Think he means 3071

[owen1r]

It doesn't list on their site that they do a 71?

[owen1r]

Got some new coilovers! Loving them so far, but yet to drive much on them.

[timmy_89]

Nice, did you change the ride height at all?

[owen1r]

Raised it a tad more than 1cm at the rear and closer to 2 at the front. Now sits at 345 mm front and 335 mm rear, middle of the wheel to top of wheel arch..

Now on the quest for new wheels, as my current wheels have about a cm of poke at the front and require about 3 deg of camber at the rears.

Looking for F - 18x8.5 + 25 and R - 9.5 + 30, I believe these will be flush and fit 245/275 tires with minimal camber.

Any input from anyone? Offsets seem ok?

[owen1r]

Time for new wheels, tyres, slotted rotors, braided lines and new pads all round..

[Yo-Yo]

nice choice. Get the fattest stickiest tyres your budget will allow, don't skimp on rubber

[owen1r]

Probably just get some KU31, 245 and 265.

[owen1r]

Finally got rims + tyres on the car, did front and rear camber arms and front castor.

Car has an aggressive alignment and handles amazing.

[MrFijiGold]

That looks sweet man!

[Redline_GTR]

Car looks great Owen.

Sits very nicely

[timmy_89]

I agree with the others, looks great. What size wheels and tyres did you go with?

[owen1r]

Cheers guys.

18 x 9.0 +35 (with a 10mm spacer to clear brakes) and 9.5 +38

245 and 265 tyres, KU39.

Next is sway bars front and rear I'm thinking, getting a terrible knock from my front end which I believe might be a sway bar end link Then maybe a 1.5 Way and then I'll finally get onto power..

[604JD]

same here with the sway bar end link, finally figured out the noise last week, ordered new ones in

[owen1r]

Well I had my first track day..

Oil got to 130 deg after 2 laps, and water started to get close to the top of the dial after 3 so I had to backoff and let the car cooldown for 15 mins after every two laps, annoying to say the least!

So next up is a new china radiator + mocal oil cooler, which will require battery relocation and new washerbottle/catch can

Vid incoming of my terrible driving.

[owen1r]

Video from the RAC track here in Perth on the weekend, horrendous attempts to slide the car but so much fun!

Currently how the car sits.

It looks so tough with the RPF1's!

[timmy_89]

^^ Agreed, looks great!

Sliding around is always fun, looks like you're getting the hang of it, nothing helps more then practice . Then you can work on transitioning between the corners

How did you end up going with the radiator and oil cooler?

Bought a 42mm ebay rad and put that in, I have a Greddy Oil cooler + Block sitting in my shed but yet to put it in yet as I'm probably going to sell the car soon and buy an Evo IX.

Temps were fine on that track day although it was only 17 deg, oil sitting at 110 deg after 3 hard laps and water was fine. I'd say I'm going to need the oil cooler for summer track days if I end up keeping the car.
