Having a colour like lime green makes the brakes the standout feature. It doesn't have to tie in with anything as long as there is not too much going on.

Thats it, oh and yellow or blue are my second choice

Are they brembos?

they will be brembo's, yes i've painted my stockers black and they are staying that way

You could do the brakes Bright yellow.

Tie in nicely with the plates..........


Car looks great, will be super interested to see pics with the wheels on. Ive been eyeing off something in that sort of style.

aww c'mon matt!

when im a few weeks away from going back to NSW (im in VIC at the moment) ill be ordering my plates

Wheels and coilovers will be going on the car around the 13th so ill chuck some photo's up asap!

That's some mighty fast shipping! Should look good. Look forward to seeing them (and the Outback bonnet ) in a few weeks time.

Thanks Piers! you'll love the OB bonnet
I was surprised at how quick it was for them to ship the wheels from Perth, they turned up on the Tuesday, but it was scheduled for a Wednesday delivery.

Thanks BBB was going to do a test fit this weekend and upload a pic but unfortunately that will have to wait, the Project Kiks lug nuts I have are too wide to fit in the lug holes ... (might chuck up a FS thread in the not too distant future)

Im going to get the coilovers and LCA bushes fitted on Thursday, and order some new nuts that fit, when they come in ill get the wheels on.

As for rubber, im just going to continue using these über shitty Federal Formoza FD2's that are on my stockies (215/45/18) then going to try out the Kumho KU36 (225/40/18) and when they wear out, eventually move up to Toyo T1R, recommended by a friend in the tyre business of course

[bigBADbenny]

Keep us posted with the tyre intel!

I've got a question for all of the Audio Guru's... as i dont know much about audio installation myself

I've already got my hands on a FUSION CA-DA51600 5 Channel amp, 1600w
Im planning to run the stock system with an aftermarket head unit and upgrading the rear sub

The rated power is:
80 Watts RMS x 4 - 250 Watts x 1 @ 4ohms 1%THD+N
130 Watts RMS x 4 - 330 Watts x 1 @ 2ohms 1%THD+N

Would I be better off purchasing a 4ohm Sub or 2ohm Sub ?

also.............

In the chance I decide to run a separate sub box in the rear (2 x 12" subs or 2 x 10" subs), would i be able to run another Mono block/or what ever amp I need to power the subs?

Im guessing none of the above makes sense, I dont have a clue what im talking about

-----------UPDATE-----------
The car is going in on thursday to get the LCA bushes and coilovers put on.
Wheels wont be going on till early next week at the latest, as the lug nuts I have dont fit so I have to order new ones

[SH30RB]

I picked up my car on thursday afternoon after getting the KiDo coilovers and LCA bushes installed.
GOD!!! it feels great so far! really happy with my decision

My lug nuts came in the mail today so i went down to get my wheels fitted up (same place)

But on initial test fitment, it looked a little something like this...



So they told me they werent going to fit them because in the end, they are the ones who are putting the wheels on.
A few guys have told me it will fit once the car is sitting on the ground,
so i might head over to the other tyre shop in town to put a tyre on for a test fit and see how it looks.

I dont really want to go through the hassle of trying to sell these rims.

[rooby]

They definitely should fit.
They're +42 right?

Once your car is lower they will tuck in a bit.

I have 7.5 +45 with 235s and they fit fine. I would actually like to go to an 8-8.5 +42.

Mine would have fit without mods to guards except I went pretty low.

Just find someone else who will fit them and they'll turn out ok.

Yep, 18 x 8 +42

Yeah im going to head over to the other shop in town, hopefully they do it. ill be using 215/45/18's too

the guys on the FB page have said they should tuck in in the back. he also only had one nut holding the wheel on which affected how it was sitting

[rooby]

Definitely. My 235s didn't scrub at the back even when I had it low enough to have half the tyre sidewall up in the guard.

Thanks Reuben Ill hopefully get them on tomorrow

Ill let them know what everyone has said about how they will tuck in once lowered

[cruisn]

Pffft, easy as dimensions.

You have coilovers which have camber tops Id assume.....looks like they coilovers are just fitted with factory zero camber.

Run some front neg camber and roll the rears. You'll have no fitment issues.
