Ginger Ninja *New Wheels*

by **Ginger Ninja** » Thu Jan 01, 2009 9:58 am

So I've owned my 04 2.5i wagon for a bit over a year now and never really considered adding anything to it. Well, maybe just some new tyres to get rid of some fairly hideous under-steer in the wet.

Ignorance was bliss (and much more affordable). Then I stumbled over this site and saw the photos of some of the members rides :shock:

As a result I now have new wheels, tyres and f/r swaybars on the way. I've only added the front grille so far but I'm sure it's a slippery slope.

Cheers,
Darren

Updated: New wheels finally arrived. 18x8 +45 Tenzo Type M in charcoal grey. They've certainly filled out the arches a bit better. I really want to get rid of the tractor-like gap at the front though.

Welcome to the forum, you can not resist the urge to mod and once you start.... he he he.

And there are a lot more other things you can do to get rid of understeer... :wink:

Welcome!

Is that direction "down" ?

Yeah I was waiting for that. Lowering will be the next step but I don't think I'd be happy with springs as the gap would still be uneven. Coilovers would be perfect but a bit spendy and maybe overkill on an NA car?

I'm not really interested in any engine or zorst mods, just handling. I got a good deal on some 18x8 Tenzo Type M V1 in charcoal grey with Hankook K107's and some Whiteline sways.

New wheels are on, stereo bits going in next week.

Now frantically searching for some sort of spray that works on the mod bug. Little ****er bit me months back and I can't seem to kill him.
