Mr TNT Man visited YAY! RIMSSSSSSSSSSSS +++++SUPERCAR TYRE WICKED!! THE S15 280MM BRAKES LOOK SO SMALL I HAVE R33 GTS-T ROTORS AND CALIPERS 300MM WILL BE ENOUGH FOR 800KG AND 10 LAP RACES, I'm SAD ABOUT THE S15 HUBS THEY HAVE BEEN CUT AND SHUT FOR MORE LOCK SO I'm GETTING THEM SENT BACK AND SOME STOCK ONES WITH NORMAL STEERING ARMS :) PULLED THE SPRING OFF THE OHLIN FRONT SHOCK WOW! THE DIFFERENCE FROM FULL HARD TO FULL SOFT IS AMAZING!

Those wheels are so good!

I hear they are crazy light, did you weigh one before you put the tyres on?

ive only put one tyre on there pretty light ayye a little bit heavier then magnesium supercar rim

Ohlins are for sale i bough 4 way adjustable penskes out of a supercar :) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130617210422?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

Whats that book like mitch ?

Not to sure if you seen this video

Thinking of doing my panels like this , had a look at them on the weekend and they all seems pretty simple.

Going to run PVC piping in a square shape between the layers of fibreglass to give the bonnet a bit of strength.

I'm doing boot,engine cover,bonnet and fenders.
