Mate, that is absurdly awesome and sexy. Seriously a car too be looked up too? What wheels are they? TE37's of some sort? How bad is the scrubbing cause id imagine it could be pretty bad.

Wow thanks man. didnt think my car would be something to look up to at all. :D Wheels are rota grid v's. There was alot of scrubbing when i first got them on but that was with half rolled guards and dodgy front fenders.. Since then i have rolled the rears flat and fixed the fronts and there is next to no scrubbing at all.

Just takes a little bit of work but its worth it :mrgreen:

Console arrived :D and installed..

Heres what it looks like...

Review: Its awesome lol and for the $70 it cost to get its well worth it. So much more room in the interior and just looks more simplistic :)

I like the shorly console but I think it looks a little bare without a shift boot.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

haha 175/50s lol thats a lot of stretch.. you can easily run a 195/50 with those spacers and wheels.

I got the console from some guy in the us but u can get them from rev9 autosport.

- Turbo setup
- Pull apart motor and see if its safe for boost.
- Upgrade to 1.8 diff with kazz 1.5 way centre or just keep the torsen
- Full respray with all panels aligned properly and no dents :D
- Work equip 03's 'O' Disk (15x9+7) for realzz this time yo

Im hoping to at least take my car off the road mid april to get all this underway and hopefully be ready by the end of May.

Just need to find time to install the frame rails, fix the seat bolt, install cage (when it comes) and install softop :( Anyone wanna help lol ?

Just placed an order for my new 15 x 9 +10 a disk equip 03's.. SOoooooo cant wait lol .
I was kinda bummed about havent to wait ages but turns out they'll be here in 3 weeks haha

So win win win win .... win.

Ill be buying my engine internals in the coming weeks and my turbo kit should be here in a few weeks also :D Next thing to do is probs a diff upgrade, and start building the motor and attaching the parts :D

Also just picked up a new soft top :D Cage should be here next week so i need to install that and the frame rails.
I might be changing my wheel studs as well :D First things first though, i need to fix this damn bolt on my seat rail cos thats whats holding me back from installing all this stuff :(

Tried installing my soft top... biggest mistake ever :( None of the bolts line up so i gave up for the day.. Tarp is back on top of the car :P
I also wanted to fix this seat bolt but it started to rain again so i gave up on that as well :(

In other news i bought a new sparco sprint.. the other one is for sale but its in dodgy condition and suit retrim.. $100 if anyone wants it lol :P
Also bought a tv haha :P Hopefully this rain goes away so i can try and install the softop and fix the bolt.
