was waiting for your car to pop up blags... :(

joeyjoe did your rear wheels go straight on ? whats the size again and you dont have to run any camber?

not bolt on... i refuse to run camber as the car has 323rwkw

i'm runing 18x9.5 +25 w 245/40/18 nitto NT05's

the camber is set to be flat on WOT, cant remember the exact numbers

guards had to be flared

Does anyone here with these "fitments" actually track their cars?

and by track I dont mean drift?

Its all very well bagging out people with safe / conservative offsets..but if you are jumping ripple strips having a bee's dick of clearance to the guards and 10deg neg camber just isnt going to work, nor is having a 215 tyre streched onto a 10" wide rim.

*awaits all the "hella flush" fan boys to say OMFG your car is so shit you have +22 offsets on an 8" rim with 235 tyres, you should get 50mm spacers and 185s!!12131!!ty*

when mines finished i will and not just drift.

17x9.5 225 stretch, having bee's dick clearance on neg1 on rear all the way through suspension travel. and neg2 up front which i believe are realistic numbers.

camber and stretch is not wheel fitment. you have to think realisticly when doing it, running something stupid like neg4 or something on the rears just to tuck em is retarded. however when you look at it / \ is baller lOL, but not practical

wheel fitment is rim size, tyre size, ride height, wheel alignment, guard work. the propper hella flush cars are defiantly not what you have described above, majority are show cars and yes some are impractical, however search up fatlace and see that he drives his s14 hard with fitment.

and one thing fitment isn't is SPACERS.

How is that progressing BTW?

Agreed with Dave, lotsa guys think epic stance is about stretching skinny tyres on dished wheels with camber and suspension height dialled down stupid low.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
