yea i know, i clicked the link and it put me at the last page i was on last time i read

apologies to everyone

anyway, it does bolt to the struts, but the actual brace member sits higher than the top of the struts, so its pretty much just eye candy...

imo

but, prove me wrong

nfi mang, but the way i see it, it holds the point that moves the most(strut top) in place, as long as the brace doesnt bend, should do the job. imo :laugh:

can you please for the love of god just do what we say next time? it's not like we're trying to fuck your shit up.

we're not??

I tried to get a set for teh cef, and no one could get em, so I just went down to the wheel shop down the road from the workshop and the guy milled four out of chromolly for me on the lathe. cost me $30 in materials, a can of coke and a burger with the lot for his lunch.

get some done for me pl0x. i'll get measurements this week

yeh.... cenreline did mine as the car was already there.... so i paid the centreline tax :woot:

lol centerline tax. not inc fuel to get there

Too late lol. I already have all my wheels :D Fronts poke out heaps and rears are tucked in lol

same width/offset? if not, swap the rears to the front? simple fix

this.

you know what, f**k it. listen to your cock jockey mr2 fanboy mates. just picture your wheel rolling off in another direction as you corner, followed by a massive scraping sound as your brake disc/control arm/sump grinds into the asphalt. cos it could happen anytime with that setup.

Dude, I just said I'm getting rid of my spacers lol. Just sold them actually.

I might get a 5mm spacer, but not definite.

[rant]

yes in theory, but those frames that elevate the actual strut will take away all the torque because it has room to flex, might do something, but no where near as effective as if the strut was bolted to the top of the strut itself

[/endrant]

N00b question.... Would it hurt to have a little bit of positive camber in the rears? So they look wider than they really are? And then a little bit of negative camber in the front?

Or would that make the car handle like a bag of dicks?

yeah i see what you mean. in the end, theres nothing stopping you from running both

yep true, hence why i said the top one would be for bling :laugh:

it totaly would get in the way of the speakers wouldnt it? or does it sit just under the parcel shelf?

positive camber is generally frowned/facepalmed upon... about the only time you'd consider it is if you're doing drags and only drags i reckon.

can't you just get the rears re-made with a better offset.. new barrels or something?

sigh.. i want new wheels :laugh:

i cant wait for funky to answer this.

your a bag of dicks.....

seriously but. i wouldnt know :laugh:

you mention cawk alot..

Get new outers for the rear to make them 9.5" or 10"

this or

Why not just paint a bag of dicks on the rear wheels?

But yeh maybe just go wider on rears then if u dont want to go spacers

you also mention dick alot, you and mohsen .... ?

Find a 10mm spacer and STFU

or this.

Where can I get this done??? Is it expensive?

whitehorse industries i think its called?

for real, i feel bad for you come in here ask for advice and get burnt to a crisp everytime.

sell the wheels u got now, get the right wheels through streeter or something worth the wait and save ya self f**kin around.

:laugh:

probably the most worthwhile post i've ever made, someone quote this shit.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
