haha as if I would!




I'd love one.

alpharx7

looks good.

got in contact with matt@jdmwheels regarding a set, they don't make the offset i require, so thats another manufacturer down the gurgler.

Doc

What offset do you require?

I don't know what I want lol
Would rather have the exhaust done, cai and ecu with a tune first

This Doc,love the sound of a WRX with a nice system,for me it's on a par with an old school V8.I helped a good mate of mine
fit an EJ25 to a 1974 volkswagen Lbug.I did all the welding for the coolant pipes and exhaust.Unequal length headers....sounds great,
but a giveaway to what is otherwise a great sleeper.

Draven

Im not a fan of the sound of a Rexy with a full exhaust just something about it that does my head in lol

Doc

Got a have the cai to go with the sound of the zorst, the aps cai sounds sweet, had that on the 00

alpharx7

need something like +6 or zero for the front, 7.5 or 8" rim, rear would be +6 on the 9.75" rim.

been looking at a wheel made by billet specialties, via summit racing, unfortunately it's not load rated.

i've emailed both summit and bs for technical details, summit have replied so far, that bs don't provide load ratings for their wheels, but that they are designed for street use.

I'm not talking about a twin system or a 4 inch fart can hanging off the back,but if you shorten one of the headers (which we had to do to get the exhaust to fit in under the back valance) and into a single exhaust box,it gets a nice burble.Your Fairlane,with a twin system,and no balance pipe,or resonator boxes,would give me the same sort of 'chubby',probably a bit harder

Draven

Best thing about the Fairlane, very easy to find wheels for it

RedruM

what you want.. is a big slice of cheese to go with those wheels.

alpharx7

easy enough to find cheaper older style rims, on account of you not needing larger diameters.

once you start needing 17" or bigger, then you'll find the offsets aren't suitable / go to far inwards.

i'm looking at billet wheels now, have reduced my size preference down from 20"s to 18's. found these centrelines on summit racing.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cll-9198957545/overview/

they make an 8" front with 0 offset that i can use for the front. not to badly priced.

the wheels i was looking at last night, made by billet specialties, aren't load rated, even though their desinged for street use, so until the manufacturer answers my enquiry, they're off the radar.

alpharx7

this is the 8"

alpharx7

i'll probably end up painting the centres with plastidip, if i go with this choice.

alpharx7

and / or, that the price of the rims, are between $685 usa to $1000 plus per rim.

which is silly money to spend on a set, when i know my preference is for spending about 8k on changing my turbo set up to 2 x 35gtx turbo's, 50mm wastegate's etc

Draven

im looking at a set of 15 X10" 12 slotters $600 for the set

alpharx7

i'd be snapping that up. i take it they're second hand?

i looked into dragway (pro's), couldn't find much in the way of sizing and offsets.

Zimma

WTB: Way out of retail or other shitty jobs...

Ralli

*waves*

Zimma

Sup?

Ralli

not much, just killing time while my boy is at tutoring ....

you ?

Zimma

Tired, sick of retail, kicking back reading the webs while a storm is brewing.

ShanO`

Ralli

I'm sitting at a library waiting for my son to finish tutoring ...... lol

I am sick of work , it's annoying .. Holden in their wisdom have decided to completely change the way we look for a car, retail a car and well general day to day stuff, half of my cars i don't even know when they are arriving.. They implemented something with what seems like no testing... I knew there were going to be bugs, but OMFG there are sooooo many bugs and it's just unbelievable .. you would think after 3 weeks some of them would be fixed, but they fix one thing and BAM! there is another one that appears ....

The boys are getting shitty with me because I can't tell them where their sold cars are, and the customer are getting shitty too

It's ridiculous ....

Then not to mention people decide that they want to take half a day off them have a bloody lunch break and not do any work, while I am flat out trying to get sh!t done

bad day ? Yeh ..

/end rant

Zimma

Lol yeah sadly an awful lot of businesses have confusing bullshit policies, I'm scratching my head at one I can't disclose right now..

I mean yeah it's cool I totally wanted extra hours on the weekend to make up for your fcukup, yes I definitely wanted to start at 8 instead and do till 5:30.... Not like I'm on a 12 hour contract and hate working retail or anything

I mean only doing over double my contract and feeling slightly suicidal during every boring as fcuk shift

Draven

Not sure they are on some wheel website a mate showed me

alpharx7

this is available for those in the know.

Doc

Ze afternoon,

Can see that pic on mobile site

alpharx7

it's a youtube video doc.

i hate to think the general public thinks that we may be up to no good.

Doc

Ahyes just watched the clip,
Could be okay, he forgot his hammer though lol

alpharx7

well on that vein, he'd also probably also need to have a drunken street fight / punch a photographer.

might sit down later and watch it, after i'm back from the gym.

fearlesss

Hey does anyone remember that awesome BMW owner video that I think sharpy posted it ?
It's like a video done for the owner and it starts of with him loosing to a merc on the streets, and then he puts some upgrades on it and tunes it. then at the end goes back and beats the merc ?

alpharx7

not me, sry. pm sharpie perhaps.

Bob

fcuking wife material there. man i just want to start drumming again!!! stupid back injury

fearlesss

She would have a bigger penis than most men (lesbo)
You must have a pretty bad back to not be able to play drums ?

Shuffs

Guess I'm showing my age here,but I like my women a bit older,and the music a bit less Metal,both really talented though,and it is frustrating,when
an injury prevents you from doing some thing you love to do,especially backs,as it is a hidden injury.No one can really see how much pain you're
in apart from all the bite marks on your door architraves.
