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. 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

[charlie_91]

Console arrived 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

[Okibi]

I like the shorly console but I think it looks a little bare without a shift boot.

[charlie_91]

cheers,
Yeh i like it to.. however my shift boot was all sh*t so its nice not to have to worry about it lol

[Zpeed]

Very tough charlie, where'd u get the console from...

Ps I get some 20mm spacers for idols wheels and 175x 50 buhahaha

[charlie_91]

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.

Update

Just bought a joyfast long shift knob from tetsuya garage which is the bottom one in the pic lol

[charlie_91]

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 Next thing to do is probs a diff upgrade, and start building the motor and attaching the parts

Also just picked up a new soft top 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 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
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
Also bought a tv haha Hopefully this rain goes away so i can try and install the softop and fix the bolt.
