If so, VERY nice man! I like them, and I seriously think they will suit the car perfectly.

Its really not that much stretch at all. Im suprised, but the tyres are decent with a nice rim protector which may hide the stretch. Function will be fine because not race car. Cruise to work and the beach is all it does.

 

ADR? Whats that?

 

I look at other adapters and take my ideas from there. I drive my kids to school in this car, so I make sure Im 110% certain on everything.

 

I look at the alloy legs on the calipers that bolt to the hub and then look at my 30 x 16mm steel dogbones with 12mm high tensile bolts and im sure theyre more than adequate for the job.

Engine bay neaten up continues.....

 

All brackets are painted satin black now along with the air diversion plate I made and a battery cover I made yesterday. Now onto the dual catch cans......

 

 

 

[SAV84C]

Clean install as always!

 

U have too much time on ur hands! laser cut?

 

Are you going to make up a box for the catch cans for stealthiness?

[CRUISN]

Spare time inbetween breakdowns at work.

 

Not laster cut, guillotine and a 1mm cut off disc in a grinder. Then folded. Handy to have all those machines at work.

 

Catch cans will be made of s/steel square tube and welded togther to look like one unit. It'll look like a black box anyway.

Farout!
Did you do an drawings of those covers?

[Samwise]

Would you make a batch of battery boxes?

Have you tried making a pod filter / CAI covers?
I reckon that would be mint!

Just a cardboard template of the top. The bracket that it attaches to I made on the fly at work from what I thought would work and it did.

Ahh, no.

 

Yes Ive made a pod cover before.

 

Once the ARC airbox gets here. I'll see what I can make around it to seal it to the inner guard and probably an ABS cover.

So that didnt work to my liking.......

 

Rear rims were hitting the struts with the camber I wanted. I wasnt happy with the fitment/look with them adjusted to sit off the strut.

 

So I will sell the rims and keep the tyres to go on some 17 x 8.5 +44 or thereabouts.

 

You never know if you dont try. What it did make me realise is I want all white wheels in a similar design.

 

[Liberty]

Very nice. And that's exactly right. If you can afford to test things out like you did then why the hell not?

 

Keen to see what you will get next. I assume they're gonna be of a similar rim design?

[Barbbachello]

Defs agree the white spokey wheels looks amazing

Ive already found what I intend to replace these with.........

[Liberty]

LMAO!

 

What can I say...?

[RX25SE]

Stretched tyre/wheels didn't fit??

 

Now there's a shame.  

 

 

 

Can't wait to see what you end up with next Mark.

I knew you'd be happy Jase.

 

Once I get an idea in my head, I have to try it though.

[Barbbachello]

I reckon the small amount of stretch looked good.Any more would have been bad though.

[Mosti]

You should put all white Work Kiwamis on it. Pitty the XD9's didn't work, the upside they'll be incredibly easy to sell

[CRUISN]

I hope the sell easily and pretty quickly. 

 

Sort of an expensive trial. LOL.
