Shortly after getting it back on the road I got asked to do a leavers dinner drop of with a mate in his FC RX7...
Might not look like much but it is a 246kw atws 12 sec street dríven reliable car.

Ok I’m just going to rush through what’s happened over the next couple of years and get up to where I am now as not a lot really changed.
I did have some great pictures of my car my dad did for me.
Handy when your dad is a pro photographer with 46 years’ experience under his belt.
Here are a few of them. We went out to a local workshop for an industry looking back scene
Oh unless I stated before I scored a front oem splitter locally and a plastic rear from the states.

Enjoy

Looks awesome though mate, keep it up.

Next up I stumbled across a pair of Work Meisters in 15x9.5 4x100 with gunmetal centres.
I had always dreamed of having a set of these and the width these had been made to got me thinking. Could I squeeze them under the back????
I loved stance and to have my dream wheels in a silly size was well worth a look considering even more how much I brought this pair for.
I sat down to work out where they would sit on the hub.
I then made up a jig out of wood to represent the rim size and width.
The following day I went out jacked up the car and started tinkering around seeing what they may hit.
Turns out nothing I was safe so after double/triple checking everything I went ahead and brought them.
I also stumbled across a pair of wildwood 4 spot callipers braided lines and 280mm drilled rotors on hubs for a good price.
Snapped them up as well and waited for both to arrive.
Pic of rim on brake. I had to use a 5mm spacer to clear the calliper.

I went about ordering another pair after doing the maths so they matched the rear once on the car in 15x8.5.
I also asked about the brake clearance problem I had. They said they could make them to clear hopefully so I went with that.

6 months is a long time when you are waiting on toys to get made and delivered :lol:

In this time I got a set of Toyo Proxy 4s (proxes for particulars) in 205 and 225 sizes so I had them ready.

Also got offered a new job so moved over to Vic where I am now and have been for about 2 years now.
Here are some pictures after I got the other pair and got the tyres fitted. First squirt with them on

Also these are the same as the start of my thread so no real change

Hahaha

I personally wouldn’t do it again.
I would love to custom the guards to flare the metal out and run like that.
Kind of hot rod style but not if you can picture what I mean.

Thanks for the complements though. Muchly appreciated

So buy one already, Paul.

Thought the flares looked pretty neat, maybe not in real life. Wheels are stunning 9.5 ", insane

They are a great set of flares don’t get me wrong following the body lines rather than just sticking out is my main reason for getting them.
They could do with a touch up in places maybe one day. But for the time being they play there part fine. The car is my toy. Not so much a show queen or anything like this. The reason for wanting all metal would be I guess different again and something about all metal work instead of fiberglass really appeals to me.

Thanks tho all the same
