havent updated this in a while, was having some cooling issues due to a dodgy thematic fan which turned out to be a cheap no-name fan that porbably didn't pull enough air and was actually arcing out and shutting off when temps rose! have replaced it with twin 12inch Davies Craig fans. These...

I disagree. SOME new cars have terrible interiors, but not all. My statement was a generalisation, ill admit to that. Newer doesnt always mean better, you're right there. But, the MK4 interior (IMO opinion, and having owned both models) is far nicer than the MK3 interior. Dont get me wrong, I...

^^^ was your post directed at me poodles? while we're talking about seats, the USDM MK4 seats are terrible yes, ive onwed a few MK3s and one JDM MK4 which was an RZ and has Recaro SR3s from the factory, I loved them so much that I tracked down a pair and fitted them to my current MK3 :D...

what about swapping the carpet over? probably doesnt work but would be good to know if anyone out there has tried it.

yeah i know what you're saying. i wanted to run a 265 on the rear but they dont have that size available in the tyres im after :(

well mine is finally all back together and was worthy of some clear pics (although i've got no photog. skills so please spare me).

here's the final verdict on my set up now that the fenders have been rolled, ride heights are correct and the wheel alignment has been done... F: 18x9 +15 (245/40) R: 18x10 +22 (275/35) verdict is (IMO anyway) that it looks aggressive, however the rear needs to be lifted a few mm to stop...

been a while since i've updated but this thing is all back together now after this weekend's efforts. only managed to get 1/3 of the way through my wilwood "bedding in" procedure due to a thermo fan that shuts off when the temps get hot (stupid i know). Quite annoying because I can't drive the...

haha! i posted that a long while ago but funny comments

stock JZA70 is 6inch +44 so 8 +45 will definately be pushing it.

quick phone snap of mine. its almost back together...

how difficult is it to install this gear? I've recently replaced my speedo cable and the speedo still does not give a reading. i'm convinced its the gear, it cant be anything else. on the side of the tranny the cable screws into a "neck" that goes onto the side of the tranny. my "neck" can be...

Fair bit of work to make those fit. Interested to see how they go!

^^ no, instead you'll have a 4x4 because the wheels will hang out even more due to a lack of camber.

if you run a 9+ 15 up front you absolutely will have to roll the fenders and run camber. im running those very same specs with a 245/40 (in 18s which is irrelevant) and its barely do-able...take a peek you'll have no chance with a 255. a 10+25 on the rear will need a roll with a 275/35 also...

I agree with the above post. you're going to want as much tyre as possible for grip reasons and to fill those guards because the widths and offsets alone wont do the trick. in any case you wont have to worry about fender mods

also interested to know this as I am planning on doing the same thing. Would be good to know all prep and paint products, looks great!

old man who can panel beat is handy indeed! yeah inner clearance certainly seems to be the potential issue, cant just roll the strut out the way if it fouls haha. i guess you're gonna be hard pressed to find someone who has run those widths up front so trial and error may be the only way around...

its important to remember that neither of these ECUs compare to standalone engine management. As above, unless you scored one with a front cut or something, I wouldnt waste the extra dollars compared to a factory ECU. Either go full standalone or if you'r stock ECU crapped out, replace it with...

MK3 soup, kumho actually do the Ku36 nwider in 17s (315) than they do in 18s (275) - at least as far as australian availability goes. I guess its not really an R compound though. Plenty of peopole have run 9.5 up front on A70s without inner clearance issues, the 10 may be pushing it. i'd like to...
