big call going from a mk3 vr to a bomb mk1 have you lost your mind??? unless this is a side project ? and still keep the vr.?

[dom123]

yeah! dom, buy whiteVR6s vr6 seats, and put your monzas in this!!

haha nah i wanna keep this baby original might retrim them sometime but atm she's sweet.

unfortunately like i said i wont be able to put much time and effort into her until the vr is gone but i will be fixing all the small stuff in the mean time and probably start stocking a few parts. But definately watch this space will keep regular pics and updates for sure. thanks for all the kind words and support keep em coming ill need em.

and just to give an idea of where im headed what do people think of these?



I wanna get those or some sort of 2 piece wheel with white centres like bbs rs but then again who doesnt have em lol. time will tell.

hey mate each to their own is the way i see it im passing up the vr for something less practical and a lot cheaper, but i love the mk1s and i cant wait to be driving her, speed doesnt phase me ive got 2 points. Im young enthusiastic and not to tell you my life story or nothing but money from the vr will actually not be put into this rather put aside to save for a deposit etc...

fair call sounds good for what you have planned for it.

Those wheels look pretty good. I think they're sportmaxx's? Check US ebay for Sportmaxx or XXR wheels. plenty of good fitments & a heap of sizes. they're all old school jap wheel knock offs too. Landed for about 1 G.

infinite motorsports in oz stock em, but would 15x8 et0 fit with rolled lips and coils?

I'd go for a et15, if they had em. ET 15 will poke from the front by about 20 odd mm. et0 is very agressive and will poke by about 35mm. (too much)

You'll need rolled arches for sure. tyre choice would dictate how low you can do.

[dom123]

will et15 poke at the back?

[Jarred]

will et15 poke at the back?

the rear track on a mk 1 is about 5 or 6mm skinnier, the the front track - per side.

So if the front is poking 20mm, the back would only poke about 15mm. Exact measurements vary from car to car, and even arch to arch!

If you can get a 15x7 for the front and 15x8 for the back, i reckon that would be a good set up. (but I enjoyed staggered fitments! )

You'll see a few cars everynow and then (or vortex and stuff) with the same spec wheels all round, and they'll have spacers on the back, to even up the poke, or even increase the rear end poke.

hope this helps.

[dom123]

yeah for sure im thinking either stagger it or like u said et15 all round n spacers
thanks for the help jarred!

[Jarred]

yea. Remember though. If you are going to get 8's. it will poke. no if's or but's about it. Having said that. It can work!

[dom123]

i like poke

[GoLfMan]

congrats dude, looks tops!!! Great starter project

really looking forward to the build!

welcome to the obsession that is the mk1

ET15 on a 8 with a 165/50 tyre will be fine on the back once the lips are rolled, you can also slam the crap out of it too with minimal/no rubbing issues

i had ET07 with 165/50's and i could only fit 1 extra person in the car with me
