Opinions? I'm pretty keen on them tbh. Was looking at the 20's aswell but I think they would look too big.


20's are a bit over the top in my opinion, but the wheel itself looks good. :good: Maybe swap out the centre caps for something else though?
I got this plan. It's called 'Save Ass'. And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!

Yeah I'll go 19's I think...

So my TCP mufflers came while I was in america, so of course instead of sleeping when I got home I got to work on putting the mufflers on :D

They arent too loud, but give a really nice note when giving it some. Next will be the x-force pipes which will hopefully arrive soon.

So just a quick update really,

Decided to just get some rota g-force 18x8.5 +44 in flat black to keep me at bay for a little while until I can settle on wheels I am 100% happy wheels. TBH I like the rotas and can potentially see myself keeping them for a while (assuming they last a while of course...) I have the stock size tyres on them atm and they dont fit too bad, bit of stretch but nothing too outrageous I feel.

When the new wheels went on however, there was alot of scrubbing largely on the front guards so I called nelson at sydney guard rolling and got him out to roll all the guards and he flaired the fronts a little aswell. Did an excellent job, couldnt be happier with the results.

Once the photos have uploaded to photobucket I'll get them up here asap!

Fingers crossed I will have my centre and Y pipe along with front/rear sway bars and Anti lift kit in the coming weeks and the car will start looking and sounding how it should!

Well it was originally t.renshaw but we've had some issues with the shipment so I'm going to go to best mufflers and order it through them

How did you secure the inner liner at the front with the guards rolled?

Honestly mark I couldnt tell you... Had a quick look and I can't see anything that looks aftermarket holding the liner on there. But whatever it is, it's working so far.

Catback is officially ON! Can't speak highly enough of best mufflers sydney. Rang him at 2pm yesterday (Monday) to confirm my order for the x force centre and y-pipe, arrived today (tuesday) at 10 am. Impressed is certainly one way to describe it.

Will post a video tomorrow or thursday when I get a chance to take a video

Here is the drive by video. The video is on my private driveway. its 428 metres long....

unfortunately about 370 metres is pothole ridden :( so only the first 50/60 metres or so is good to get some speed, and about 20 metres before i come past there is a bend coming out of the gate. basically the video after the first minute when i make the first pass is purely for you to enjoy the scenery :D, I couldnt be bothered editing the video.

I've used Nelson for guard rolling myself - he's fantastic. I've debated about getting my fronts flared to properly clear my 8.5" +44 wheels as well - how much flare did Nelson get before there was going to be a risk of damaging the paint?

Can you give us some closer shots of your guard's profile?
I was going to procrastinate, but I put it off...
