yeah tried the rims on yesterday, i was getting them off a mate, there nice rims but they r not the right offset so they have a custom spacer to fit 114.3. they stuck out about 1.5 inches further than my already serioulsy flared guards but the spacer worried me a bit so my mate took them back

so im back on the hunt for rims still.

Buy the proper offset and size new. Don't stuff around with wheels that were clearly NEVER going to fit the car properly.

Work out your plan with the car before buying the wheels then do it properly once.

yeah man

i didnt realise that by spacers he meant they were a different pcd i thought they just needed room to clear the struts.

all good now didnt get them, with the power it will have it would warp the spacer for sure, dont really want that happening mid track now lol.

im gonna leave the rims for now, gonna finish the engine, chassis and get it repainted before i go and buy another set of rims. i wanna run micket thompson street drag tyres so ill probably find some 16inch rims for them but ill work it out later with the sabadin boys and go from there

Saw your 34 today at Sabbadin, paint looks great!

I reckon Advan Tri-spokes would look the bomb on it!

Any idea when the motor will be done?

hahaha

yeah they r sexy rims mate i really love them and have always wanted a set but i dont know if they will be wide enough thats all.

maybe if u sweetened up the deal a lil lol hahah

whats ur car doing at sabadins dude?

the paint looks best under street lights u can actually see all the pearls thru it and its pretty dirty/dusty at sabadins

motor will be done maybe in a couple of months, the bottome end is off to the machine shop this week to get all machined and assembled then. rob will get my engine out and then its back to vu's to do the engine bay and door jams etc.

i actually really need to get down there to keep going with the interior lol

Edited by GUN_METAL_GTR32

Mine is there for turbo swap + clutch + 100k service. (Broken turbo so ma as well do clutch and 100k service while I'm at it).

PM me how much you're prepared to pay for the Advan tri-spokes and we'll go from there.

like i said in my pm i have to wait till my rims sell before i commit a offer to some one else so im not gonna waste ur time.

have a fair kents that want my rims and brides in the f/s section so well see maybe both of us will sell and buy some cool shit soon lol

speak soon mate.

ill probs see ur car at sabadins this week when i go down there

lil progress

i got my car brought home yesterday so i could continue to do more work on the interior.

its a bit difficult getting from templestowe to clayton to do stuff on the car with no licence, so this weekend ill be ripping out the cage and the 2 brides. brides are going and ill be replacing them with sparco fixed backs or bride zeta 3, i have a set of sparco evo's at home but they are a lil snug for my manly/overweight frame. i want seats that are fia approved and also the cage is going coz im going the full cage, with carbon side intrusion bars :miner:

the rb30 block is also at the machinists atm so it will be there for a lil while, whilst all this is happening ill be getting more body work done. when the cage is being done the engine bay, cabin and the boot will all be seam/stitch welded (possibly around the doors as well) and vu from dt panels will be fitting my new body kits whis will one day get here from the states.

it comprises of some seriously awesome shit haha

- carbon bonnet

- carbon boot

- carbon side skirts z tune style

- carbon rear pods z tune style

- carbon z tune front guards

- carbon front bumper

- carbon bolt on 60mm rear flares :D

- carbon front splitter with 2 billet rods

- carbon front caards

- carbon radiator air guide

i think having the 2 tone effect of white to black is gonna be f**king awesome

im sending my headlights off to headlights plus to get polished.

ive also decided to keep the stereo in the car as well but ill move the amps to under rear seat passenger footwells seeing as u cant sit there anyway. also retrimming the rear seats in the same fabric as the drivers and passenger seats.

hay buddy

i havnt spoken to rob in a couple of weeks coz i have had work commitments but yeah i think everything is progressing steadily.

the car is at my house atm so i can do some of my own stuff on the interior and re wire up the stereo.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
