  1. Those wheels were the original performance superlites before they changed moulds to look more like minilites.

     

    I too know the horrendous pain of not knowing whether wheels would fit with struts. Pic on last page of my tread. Although you don't need nuch space if the tyres stay well inflated :-D

     

    Have ypu cut the original guards out from behind the flares?

  2. Are those wheels original style performance superlights mate?

    Loving the fitment :-D

    What offset and width you running?

    I'm fitting 2 inch flares to my car shortly and I have been looking for pics of what a decent sized set of flares will look like.

    Your flares look the goods!

     

    Nice job :-)

     

     

  3. Hello all.

     

    Long time no post.

     

    Have recently moved house and had a baby boy so the car is on the backburner.

     

    Will start building again shortly.

    The blow is sitting next to engine to work out its positioning on the intake manifold. I am now searching for a 1.8L honda FD civic power steering pulley as that is the perfect size to spin the S/C up to 8.5 psi ( not counting loss throught the intercooler)

     

     

     

    The wheels clear the strut by a small amount, so I'm very happy ATM.

    New Exedy HD clutch and bearings installed. Have reinstalled gearbox and put on a new Slave cylinder.

  4. So my missus decided we should buy a caravan.

    I have convinced her to let me style the outside and she can decide on interior finishes. So its going to look like the modified corolla so it will match for summernats :-)

     

    This may be the only caravan to have ever been fitted with Yokohama advans :-/

  5. I have done the calculations and to have 7-8 psi the charger will be spinning at 9700 rpm when the engine is at redline (9200).

    The m90 max rpms is 12000 so I will be well below the superchargers maximum speed. The roots style charger is a very efficent air heater approaching its max rpm so this is why I cannot run more boost as even with a a2w intercooler the intake temp will be quite high.

    I have negated the need to run a clutch on the charger by using a bypass valve off a mini cooper s ( the little throttle looking thing). This is operated from intake vacuum and at anything other then full throttle the valve is open so at least half of the intake air misses the supercharger meaning better economy and less stress on the engine.

     

    Just need to get the cardboard mock up intake fabricated. Hopefully wont be too exxy as the standard intake runners are being used cut down by about 3 inches.

     

    The buggest problem with my setup at this stage is finding a decent throttle body. The stock throttle body is a bit small but its hard finding a decent throttle body for a good price..... Skunk2 are almost $800 in Sydney and the ebay ones are of questionable quality.

  6. Hello all.

     

    New hankook rs3 225s are on my wheels.

    Engine has been fully rebuilt, down to every single bolt. It has been painted and most parts to be polished are 90% done.

    New exedy hd clutch is purchased.

    Manifold is currently being cut up to fit the supercharger and is having a water to air intercooler installed inside the new plenum.

    Have also removed all evap system and secondary air valve system and have managed to remove about 15kg of defunct polution gear. Tapped and screwed grub screws into the exhaust ports for the air valve as its no longer in place.

     

    Supercharger weighs about 15kg so I have added what i took away.

     

    Am aiming to run 6-8 psi so should see 350-400rwhp. Will post again when i have finished the custom intake.

  7. Hello all.

     

    now have a new toy to play with.

    an eaton m90 supercharger is now being fitted to the f20c and will be running 5 or 6 psi. Not hoping for that much more power, just more of a mid range kick as honda engines arent known for having any torque.

     

    The intake manifold is being chopped up to remove the redundant secondary air valve, and the exhaust ports for the same system are being tapped and grub screws inserted as they are useless without the air valve.

  8. And for the sake of being different, ke20 cowl vents are being welded to where the ke30 flat vents were, as i am sick of a possum shitting in my cowl panel and being unable to throughly wash it out.

    2 inch flares will be welded to the car front and back to cover the epic offset.

     

    Sorry the project has been sooo slow but ive had other things on my plate

  9. Pics I promised of daily driver earlier.

    New front mounted transmission cooler has been fitted, the interior plastics have been sprayed, rust has all been repaired and brand new headligjts have been fitted.

    I know the pics posted of the guard repairs are from different side guards but they were both rusted out so i did the same repair on both sides.

  10. Hello All.

     

    Nothing much happening to the F20C rollabut have been slowly restoring my daily driver due to rust.

    Rust is fixed, boot lock has been deleted and a ke70 boot latch has been fitted along with an ae92 boot cable and popper.

    I have installed "NEW" (NOS) Blaupunkt velocity components and 5x7s and a blaupunkt 5 channel amp and my pioneer sub.

    Just need to get a new seat of window rubbers and door seals as they are stuffed and leaking into the boot :-(

    Pics will follow Soon

  11. I purchased an old ta22 brake booster to refurb, as running the s2000 booster would not let me run a standard toyota clutch master cylinder.

     

    The daily drive rolla has also had work done on it. A fully recoed 3k and two speed, guards taken off to fix the rust under the dash and the boot lock has been deleted due to some prick prying my old lock out :-(

  12. Skyline GTR wheels ended up not fitting due to the coilovers being too thick.

     

    So bought the last set of Performance superlites available in Australia since the company closed down in DEC 2014.

     

    I purchased two 14x6 +24 off set and four 14x8 -4 offset. The 14x6 ended up hitting my front calipers so a 3mm spacer would be needed, or i might just run the 14x8 all round and have a workout ever time i change direction in a parkpark.....
