Thanks mate, the bar was originally the same as the chesters car but has had an extra 50mm added to the bottom half to lower it down. as it sits at ride height now its 48mm off the ground

 

Very nice build!

 

nice build mate , strange that you couldn't fit 17x9s in the guards, theres plenty of evos in nz with them , good to see a few nz parts on there :P those racefab intake manis are meant to have upto 25kw gains over the factory ones

 

There is no way a 17x9 will fit under stock guards (without stretched tyres) especially on the back.

The biggest you can fit (again without a stretched tyre) is 7.5" with the right offset (+38- +40ish)


I hope to soon see how well the engine package comes together as we should hit the dyno in the next few weeks hopefully

 

stretched tyres and camber and rolled guards , I was going to do that but I cbf with all the work

 

Stretching the tyres and heaps of camber is a bit of a waste to run wide wheels, why carry the extra weight of a wide wheel when you can't use it.

 

looking good george- you get your invite yet?

 

WOW what a great build thread.

 

accepted and paid mate

 

yeah boi, look forward to seeing you run top ten finish i reckon mate
