lol. ok just so u know i rarely drive this.. pretty sure there nothing about engineering 3 piece wheels and if there are then thats exactly the same as if i hit someone on my old equips.. Both 3 piece wheels.

Not sure what ur trying to get at.

You're trolling right? Not genuinely trying to say that the fact that they're three piece is what's illegal about them?

On a lighter note though, I take it the panel gap on the front guards is due to the pumping? Looks tits otherwise, mad skills.

Its the width and offset that make them illegal.

My car isnt engineered, and im on my greens. So im not preaching :P

just saying that with all the engineering you have gotten done, a quick, 'do you mind signing the wheels off too' could keep you out of debt.

It definitely looks interesting, it's definitely a cheaper alternative to flares. It's veering on looking like some wide body kits you can get that have fender vents, the only thing that i would be concerned about is the gar right at the bottom where the sill is, it could potential get caught on something, anyway to modify it so it sits flush down low?

Otherwise, this is easily one of the toughest looking NA's i have seen, Congrats to you mate :D

Hey guys thanks for the comments. There reason I didn't get the wheels engineered is because I couldn't. No one will write something saying that the wheel fitment is legal.

As for the guards. It was sorta a last effort in order to stop scrubbing. If I had spare guards or something I might like to cut it where the body line is and bring it back in to it's flush again but still gives me the space I need :)

Another time maybe

Update:
So few things happening lately. Bought a new manifold with external gate and 3" dump full v band :D
Also might be buying a new re route and a 3" exhaust to match from a forum member on here :)

Bad news is my turbo has gone. Just gonna replace it with a cheap one for the moment then replace it with a 2871r later in the year when I build a mental engine :D gonna push for around 330 rwhp ;)

Also just bought my 4x114.3 conversion hubs :) Reason im doing this is i need to replace the cut studs that the dude before me did. And the fact that it comes with new bearings and seals. So what will probs happen around september, ill just chuck the car up on jack stands, remove all control arms and rebush the whole car, new coilovers (maybe) hub conversion and rear brake caliper upgrade :)

Bigs things will happen soon guys. Just gotta earn some more money :lol:
