[Lorenz]

Thanks heaps guys, I'm not going to have much money left soon and I can't wait for the next euro cruise to come round, ill definetly tag along im on the hunt for some wheels now.. scouring ebay and whatnot, but is there a place on the Gold Coast/Brisbane where there's some nice old school style wheels? (postage is a bitch) im after 16's preferably.. Thanks again guys for all the help

Your going to be hard pushed finding a heap of suitable old school wheels that are going to fit all in one place, unless you live in the US or UK!
It takes time and plenty of searching and swearing to find the right wheels, unless you either have pots of money and can afford anything you want, or you go buy some killa kromies from Bob Jane (note, please do not do this)

Oh and dont be afraid of getting wheels posted, I do it all the time and its always under $100

Yeah i refuse to go near cromies haha hence my problem finding wheels i think ill end up getting wheels off ebay for sure from the US or UK, theres a few ive got my eyes on though so fingers crossed

Hey guys, been a while so here's an update!









So new wheels, new tailights and checkered mirrors! Next is to definitely lower it and eventually put some spacers on the back wheels, but lowering is a must. But it's going to be a while until anything like that happens, rego and insurance was due last month so bye bye a cool $800ish and now I'm a uni student so bring on more and more expenses! Growing up sucks haha Hope you guys like it!

Welcome mate, sorry it's a bit late though. I spotted you a while back at Oxenford, car looked great then and it looks even better now. If you're going to come up to the meet this Friday then it'd be great if you come along to the GC pre-meet at Ironman mentioned above.

definately needs to be low now haha, then you'll have a very nice little combination going on

you can get a set of coilovers from overseas off ebay for like ~$400 including shipping and as much as I'd love to support the locals, when moneys tight saving a few hundred doesnt hurt pm me if you want links and stuff.

[JacobMK3]

Thanks guys, I'll be on the hunt for springs or coilovers soon and there will be plenty of questions and PM's I'm sure. Was so keen to go to the meet last night but had work til 8.30 how was it? im seeing it as just another step closer to lowering it i guess, fingers crossed for the next one!

[Water Boy]

PM Lorenz for a good coilover deal local!

[Jarred]

get onto some coilovers ASAP!

apart from that looking good. clean base car!
