The quest for meaty fitments and fasts. In a fwd hatch... wut?

[SilentCool]

Nice build, I like where this is heading.

[bjk]

I feel I sympathise with you a lot, haha. "ice-planed" my FTO in hail trying to pull over to avoid said hail, and ran into a parked Colt. Also defected for wheel poke.

Evo 8's look nice, but those Equips are mint. When they going back on?

[Thom]

Did the FTO arms. Couldn't do the sway bar or rack bushes. Ran out of time. Dun goofed with one side of the ALK so one wheel sits to far back rather then at centre. The nub thing just isnt in the hole I think :/

Have some pics..

Arm out.


Arm in.


FTO arm Vs Lancer arm. Its about 15-20mm wider. Just measure from the top/end of the ball joint to the back of the mount on both.

CE


FTO (Brother failed at taking a better photo directly over it)



Both together. ALK bushes are on the fto :3

[Thom]

Evos look good on eerything. Im surprised 17's seem to big for the model size...

I think its just the face design. In person they seem to fit pretty good.


Did some skids in 2nd. Was suprised it could do that. Anyway. Car ran well. I didn't ha. Only got a 15.6 but kept spinning the first 100ft.




Also realised I never posted a bay shot. So here iz juan.



Also 215/45 rsr on e8




Also washed it finally. And put M-seal by Chemical guys on it. So shiny :3

Yea brah. Fit mint actually. Been lucky so far with 17in wheels. They have both fit mint and look rad.

[sleeps]

EVO's?

[Thom]

Borrowed some wheels to mount my rsr's too. I quite like them.

[Thom]

Small part of the turbo puzzle but its a start. Was told its a ball bearing t28. Either way it was cheap.

[Thom]

Engine out. Should be in the mirage in a week or 2. Hopefully after next weekend..

[Thom]

Found some slightly different caps from some dude. Painted em. Hammered them in. Resealed wheels. Hope it sets for tomorrow.

[Thom]

Got my wheerlz back. Ended up changing the barrels from the 8's to the 7s and the 7's to the 8's so it ends up being 17x7.5 all round annd no idea on the offset. But 1 pair has more dish the the other.

Before and after as such.. Litterally cleaned them and sprayed some gunmetal colour over the crinkle coat. Turned out ok I think.



Annnnd all done. Wheels are bolted together with black bolts. sealing them tomorrow night. RSR's wensday hopefully.






Also found a pair of centre caps but they are early equip caps I think. But better then none for now.

dang I almost took out my front end but luckily swerved to miss a monster wombat the other night

Super impressed with the whole execution and styling direction this is headed in...not to mention its fitted excellently for such a relatively quick build...and its still got more to come it seems.

I love how 17s fill out your guards...thats how 18's would fill out mine and this just makes me want to step up to 18s again now haha

I've almost hit a few smaller things on mountain runs. But the cow. Wut. I blinked and it was in the lane... Within 10 seconds of me smashing into its head it was gone. So mad.

Thanks man. Trying to smash it out so I can either boost this bitch or by a nissan and daily this.

Yea 17's look baller. But going away from "stance". I cant drive it, And police seem to have the opinion lip hanging out the guard is bad. So ill use baller wheels in bitch sizes on track and stuffs.


Do it if it fits. I actually like the focus when its done tastefully. But faaark I want your panasports!!! So nice!

Only in Australia.

Yup... Everything is why we can't have nice things :'(
