I've got a trolley jack, axle stands, basic tools although I bought then for a Honda so some sizes missing..

Valve cover gasket is easy, springs are easy, oil is easy. Diff and gearbox fluids can be a pig. Depends how bad the filler and drain bolts are

Pakuranga, kinda being lazy finishing the engine, need a few gaskets, belts etc

A 15x9 with a 205 R888 on it is proven to be one of the fastest setups. Due to the stretch the tyre has less sidewall flex meaning more grip. Alot of testing done in the USA with wheel/tyre sizes

If you plan on holding on to the 225's I might take them off your hands as I'm planning on getting 16's for track tyres

Hands down best idea

Keen to help, have a reasonable set of tools with some oddies. I'm a few weeks off doing my engine swap so might be able to use my place depending on weather/Mrs

You're bang on with the order to do things in. Just remember you'll make a bigger dent in laptimes with suspension, brakes, tyres and seat time than power. I'd be inclined to get some semi slicks on it and take it straight out on the track. Then get some suspension in and good brake fluid in, then r...

You've got a few "best options". Here's how I see it. Avoid an early NA - They have a short nose crank that commonly has faults. This isn't a deal breaker, hell, my track hack has one. However if you ever need to rebuild it might mean a complete swap. I'd take a 2002 NB Sport for a already done pack...

They contract out of liability Go with Bridgestone, no problems there

Achilles 123, Bridgestone re11 or similar semi slick compound? Nitto?

Thought of going to 1 inch wider than you want and stretching something on? Should remove sidewall flex too

Do they have to be 16" ?

I already have a window thingy, but thanks for the offer

Yeh I wouldn't be too concerned about brand, do they fit, are they comfy, are you happy with the looks? Then go hard

Stolen from my build thread... So! Went to buy some seats, found out they were shit. Full of holes etc, got mad, woke up 2 days before my birthday thinking "Gay... no birthday present". Accidentally brought up my previous Momo search on trademe and low and behold, a set were up in Rewa for $400... T...

Is that oil on the thread?

Yeh but he said he wanted someone to photoshop them on. Saved the trouble

Angreal, they look like RC Starks, I'm rocking a set Although I don't think any of the 3 variants ever came in 6 stud.

Usually the side skirts would bolt up BEHIND the inner guard. Probably the problem there

Whether your brakes are up to scratch is subjective to the certifier. They road test the car so if they decide it cant stop fast enough, you'll need to work on them

Are they genuine or aftermarket? I've got 2 opinions on this. 1. The job is shit, the gaps are unnacceptable considering the price. However 2. If they're fibreglass or aftermarket there's a chance that they've been produced so many times that the mould is shit. If theyre this bad then there's not mu...

My latches are black too. It happens when you lay on the coats too thick, with too few. You do lots of medium thickness coats (Thicker than normal paint). As it self levels, if that was normal paint you would've had a right mess

Has it had its charcoal canister removed? Fuel pressurizes more with heat I think, might be venting into the bay?

They're Heros. Basically rebranded federals. Refusing to buy my semi slicks until I have my new wheels

Engine comes out this week so on with the build

Expected: Oil too hot, could only get in about 10-12 laps before I had to cool down. Unexpected: Split the valve cover to intake breather hose and pissed oil over my manifold, obviously it's old and brittle Tyres started going off far sooner than I expected when I was drifting, they were still fine ...
