I've got Saturday off, hit me up, it's gonna be a nice day. Maybe GOR? :P

yeh i got work till afternoon like 2ish i think :/

Yes of course, each to their own. Some people have style, others don't.... they stick with the norm. I pity those people.

Cars are like fashion. Some people like shopping at Big W and others enjoy designer brands. I modify my car to suit my style/personality.

Goodluck, Can't wait to see the Cube.

salvo's style ftw!

Where do I get those hats from? Look much nicer than the 18yr old standards hats im using..

i made them on the lathe, couldnt find anything off the shelf that suited what i wanted. u can buy tein uppers, but they are rose jointed i think, which is pretty much useless on a road car. and im not sure if ur coils are the same OD.

any tyre shop that sells wheels should have them.

wouldnt worry about price, for the effort and fuel, it's not gonna make much difference, few $$ max.

for custom's it ran me $140

for the bob jane specials it was like $25

do a ring around first, as many places have no f**king idea what they are, it took me 3 visits to get them from bj's

Decided to sell my 20mm spacers.. Not worth all the hassle. Going to try for a 5mm (just a normal one).

what hastle?

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.

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

Flaring the guards, respraying it if it cracks etc.

Plus it'll affect the handling too much. The MR2 boys talked me out of it.

spacers take the shear weight off the hub studs = bad for studs

you get heaps more chicks without spacers

fact

ill be very surprised if an average girl would even know what spacers are.. :laugh: ..the girls who are highly involved with cars would know but not others...so ill like to challenge your fact :D

this.

you know what, fuck 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.

for some reason i have spacers in my car...i agree spacers are gay...get fat wheels instead...hehehe...

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

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
