Yeah, decided to sell them as the tread was getting low and couldn't be bothered getting new tires as I wanna get something bigger. Saving up to get some 19" SS-V rims now... :spot on:

Haha, I reckon you should put a lift kit on it ;)

i'll put a holden v8 in it. i have a bottom end sitting around that could go in there, just need heads, manifold and computer ****. but its an aussie bolt pattern not turbo pattern like the 304s.

its actually a hq block.

anyway, fitted a mini spool today. we'll see how long i can put up with it but it seems ok.

spool is alright, makes the steering wheel harder to turn which is good coz it was pretty flighty in the steering before this. its like running a steering dampner.

still a little annoying in carparks, but just shuffles a little bit, no tyre noise.
