favourite wheel shape evar. any interior pics? looks cool

Orange and black looks the goods.

ill get some interior pictures soon!

 

getting rego next tuesday for this. Tyres being fitted to rims today, might paint the rim centres black. Its almost impossible to find a t18 front bar, might have to bite the bullet and spend the $330 on ones from Thailand or wherever.

love the rims mate, the gold star ones i mean. JDM!! :laff:

thankgod someone bought this!

Looks good and I like those wheels

Nice purchase. Not only are those monza seats ugly but they would have to the most uncomfortable seats I have ever owned!!

I'm diggin the gold wheels too, but your right black centers

would look sweet.

 

Stu.

I'm under 6ft and I'm almost at the roof, definitely not suited for a corolla. Might order a bride Monday.

 

Just waiting for ra65 arms so I can put everything together, RCA's will be here Monday and I have Tuesday off to go register the car. Will hopefully get a lot done next week.

 

Thanks for the kind words people (:

Sooooooooooo those wheels are 110 not 114.3 stud pattern so theyre getting returned and i might buy some 14x9 mk2's, or if anyone knows of old 5 stud ford centrelines for sale ill buy them ;)

 

Got rego yesterday and picking up my steering arms tonight. Oh and RCA's came from AJPS on Monday.

haha already on the job!

have fun with her buddy :D

finally got front suspension sorted, just need to get a wheel allignment

coilovers don't go low enough so its mexican and rear guards need a roll for hurricanes but easy done.

 

 

 

f@$k yeah!!!

you could always run no rails, like fixed position, doesn't get any lower than that. An extended boss kit might also make it more comfortable

went to a drift day on the weekend and definetly need lower seats smacked my hemlet into the roof a coupe times, ill look into the rails and see what i can do.

 

Really happy with how it slid, would have been better if my handbrake was working but had fun either way, ill get some photos up when i get some may even be a video there

 

as it currently sits:

 

 

gave it a wax and paint came up nice. spent about 2 hours cleaning and vaccuming broken glass out of it from when the previously owner had solex locks in it and they rusted so he couldnt unlock it and he smashed a window.

 

Dropped it off to get my handbrake looked at, we'll see how that goes
