harpy barfday pauling!

There's no point me getting worked up on other people's opinions on the Internet

Mm yeah I would think some people wouldn't like the mod's I've done to the car, it's all tofit the wheels and cruise around town. If I wanted to 'drive' the car, I could easily put the works on and get an alignment and it would be exactly the same car as before and would go as hard.

Don't really mind personal attack attempts too haha, I know I'm young and driving around a car that a person my age should not own but it was a 21st birthday present from dad and I can't really say no if he offers it.

Now he regrets me getting the 330 and wants to get me an M3.

Someone could take a stab at me for being a spoilt Asian but if you were in my seat, I'm preeetyy sure no one would refuse if your old man offered you a car for your 21st haha.

haha this is great.

I respect everyone's opinions as everyone is different so this doesn't get to my head at all.

I did like how the car was before but I couldn't just buy josh's work and claim it as my own, there is no fun in that.

And I'm 20 btw, I'm young I know that and I like colour thus the change and plus, I bought the car so I can do what I like with it

different car scenes like different things I suppose.

I'll be Ronald for your sister if she wants me to be

Damn [ M3 V8 ] on Hobson St today.. THAT ORANGE! Wowsa. It looks like it needs to go FAST.

I see it around new market all the time.. man that is one killer orange colour and car.

nope, thats only if you go over 40km but i was only 38

Saw in person today and DAMN she's fine!!! Thank's again for everything today. iou

haha all good peter, once you get your new vehicle, you can give me a ride haha!

The car looks alot better in person than in pictures

Will see if I come to the mega meet!

I guess I like the whole sticking out wheels look.

But the stretch tire look isn't dangerous though, the tire manufacture states that its fully legal and safe.

each to their own I guess!

Looking good!

tight on the brake clearance haha!

ooo thanks peter, still according to that the read has to be within the guard and thats all it says o.O

oh, doesnt the law only state that only the tread has to be within the guards? o.O

this is them now.

ah yeah, I didn't mean to sound like I was rebutting haha.

The tires are falken fk452's and on the falken website, it says its ok to have it on a 9.5' rim.

the fronts are toyo proxy4's and 215's which also states on their website its ok to go for a 8.5' rim so its still legal

edit:

just saw your edit glenn haha, and I had john at "Guardworks" come around last night at 9pm and pumped the guards out, now the guards sit exactly the same line as the wheel rim

but the rim width is the same as josh's old wheels.

19x9.5 and 19x 8.5?

may I ask why is that a WOF fail? tires are all in legal limits.

how much does it cost to paint mags just wondering?

Give grant a call at GT refinishers and he'll give you a quote!

whoaa that looks expensive haha.

I've painted the wheels already so I'll just roll the guards a little, it'll work!

Guy is coming around at 9pm and doing it then!

If youre going all out .. Buy some spare wing mirror covers and paint them to balance it They are just covers that can be removed easy enough and im pretty sure ray will have some up there to test it on.

Also the boot 'spoiler' lip ... all the same colour as the wheels.

Carbon fiber Vorstiener splitter and done ..

Now you have changed the grill and inner headlights maybe tint the front side markers darker to match.

haha! the wing mirror thing has been done to death so i'm going with something abit different this time

the boot spoiler isnt a bad idea too, but im wanting to red out the taillights with some vinyl film so that might be enough red at the back?

splitter wise, still thinking which one i want to go for might just custom it and make my myself!

yeah! i still havent got time to doing that yet, I was going to open up the headlights and tint the inside so there wouldn't be anything stuck on the outside the coppies will see!

ahhh I see I see, The fronts are ok, the offset on the fronts are perfect and have no issues, its just the back.

So the back seems to be ok to roll just maybe 2-3mm out.

that must of been ALOT of coin to do that! If I ever spent however much you spent on this car, i would never sell it haha!

and i find it silly how thick the double skin is on the lip of the guard.. its about 10mm thick!

ahhh thanks for that josh!

and for the camber side of things, I just went to the alignment specialist and decreased the camber from -1.5 to -2.5 and nope, still rubbing..

I've organised a guard roller to come around and try work the back out a TAD so it doesnt rub, its mostly on the left hand thats rubbing.

and josh, by what you said, you mean the rears were cut then pumped out then welded back on?

edit:

and yep! GT refinishers painted them! good guys they are, willing to help always and grant is a good guy haha

yeeep! haha, and also all legal tire specs!

will see you soon.

yep! I still have the works, they will be my spare wheels haha, If I ever felt like a spirited drive, i'll put those on

hmm unsure about trackday though, abit too far to travel!

Yep, guards are getting rolled this weekend, if rolling doesnt work im going to chop out the inner lip with a dremel so i have more clearance and camber is at 1pm!

there is more photos, alot better than iphone photos haha!

enjoy:

haha cheers, some people like it, some people dont.

sam, the front actually doesnt poke much at all haha, the front is more flush and if i rang the 9.5 up front, they would poke our like a bitch and i would probably need to raise the front to be able to turn haha

different opinions haha, I guess I am young and im into the stance car scene thus these wheels and plus, I like colour.

I need to do something about the inner lip on the rears, why is the e46 guard lip like a square! possible to guard roll it out?

Was hoping to go at it with a dremel and hack the inside lip off.
