanding down the bronze.
Once done, will be ready to get some AD08's fitted. Got a large Melbourne Car Meet at Caribbean Gardens on mothers day, and then ready for Winton in mid-May.
Also got approached by PT works who want to do a shoot with the car which is pretty cool.
During Easter break fitted a Bee*R rev limiter (to cut ignition instead of fuel like the PowerFC does) which semi-works... dont think it likes distributor/EFI systems, so might need to mess around with the ignition system some more. yay. While doing wiring, removed some old speaker wire from previous owner and fitted a Ecliptech shift light which is a great unit. Very versatile and intelligent. Almost everything is customisable. highly recommend.
