So it has been a few years but I've just driven from Darwin to Perth via Brisbane, very long drive. Nothing much to update, finally got the rims powdercoated black. Looking to get a retune done and finally get the last few things done to it.

Let me know when you wanna do it, I've got the weekend off so will be keen for something

I'll take some and upload them when I'm back in Darwin. Driving back up there at the moment

So a bit of an update from nearly a year ago. I've been away for most of the year so it's barely been driven. Got the coilovers and swaybars done by Pedders and replaced most of the bushes. Had the 8pot front 4pot rear 356mm rotors put on as well. Definitely time to change the color of the rims though, thinking black will look best Still needs a surge tank, rocker cover and a retune, Cheers, Pissant

Hey Wright'y, have been away for the last few months but should be back in Darwin in a week or so. I got most of my work done by Elite Automotive in Qld before I drove it up. The car hasn't been out much, probly a few hundred kms this year. Have to organise something for all the guys on here sometime Cheers, Pissant

I was hoping someone would eventually post on here. If only I had read this a week ago could have caught up as I've had my t up here for a year but haven't seen many others around.

Just thought I would see what everyone thinks of the blue.......

Haha cheers for the comments, definitely turns a lot of heads up here. Yes it will have 8 pots on the front....

Just thought I would add a bit of an update of where things are at. Got some new 18s and got rid of my 20s. Pedders coilovers with whiteline swaybars front and rear. Had all the bushes replaces with polyurethane ones. Getting the brakes done this coming week, K sport 8 pot fronts and 4 pot rears with 356mm rotors all round. Here are some pics of how it is today and I'll ad new ones of the brakes after they are done. Thanks to Tocchi for the wheels.

haha yeah the picture didnt want to work. should work now,

Finally got around to getting some pics of the wheels.

Tocchi is right, fitted them on thursday. I'll take some pics and post them up shortly.

Hey guys, I am looking at ordering some Rota Torque wheels for my xr6t http://www.option1garage.com.au/NewWheels.htm 18x8.5 +20 with 225/40/18 fronts 18x9.5 +25 with 245/40/18 rears With Federal 595 evo rubber all round for about 2 grand. I will be upgrading the brakes to 4pot 355 fronts and pbr single rear at the same time and I have used the wheel/tyre comparer and they should fit over the brakes and nicely in the guards. I already have my rear guards rolled. I just wanted to make sure I got my calculations right and the wheels will fit. Cheers, Pissant

What sort of offset would you need with 17" te37s? cheers, Pissant

Hey guys, I currently have a blue bf mkii sedan with 20x8.5 + 35 front and 20x10 + 38 on the rear. I have had to get the rear guards rolled but they still scrub out when I have people in the back and hit a large dip. The car is still at stock height. I want to get some lightweight 18s instead, as the rubber will be cheaper and try to add to whole the sleeper look. I have a contact in japan who can track down some wheels for me I just need to know what I want to get.... Work have some good looking 18s that are available in lots of different offsets. Here are a few links to some of the wheels I am looking at; http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/index.php?option=com_jdm&p=detail&cid=34 http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/index.php?option=com_jdm&p=detail&cid=591 http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/index.php?option=com_jdm&p=detail&cid=21 http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/index.php?option=com_jdm&p=detail&cid=48 http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/index.php?option=com_jdm&p=detail&cid=213 I am looking to upgrade the brakes to JBT 6 piston front with either 355 or 380mm front rotors and doing 4 piston 355mm rotors at the rear. Will 18s clear these? I will be changing the suspension to tein coilovers with edfc, swaybars and new bushes at the same time. My question is; If I went for a staggered set up with 18x8.5 fronts and 18x9.5 rears, what is the best offset for this type of setup or what staggered setup would you recommend? or has anyone got any experience with work wheels or this sort of set up? I hope I haven't asked to many questions. Cheers, Pissant
