Just needs more low and those red moulds re-painted red and it'll be mint :D
Maybe get some EF tail lights?


Yeah looks like its 4WD height lol. Yeah I need to go over it with the Autoglym again. Not keen on the Altezza's?


Your car actually pulls them off being white but I'm not a huge fan of them on any car lol, but thats just my opinion :)

With the wheels rubbing, I think thats the ball joint?
What size tyres are you running on the front

Hmm 245s up front might be too wide?

I remember when I tried some 19" Dark Argents on mine with 235 tyres there was literally a few mm's of clearance between the ball joint and tyre.

Don't quote me on this, but you might be able to grind the ball joint down if its only just hitting...

I probably have 3mm between the tyre and ball joint at the moment, So I it is possible to file it back it would be handy

The ball joint and tyre will not hit if you keep the same size tyre no matter how low you go.

So I picked the Pacemaker Comps up from Ausedwagon the other day, top bloke! :)

http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/ab14 ... 11ad62.jpg

Looking into getting them cleaned up a bit.

HPC in leongatha seem alright:

- $253 for a coat of HP1 Polished Alloy finish.
- $33 for a Chemical Clean

It's not a bad price, so probably get them to do it. Just need to see if CVE open them to 3" before or after the coating and clean.

But the car is starting to come along nicely, hopefully soon it will become a bit more competitive and unique once I get the next stage of mods done.

Yeah I have a budget of $800 for the trip already, apart from getting two new tyres the car will be going up as it is, will start getting Paccies, ECU, Fuel Pump etc on once we get back. What is he getting done? Only a tune? Yeah will be good to represent him up there.
