sold my work equip anhelos on thursday just gone.

very sad.

but decided itd be a better idea to have a matching set of 6 wheels.

so i plan on buying 6 XXR 531's in 17x9+25 all round

so i thought id better test fit a 9" wheel to the front.

this is a 17x9+38 with a 25mm bolt on spacer.

oh and they actually rocked up yesturday.

unfortunately its gonna be a while before i can get them fitted up as i was in a car accident on saturday just gone and my daily driver was written off.

so all my spare money i had aside for the laurel has gone to buy a new daily.

not happy. but hopefully the insurance company of the guy that hit me wont take to long to pay me.

.... havent got lock stops on my arms. currently hits the castor rod and the inner well at the back. haha. and arms are binding.\

turns out the knuckles ive bought are freakin insane also,

they actually run reverse ackerman by the looks of it.. and are extremely quick.

should be interesting. i predict a shit load of spins happening. haha

im only running stock arms at the moment, thats probably got a fair bit to do with it id imagine. haha

its not actually hitting the inner well at the moment. i havent got tyres fitted to the XXRs yet. we just mounted one of them to see what i was likely to hit,

will be getting tyres fitted in the new year. at the moment im not even allowed to touch a car because of the bloody crash.

i would but this is basically gonna be driven on the street maybe a couple times a year,

and after spending this year in the passenger seat of my mates 180 track car. i really want a pair of sparco seats.

i still found that on the track with the recaros i was having to brace myself on the centre console/door. admittedly I haven't installed my harness yet, but I figure someone else might as well put the road legal recaros to good use.

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
