    Yo guys,

    So alot to write so put your reading glasses on.

    So first weekend of feburary Stathi came down, we intially were going to fit his wheels. That instead turned into getting my wheels fitted and car ready.

    I bought a set of SSR MK2 basically from surf pig, they were in some fairly aggressive specs being 14x7 +12 and 14x8 +-0
    I was running 16mm of spacers up front to make it 14x7 -4, which still weren't aggressive enough for front fitment to me.

    Anyway, Stathi and i converted my car to studs and got new tyres fitted to the wheels and rolled guards.

    Stayed at stathi's for two night before we made the road trip doing car stuff, we also parked up under the harbour bridge at like 1am and took some cool photos and dumb cars.



    I got up there easy enough, i chose not the run rears wheels on the way up because i really couldn't be bothered putting them on really.

    Show was easily the best show i have been, it was way to fun partying with everyone. I drank my fair share on alcohol and met the great "Ben J".



    The car was stupid low on this setup and not fitted as well as i'd like it to be, my sump and subframe were sitting approx 10mm off the ground it was so stupid. Because of this, the little driving that i did at this height caused to grind my sump plug a little, dent the **** out of my sump break my rear frame basically completely off.

    It was also caused one of my front coils to explode beyond repair, which is stupidest dumbest thing ever and it's super annoying and dumb...

    So i got home from the longest road trip ever, 1300km round trip with no radio and a **** off loud exhaust is dumb. I basically instantly parked the car and put it on jack stands to inspect the damage... It's listed as above.



    Luckily i have a multitude of parts and have a spare set of bsaically new lowered springs and struts which i'm not sure are even lowered at all...


    Since Halfway i sold the SSR because CBF, bought Sams porsche adapters and chucked some D90s i had sitting around from ffoff on. They fit so well, but look mega dumb because i don't have any adjustment in front so i have like a kilometre of gap and it makes me Sad



    I also fixed my radio, was a dead power wire for some reason or another...



    Also, i'm moving to Bathurst on Friday for Uni and i am staying on campus. This means i won't really have access to a proper garage and tools...

    If your in Bathurst hit me up, i am in need of a work space, I can provide beer and knowledge about not much!

    Till next time...

    I know, they just needed to much money to make them work. Moving out and what not caused me to just sell them and run something else.
