[180roman]

you'll have to get LONG bolts and bore out the holes a tad.. I have to do the same for my Kia

Nah it should be alright, i might need a hub bore spacer as I think the bore on the wheels is a little too big, but the standard studs and wheel nuts fit pretty good.

I just really want to make sure the wheels are supported by the hut center and not the wheel studs as at that kind of camber I fear for their well being...

I know this feeling all too well.

dem feels

in for oni camber !

You'll need a tall tire, unless you're planing to drive on the inside of the wheel with that amount of camber.
I bet it will look awesome in the end, ill keep an eye on this.

The camber might end up a little more timid, only time will tell though, pretty sure I'm the first to attempt to modify the Crown semi trailing arms to gain more camber

if you can make those 15x12's fit. i will fly to your country. find you. and give you a really big hug

I will not rest until it fits lol

i will paypal you 5 bucks if you can get those bitches to actually fit. complete with GOOD quality youtube video of them in action lols

ha ha I'll do 1 burnout and then I'll wear through the sidewall and need new tires

I beeeeleeeeeeve

I wanna see this thing finished. Gonna look badass on these 15x12s!

Thanks

Ok I lied. I'm kind of impressed. I seriously can't wait to see this.

Thanks Ashton

I think like -10 degrees camber and pull/ roll will look better.. I want to see bozo son

I will be flaring the stock metal guards a bit, but there is only so much that can be done to fit that much poke

Camber should be more mild than what it was in the photos, but i won't know how much until I try

Yesterday after the battery sat on charge for a couple of days, I went out to get it running and she fired up straight away.

So it drove her out to get a wash.







High as a kite this car is, and thats with Kings low springs....

Most of that suspension stuff is going to be ditched anyway, so doesn't really matter for the moment

I then decided that I should trial fit the 15x12s...

Nothing could prepare you for what followed...







That is some fucking poke...

I then decided to try something more mild from my wheel collection

17x8 0 BBS RS









Not bad at all, looks like they would camber in nicely when lowered

Because this is the last ladder frame Crown model the body actually has little shocks that mount to the frame to make it feel like you are driving a couch



Solid frame = stiff chassis



I then decided that I need to see how I can mount the 15x12s to make them look like what I planned...










Yeah... thats gona be a lot of work....


In the mean time I need to do the following things before I can get to the fun part.
Replace leaking diff with a spare one.
Replace cracked tail light
Replace missing side mirror glass
Attempt to get Club Registration

[180roman]

Yes.

All of the yes.

oh roman. ohhhhhhhh

Thats sick man, subb'd

Thanks guys

Holy fucking American profanities, this is intense, looks like it's gonna be awesome!

Also have you thought of mixing some of the VIP scene in there too? I mean it is a luxury car, I think it would look cool with some window blinds/curtains, but thats just my opinion.

Thanks

Yeah I have considered making the curtains, but they are going to be something I'd do at the very end of the build. Not sure what colour though, red/burgundy to match interior or grey to match the plastic quarter inserts.

Leaning more to grey, but thats still ages away anyway.

omg i want to see more....

Thanks

Looks like a stock car minus a rear strut. Not impressed.

And by not impressed, I mean hurry the fuck up already.

Thanks, it takes a lot to impress you Ashton

What all these cunts said.

ooOPS my penis queefed

Thanks guys

The wheels themselves are rad as hell.
The car is rad,
but I can only imagine that had you posted a frontal shot of that test fit, it would be an insane amount of camber, or poke, or a combination of the two.
I am SO DOWN with a Kaido racer styled car, but I just want you to go bat shit crazy, because I feel you're gonna need to- flares, big chin spoiler, shark nose, the works!

Oh, and your 180 is awesome.

Thanks

Unfortunately there are legalities that I have to work around.
This car will already be stupidly illegal, hence I am going to stockpile all the standard parts for when I do get caught by police.
This means that pretty much big body mods are mostly out of the question only mods to bolt on parts

too much awesome for one night. I gotta log off

Thanks

This is fucking awesome.

One of these days I need to go back to Melbourne to visit.

Yes, we did win the Worlds most liveable city award 2 years running

this is gonna be bananas

Well I was considering vinyl wrapping some graphics that include yellow...

Thats it????

But wait... theres more...

nice bunch of wheels you got there !

Thanks
