  1. Native people you mean? f*ckin corobories outside my work all the time (cause yellow cat bus stop lol)
  2. How come mines a ghey white and orange combo? Lol
  3. Yeh drift guys talk about how good they smoke up lol Good to know they were ok....I paid $160 each...would have been a little cheaper at $135...but apparently 'politics' were in play from goodride reps lol
  4. Link no workey on tapaf*ck
  5. I'd like to know wtf happened to OP's car and the outcome lol
  6. Yeh man....the ones I have are "Westlake" apparently over east is "Goodride". Same/same apparently Supposed to be semi slick....but medium compound cause 240 treadwear. Been slack today, so might chuck the new rims on 2moro if im bored. Hot weather lately should mean grip. Only thing is the largest size atm is 265/35/18....apparently more size next year
  7. Possibly? Its a good thought actually lol Cutting means f*ck all to me [emoji14] but its worth a shot....if you can find one being wrecked hahaha
  8. Supposed to say Clarkson lol Dirty sixty thirty 4 lyf
  9. There is a backing plate behind the rotor....there is a cut out where the caliper pokes through it. This needs to be widened.... I didnt do it myself cause im sh*t...I assume the brake place used a grinder and chopped 15mm or so on each end; so that the larger caliper clears. And yeh that's the seller....good to see black is now available lol mine were like $75 for 2nd hand calipers then $130 or something for rebuild....but that above would be better; cause new And cant help with space saver question....cause dont have one [emoji14]
  10. also need to trim backing plate to suit larger caliper. think I saw red ones on ebay a while back that end up being cheaper route I.e. I bought 2nd hand terrys then got them rebuilt and was only like $30 cheaper than going brand new. But at least mine are black instead of red lol also prepared for expensive rotors...rears end up being more expensive than fronts....oh and adds a little more weight too. If I had my time again, I'd probs only do it if going brembos up front eventually...can't say I've noticed a massive difference on my car from caliper swap only. I mainly did it for looks
  11. I test fitted some "drag" rims on the front when I took the above pic. Its 18x9 +35 with a 265/35/18. Tyres f*cked and a little flat (and sidewall was a little buldgy)...but it JUST hit the control arm as I spun it. So my guess is your fronts will be very close...like 5mm or less from rim touching....but cause 255 you might get lucky. Still think it may hit going over big bumps and stuff.... Guess you'll let us know when it happens
  12. You rekon? I was hoping it would provide more turn in grip.... Wasn't 100% whether it would help understeer or make it worse
  13. Lol....old tv....was too small for bedroom [emoji14]
  14. Picked up a pair of these bad boys.... gunna be the next nitto invos for sure
  15. Fronts with 265s lol she'll be right bro [emoji14] Once I lower might tuck a little bit Rears should be a tiny bit less agressive, see what happens.... Who did you use to pump? I've been told by a nerd on here that Des @ Auto FX is the rolling king.
  16. ^^^ should have bought mine when you had the chance [emoji14]
  17. stop rubbing in how sh*t I am
  18. Nah its got the used SSL springs on the front shock, but I want to use the new SSL/SSSL combo I have and sell the used springs later. I thought all you had to do was use those spring clamps, compress them low enough, undo a bolt up top, shimey it nicely and put back together I.e. 5 min job each side. Well at least that how it went on the last car they did it to (SSS Pulsar lol) And yeh....difference is when I f*ck something up...I just cry, get frustrated and give up and call the expert. Then I would have wasted time, effort and end up being in a worse position I.e. can't drive it to the mechanic cause I've buggered it up. Plus where I live sucks balls for working on car (single driveway/garage, angled driveway, just a bad time all round really LOL)
  19. ^^^ LOL.... Nothing hard....just install kings springs + bilstein shocks. I'm just retarded at most mechanical things and will probably screw something up if I did it myself always then to break bolts, screws, clips, etc
  20. Gave them a call....got all excited when he said "yeh should be able to do that for 1 hr each side @ $90 per hr". Rang back to make the booking and he said "oh you have aftermarket stuff, that's a little more difficult, cause often shocks can be shorter, blah blah blah". Told him I thought it will be pretty much same process as doing OEM suspension, but still said, nah probably need it for at least 3 hrs....by the end he still didn't feel confident and said maybe try a specialist like WA suspension lol @$270....I'd rather pay the family mechanic $300 and get it done on the weekend (instead of making up hours for being late into work that day - cause taxi workshop is only open during the week). Thanks for the tip anyways Phil!
  21. Can you stretch on budget? Saw this on Facesux....might be a good one? You'll have to remove some of the rear badges though lol
  22. Has MT always had a hub dyno? Also is this a weekender, daily or do you do FIFO and drive it most of the time when you're back in Perth? Ridiculous power as per usual....awesome stuff!!
  23. Nah I didn't check about injectors....basically when Rob said they charge $200 to install injectors....I figured I would pay the extra $100 odd to get new ones from MT (cheapest ive seen 1000cc is around $400....and think new ends up being $750 fitted) And I sold my surge a few weeks back... $500 So paid $60 for the Keep Paying Money base kit lol (brand new off fagbook person)....which should be more than enough for low to mid 300s
  24. Whats the other saying.....you snooze you lose lol I just found the old msgs to that bloke...seems I txted him the night before and at first he was firm at $450...and when I said I only had $400...he eventually said "pick it up in the morning". I'm actually super lucky you didnt snap it up....cause I woke up late that day and only got to his at 1pm. And I'm sure you'll get one eventually....you gunna get MT to retune the car later? Also yeh cheers for the tip....ill give them a call 2moro or something
  25. Lol....you're really spewing about me beating you to that deal aren't yah [emoji14] Think I saw one on fagbook the other day....but over east and wants $600. Pretty sure the dummy said "used once but still has 5 lives left"...so not very reassuring that its been flashed back to stock. And all good bout the suspension....I'll just front up the cash to family mechanic (and do a couple other random stuff at the same time).
