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.

yeah i did.

turns out i shouldnt own r31s. have written three off in not at fault accidents.

a mate came round yesturday and test fitted my modded knuckles for me.

gonna have to spend a bit of money gettin everythin to clear now. hits everywhere haha.

.... 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.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
