please dont tell me you are planning to run slip ons? have you had a look at justjap.com?

they should have a 10mm spacer that doesnt require extended studs.

Noice!!!! I bought those wheels when the y where only available in silver, had to paint them myself. What is the clutch set up worth??

clutch and flywheel is about 1400 delivered which is pretty good considering its made by os giken and their clutch costs twice as much. i will be using hubcentric spacers in any case.

i ordered some custom 5mm spacers with a hub ring to suit my wheels. 54.1>73. should have them by friday i would think. then on go the brakes.

spacers arrived and they are very light. will have a crack at putting the brakes on tonight.

well after much farking around i finally got the brakes in. as usual the first few stops were really crap but as I did a few more stops they got much better. They feel very very strong and will only get better over the next few hundred k's.

here are a few pics of the on. I did not have the camera on hand while I was installing them so no wheel off shots yet. they certainly fill the wheels.

I tinted the rear lights a while ago but never took any pics so here is a pic.

decided i would get a few photos of my car with the wing on it this morning. i think it will look much much better when i get a hard top. will definitely only use it on the track. even for me its a bit much.

What are spacers?...

The car looks really good btw, are you thinking of the C.B. hard top from the other thread in this forum?
