tyres

running 245/30r20 streched on the rear. atm. there is very minimal scrub. only when going up driveways etc at full compression. i havent got my rear guards rolled though. that is getting done this week. i am also putting some new tyres on the front. has 225/30r20 atm and its just to small. they are brand new tyres. if anyone wants to buy them. i am going to run 225/35 or 245/30. not to sure yet.

 

[GEN3RATD]

245/30 are good

 

[17TUX]

yeah. thats what i think i will end up running on the front. can get them for 150 a tyres so pretty cheap. goes into aussie diffs tomorrow to get 3.45 diff gears and shimmed up nice n tight.m cant wait.

hey guys. so have yesturday i discovered my fuel pump had stopped working. Bought a new pump and sender unit as replaced it during the morning. Also thought that whilst i was at it i should do a major service and some brakes. so i changed all my plugs, filters (apart from air as going otr) and new brake pads all round and machined my front rotors (rear didnt need machining). Also painted my calipers and rotors at the same time to look a bit cleaner. I picked the car up on friday lunch time from aussie diffs as i just had a new LSD with 3.45 diff gears installed. Much better response. Really livens up the auto.

love it man, looking really good but i rekon chrome your grill and it will look awsome
nice car none the less

i have been looking into chroming the grill. i have read on one thread to use paint stripper but i was a bit hesitant on this as i thought it might eat the chrome. any ideas for chroming people????

 

[GEN3RATD]

nah you use paint stripper, spray it on, leave it for a bit then spray it with a hose and agitate it.

 

[17TUX]

what u mean agitate it??
