Like i said on fb. Looks fucking hot. Love those wheels! Im glad you put them on because i've only seen that ED with the rebels.
I wanted to avoid 19's too and these look like they fill the guards nicely.

Jealous.

Haha cheers brad yeah they fill the guards well, needs to be slammed to pull them off I reckon though,

Tonight I pulled the steering knuckles out to get the ball joints pressed in tomorrow also degreased in all the wheel arches and under carriage tomorrow ill refit it all up with new wheel bearings and do the tie rod ends aswell, pads and disks can wait till I decide what I'm going to do with them,

Cheers mate, Im loving them ATM will be better I once I get them resprayed again, gave the car a good clean and cut the roof and bonnet and polished it all New Year's Day, it's handy having a buff at home I wouldn't of done it all by hand.

Really need to get stick into swapping the Drive line over but have to get the other Xr stripped out before I pull another one apart in there

Buying a new dslr camera so I can take some better pictures of it my digital one is a bit old

Haha everything has a price Tyronne, put this up for sale if anyone is interested 7k probably abit high for something n/a but with all the new parts and all the good stuff I think it's worth it, I'm not fussed if it doesn't sells its a good car,
I put the xr8 rear skirt with the bigger exhaust hole on this too from that parts xr8 I had, dons a oil & filter change and next weekend I'm ripping the auto out to convert it finally, then ill rebush the front and get a wheel alignment, then the rear,

I found that in the past, people with simmons can often be such fucktards! I sold mine before the ad even went up because i knew what they were worth and didnt subscribe to tempe tyres theory on pricing.

Keep hammering them, if they're pre-Au FR18's they're pretty rare (not that post-AU cant be changed to pre-AU)

Nah au onwards offset, yeah ill keep onto him, on another note I prepped the rebals for primer tonite, then thought it would be a good idea to polish my roof boot and bonnet ran out of light so hope it's ok if not ill do it again tomorrow

Still no reply from him, oh well,.
finished polishing it tonight came up well but I definitely prefer the rebels over the BA GT's
Oh and finally got an exhaust tip put on I'm still not 100% happy with how it is so ill modify it so I'm happy with it
