BBS club represent! Might also need some slight gaurd rolling although wheels are the same offset as already on and they don't rub at the mo. However need to mod exhaust to run a little lower so will have to look again. Tracking new lips and outers/bolts from Germany at the moment.

Quite oh my!

Nice, I'm going pointy bolts :P

Not sure what colour still to paint centers, either be colour coded again or black with lots and lots of flake in it both with gold bolts I'm thinking

Nah Matt's... He wanted to sell his and to buy mine because it was for sale just after he bought his. Told him he should cause he will get mod bug, decided against it

Now it makes same power as what mine was iirc, just less in cosmetic parts but spent all his money anyway lol

How did you guys manage that???? :blink:

How it matter how stretched or bulge your tyres are?

mine had a big loose coming off the sweeper at winton, doing around 140 tyre delamed after 2 very solid track days in a row and I went flying. it dug in on roll over alley..lucky not roll over

just

ripped tyres off rims

bent tie road

bent rear toe rod

killed rear sub frame bushes

bent rear hub..

so got out of it pretty light

all parts upgraded with new adjustable /solid/better items now.

mine were def not streched

235 on 8"s front

255 on 9"'s rear

Where you buying from? I have got a set of new chrome bolts spare as well as 17 x 2.5 in lips and 17 x 6.5 in barrells if needed. I am loving this at the moment for a dark car (not for me).

A mate just got some stuff powdercoated with the name of colour "Black Onyx" it looks sooooooo good. Can find the brand of powder if you need. Show me what you are thinking.

yeh. not really lol generally everyone has or is able to do something i am interested in hence the negotiated repayment scheme.

Not sure if I can live up to Tony's prowess... :whistling:

..... :3some:

Quite oh my!

Will report back with results... if you know what I mean... :ph34r:

What are you asking for chrome bolts? 136 or more?

Buying from Germany and US, already ordered lips to max I can go :P

Won't be powdercoating as it's a little more expensive than paint for pretty much same results. Also powdercoat has a chance to change the integrity of the alloy as the rims are heated treated when they are made When its powedercoated its heated to about 400-500 degress instead of 60degrees like painting

136 bolts = $100. Pretty sure most powedercoat's can be melted at 200 deg C - so no problem even on Magnesium (they do have other problems with oxidation/time between stripping and coating). Paint them 2 pack? Which companies ordered from?

Oh the bolts do not have any markings on them..... however the bolts I have also bought (and gen ones from BBS) from Tunershop have also had no markings on them (even if they are only 8.8's that many of them would be more than fine).

Cool no worries, let me cancel my order and I'll grab bolts off you :) m7x32mm yeah?

I'll let you know when its all sorted.

I know bolts have no markings, purchased gold ones from Tunershop when I rebuilt the Super RS's

Yeah plan on doing two pack anyway, that's how did the last ones.

The lips or bolts?

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
