Not a fan.
Makes the wheel look smaller, and just, doesn't look right, imo.

yeh, which is why i'm going back to a smaller tyre :p not sure if I can bring myself to doing the whole raised big tyre thing..... might give it another go with the 205/50's next time.....

[KI11Z]

boo!.... So I may have broken up with my girl, a little financially broke from moving out with her and study life equaling little income but I may just have some more time for this ol' cabby....... May be selling the Azevs to make way for something a little different so i'll throw up some pics of them soon for anyone who might be interested in them

Looking forward to getting back into wasting money!

Jeez mate, that's rough. I can't give you any mad advice, but if you wanna beer and talk sh** and cars holla.



So um... there's a VR engine in the FS section, and I've got a registered car that won't be used for a month.... any, erm...any thoughts about what that could all mean?

[Zalemate]

But on the upside im enjoying wasting my money on this stupid racecar

Sorry guys, random last post I know but i've been busy with some diy's with an even more exciting diy to come!

but first, the shave!

First time for body work, plastic welding, spraying with a gun and using a buffing machine, so considering all of that, i'm pretty chuffed and learnt a heap....

I was running some slightly modified and refinished old school merc hub caps but one spun off so i've now refinished some VW UP! hub caps :p haha, looks ok for now till I decide on a new direction with the wheels.....

annnnd the pics.... the light was diminishing and trying to capture a black car using no tripod was a nightmare, so apologies.... I'll get better pics later..










and some of how the car sits at the moment......








I've gone through and upgraded the stereo with front and rear splits, sub and a unit that looks as standard as possible. Also lined the door cards and outer door skin with dynamat; Seriously, if you've thought about doing it, just do it, it's worth it. The front speakers hit harder and the doors shut with more of a thud now......

quick shot of the cabin with the evo8 recaros, updated chrome handles, hvac polished ring surrounds and the Nardi wheel and knob.....

[vdubin]

Looking good man nice work .
And yes Dynamat is great

[ffoff]

Where'd you pick up the Nardi wheel from man? I've got a nardi boss sitting in my garage and have had it for like over a year haha
