would prob look very nice...

its a touch and go with jap wheels in our stud pattern, we just lucky the japs like BMW and make wheels to suit them cars...

here is the final product...
I had to raise the front slightly.... the rear will stay at this height so it is functional and I can tow or carry stuff without having to pre plan and raise the rear every time...
and off for a wheel alignment tomorrow morning, then some guard massaging...

its been a while since I updated...

nothing major...

I did a major 120km service, including plugs, leads, fuel filter, air filter oil and oil filter...

3weeks later I go and see my good mate steve at msc for a power run to compare my stock power run to the mods iv done...
pacemaker 4-1 extractors (big primaries) and 3inch outlet, high flow cats, twin 2.5inch x-force cat back...
ss induction hard pipe with Monaro air box mod (twin entry)
car was lean as and knocking at 3000rpm

I bought a new fuel pump and changed air flow meter...

update to come on Friday...

my question is...
do I leave the maf in as it is and get it tuned, or pull it out and go mafless but still thru the airbox...

OTR is NOT a option for me

 

[ievaq8]

no1 commented, but dont matter

I had my ute tuned at msc performance in Reservoir...
I can only praise steve on his magic...

I wasn't chasing numbers as its my daily and I need it to also tow my civic...
so he didn't go too aggressive on timing on full load due to towing and he said was being gentle in the load areas I needed...

the car made 247kw at wheels

drives amazing and im very very happy

dyno sheet to come

Did you end up going mafless or keeping it in place nice figure and loving the wheels by the way.

 

[ievaq8]

^^ended up keeping the MAF

I get heaps of positive comments on the wheels...
thanx

Just curious what was your reason for not going an OTR? Another fan of the wheels here too

thanx mate...

I wasn't chasing power and most performance, just wanted for it to drive nice, and mostly tow betta than stock...

although OTR has been proven time and time again, I dnt like the idea of the heatsoak it would get from the radiator, and also like the OEM engine bay look...
