Looking very, very good Spranga. By the way I haven't seen you on the westlink for ages. I'm doing the length of it in second gear just so that I can show off the sound of my re-installed supercharger should you pass by. Costing me petrol money, man...!

I will have my ears ready. Usually heading south west 7:45-8:00am and north/east 4:30-5:00. BRG right?

No, red over silver NA. To be fair those times make sense, usually AM too late and usually different route, PM too early.

I knew it was either BRG or red over Silver. Saw you a few weeks ago going down Parra Rd near Leichhardt on a weekend. Almost worth heading home late to hear the supercharger!!!

Yep. They are 195s now, off my other wheels. They don't look quite as good but fill the guards a little better. I thought about keeping the C-Drives and buying a couple more but needed to save some cash. They were rubbing a little so I did some minor rolling of the guard liner supports and trimmed the inside of the rear mud flaps. I love these wheels. I can't park the car anywhere without looking back at it repeatedly. I am a sad case I know.

They seem like hot property these days? I might let it go as I am thinking about a garage vary lip...

Great. No major hassles. They still scrape the plastic inner guard occasionally, but I don't want to remove them. Anyway the bit that scrapes has almost worn away so it is happening less :D Occasionally if I am not thinking the tyre rubs on the guard when I am turning into a drive way or similar, but you folded the guards enough to prevent them from folding down so damage is avoided. They don't rub when I am hammering along twisties and that is the most important thing for me.

Your car is going well... drawing lots of attention! I still wonder about whether I should have gone with the sportmax's :mrgreen:

That garage vary lip will look great on your white NA. :mrgreen:
