Cheers Martin! With the sedan grill on it looks even more sleeper, might switch between the two depending on how I feel haha. Im pretty gutted about the guard will look into the paintless dent removal. On more positive news my latest purchase arrived today, I was trying to stir some of you up by saying tridents were my new wheel choice but it didnt work So I bought these!







They are Konig B-Bombs which are pretty much a looka like SSR MKiii, haters are gonna hate but I'm not that bothered by it. One day after the cars done I'll save up and get the real deal. They are 15x7.5'' OP which is roughly the size I was after was hoping to get 15x8's but these will do. Not quite 100% about tyre size yet. Was thinking of getting 195/50/15's but Im open to suggestions also can some of you recommend me some decent tyre brands??

I used to like these and then hate them and now I dont mind em. Go for a 195/45 over the 50 and most tires I have seen look good so its on your budget. Nankangs in 195/45 set me back $75 each but I know that was cheap where toyo proxes were $200 each.

of all the copy rims out there, these are my favourite. will look good with a 195/45 on them

Aah, so you're the guy who bought those wheels, I was thinking about buying them for the Laurel, good score!

[Datto_610]

Thanks guys! Im not a big fan of low profile tyres and my diff ratio is 4.3 so might need a taller profile to try and keep revs down at 100km

[crustywhip]

Shit 4.3!! Your going to need 255/80s (with the white writing facing out). Chch doesn't even have 100k zones does it

Tires are one place where better really is better.

Lol yeah not an ideal ratio but $50 for an longnose R200 I couldn't say no.

Havn't really done anything to this lately really need to pull finger..... did get some flash new wheel nuts for my wheels though even did a test fit! Still don't have tyres need more $$$$. Also got a few things a while back that I forgot to mention, scored a muffler from James 85_Z31 and got a 3'' to 2.5'' exhaust reducer off trade me a while back. Will be getting a 3'' V band clamp when I have some coin spare and will ask Nick M very nicely to weld it onto my dump pipe and the other end to the reducer then I can get a shop to do the rest. The wheels seem to fit ok but need tyres to really know how well they'll sit. Fronts stick out a bit hoping I can tuck them in, rears fit sweet but will fit much better once I finish my 610 adjustable x member currently using a 510 one at the moment(has 4mm less track either side than 610 xmember). Need to just man up and do this fuel line been putting it off for much too long! Anyway heres some piccys

Keep it going Greg, good to see you are still chipping away. How much Stretch and camber are you planning on running, looks like fair bit of "tucking" needed.
How are plans coming for Saturday?
