might bitch out and run 225's on it. I'm running 215's on 9.5" rears on the ceffy, and it handles just fine. With the golf though, I want a near 60 degree sidewall to tuck in under flared out guard lip. Golfs run a factory fender flare, then a lip. Most guys homo out and just leave it as it is and try and tuck shit under it. I wanna make that lip follow the angle of the fender, then make the tyre run parallel to it.

Anyways, got the wheels. Should cost about $1300 landed. I hope. Been ages (almost a year) since I bought a set of wheels, god knows what the price of shipping is these days... and I cbf waiting for a container.

who would've thunk a Subaru Legacy is perfect fitment for a VW Golf...

looks like a spitz of some kind

lol i've got wheels and I don't even know what colour the car is... apparently I've got a choice of two, one is blue and the other is silver. choices... lol I'll probably pick the one that is cleaner.

liking the idea of blue with silver chrome wheels though... probably end up respraying it black with some ghey off centre euro racing stripe.

gonna be baller.....

soooooooooooo i've sorted out how to fit the wheels to my ke70.... and keep it slammed (15x8-9)

flare guards 2"

castor wheels forward 1"

xt130 lca's to camber it in around 1.5"

hacksaw the fronts of the guards around 3" forward

195's

the rears need a big flare + some stretch and that's that

also i'm puttting an s series rear end on there which will act like 2 x 10mm spacers

FFFUUU suspension for both the R32 and the Golf is gonna cost me a month's pay. FML.

funky fk that vw looks like shit fitment.

Yeah he's running a 5x100 PCD to 5x114.3 PCD adapter, and even then he's settled for the minitrucker look. The Meister's I got are 5x100 PCD and have maximum allowable offset. If my calculations are right it should poke out an inch so that I can flare the guard to cover it.

Oh - what hours you working this weekend/long w/e funkeh - i comes get PC bits :down:

dunno if I cbf working this weekend... I'll chuck the mobo in the boot of the car, so just tell me when you're free and I'll come see you.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
