hijack warning !
Is this your new ride Barry ?
What happened to your last one, and the Vforce front struts that were under it ?
Looks hot with those wheel too !
Bizarre ·
Yep - new ride
New Debut!!
Had for a couple of weeks - just wanted to wait till Richard got the new wheels in for the Nationals.
All the benefits of Porsche without the 5 bolt expense!

Looks nice Barry, real nice. First pics I've seen of your new ride...she looks pretty straight. You going to keep the rims as is or get them polished sometime?
Bizarre ·
the rain and pics dont do these wheels justice
they have polished outside rims and real shiny/deep grey on the spokes and the rest.
Richard has them in "all polished" as well = i think?? Alex???
LOVE them they way they are.
Going to have this baby at the nats.
You can have a look there and we can sneek off to the "quiet room" for a sherbert and discuss things there.

I owe you a beer by the way anyway Barry, instead of some KKs. :beer

26 degrees, sunny, and a designated driver.

Very Nice. I think you need to drop it just a bit lower though🙂
Bizarre ·
It has all been a bit quick
The front is perfect.
WHEN the wheels are square they fill the guards perfectly. As i said b4, it is raining and i just wanted some quick snaps
The back needs tocome down.
I need to replace the torsion bar gromments so i will do it then.
I dont looked "sik - bro, dumped!!" It more looks HSV lowered type subtle stance
I is VERY HAPPY with the out caome
EgeWorks ·
It's got to be just low enough so there isn't a big colour ring around the wheel from the inside of the guard. My opinion only🙂 I'm just excited coz I'm gettin a set of V-Force struts in the mail real soon! Can't wait!

Agreed... that is how the front looks.
The back needs to be dropped a bit to over come that.
PS

You getting the camber thingies as well????

Hi Barry
They look great, just need to give those brake drums a lick of paint. If the rest of the car is as clean as under the mudguards it must a very clean car.

Che Castro ·
wow very nice 🙂 still have to see these wheels in the flesh. I reckon the polished spoke ones would look the shiznit
boersch ·
all it needs now's a whale tail and you're set!

I have learned my lesson - "I dont have time!"
Yes - this is a very tidy finished car.
Hmmmmm boersch......I think some clear lenses are in order.
Che Castro ·
Much better in that pic baz...
in the weeds 😉
squizy ·
If only we could get supers THAT low....
BiX ·
looking good barry. i found 205/60r15 on the rear filled the guards out really nice with 6 inch steelies. they also fill teh gurads out with the current empi 8's.
if only they made them in 16 or 17.......................
cray ·
doesn't necessarily need to be lowered, just needs the insides of the guards painted black 😉

boersch ·

Thanks - i am amazed what a change from 60 series to 65 series on the rear made!
Still have the 60's on the front - just changed the rears.
Going to sit on my hands now and enjoy! 😉

its all about getting the right stance. here is a pic of mine. the wheels are and car a very dust as was running in a grass motokhana. Its not as low as i would like (its nice with a few race tires in the back and tools in the front) but don't want to low so it can still handle some of the bumps.
