Can vouch for GTRadial. have run them in both 17" and 16" and they provide excellent grip (never lost the back end unintentionally even under hard cornering on power) and are reletively cheap, im pretty sure they do a 15" as well

Nice! i really wanna go but i couldnt take time off for Big Day Out and also the Top Gear show and none of my close mates are into cars so BDO won

Jelous! hahaha i love lego as well

Money for M52, jack stands, trolley jack, 300 odd worth of petrol, chocolates, other random sh*t...

^^^This

and the alpinas?

im interested too as potentially an alternative

badass your the expert lol. im pretty sure they are though how much further in/out will the sit on the inside of the wheel if you know? have to look after my struts!

looking for one of the above engines. either way just let me know what you have. preferabally if you have it still installed and so i can hear it running that would be great. Edit: wellington would be excellent. north island is okay. and/or ZF Manual box

oh true. i would have thought the handling would have been better because of the wheels being further out? Edit: Just got a reply. they are 8" wide. so guard roll front and back, camber plates for the front and i should be good to go? they are three piece wheels as you'll probably know so i could get a smaller outside drum put on them correct? any issue with the inner gaurds at all?

are you using the plates?

I currently have Peice of sh*t 17x7 et42 FWD rims. so they sit further into the guards than stock and look horrible, especially with MT2. The et0 rims will make a huge difference in overall appearance. Im still waiting to hear back from the guy as to the width. Am i going to have to roll either way? The only person i know with them had pulled fenders before they were put on from different rims anyways so doesnt know if they clear stock guards. (i was run off the road on my last 17s and buggered both left hand rims and had no money at the time and insurance wouldnt pay and so i had to get the cheapest rims i could in 17" as the tyres were brand new)

wtf?

yes they are the et0 ones. just trying to find out if they are the 7" or 8" wide versions. I have GTRadials. Do you think i will notice a difference in grip downgrading to 195s? i definately noticed an increase between 175s that were on there originally and the 205s on their now

how much if you dont mind me asking?

10 and 14 to get the bolts off (may be wrong on the 10, i know the 14 is right though) that hold the gearbox/tranny to the engine, havent cracked a gearbox open though so i dont know what the deal is inside it

I feel using up his time in this busy part of the year unfair when i have a set already lined up and therefore wont be buying from him anyways, but ill ring when i get some time. meanwhile, anyone else run them?

I know they are an aquired taste (and hence expect flaming) but im thinking of getting a set. what sort of tyres do you need to run to get them to clear the guards or is rolling the guards essential? Stretched tyre is ftw so am happy to do that. I have a set of 205/50/16s here with 80% tread so will they work? Edit: ideally id like to hear from someone who has first hand experience and has/has tried to put 002's on thier car, but if anyone else knows let me know thanks

very undecided on eyelids, but they definately look better in black regardless of the colour of the car imho. bbut your car looks really nice! where did you get your rearview mirror from? ebay?

Dammit! paid more for mine! *palmface* is going to be soooo good!

yeah thats what i meant how? (not smart comment, genuinley interested.. maybe PM as its OT?)

True but thats usually only on really high preformance systems. im runing 1950W worth of amplification on full tit when i want to and it doesnt do that. A resistance of virtually zero

Already is

bump

I hate working part time... im working 6 days for the next two weeks haha. only days off the 25th and the 1st! But merry xmas all from me too!
