My Vento thread.

[shooitt]

I have raised the rear some more, the front doesn't scrub much at all cos of the camber bolts which I hate using. I like the profile of the tyre but i want it to tuck under the guards, it's hard with 15x8's with only 15 offset lol. So the plan is to wait 2 weeks and get some Nankang as-1 175/55's which would give me the same overall diameter but lots more stretch, delete front camber and tuck some tread .

I've been watching a set of 16x7 OZ Racing gravel wheels on ebay, they didn't sell so I'm hoping they re-list them for less $$

Scrubbing and sick of it I sold my Falkens and bought some Kumho Ecsta 175/55's ....probably the best tyre size for my wheels! I Love them!!!

Here's some shots of the Kumho's:


After stretching them the profile was the same as the Falken 195/50's so I was able to drop the rear quite a bit. Tucks beautifully and doesn't scrub!









Finally sitting pretty and functional.

Yellow! Metalcast Dupli-colour paint?

Wonder how long these tyres will last..

[shooitt]

I like the yellow ...I mean yolo! haha
$2 yellow tint from ebay

The tyres won't last long with my front camber lol...

[anthony--t]

Nice! I used the same on my fogs and then some black for the indicators. Looks good with the yellow plates.

[shooitt]

Knowing me I'll get sick of it tomorrow hahaha

Mines come on and off a few times, luckily I bought a fairly big sheet. Think it'll stay for a while now though.

Love the yellow!

tyres should last plenty long, providing your tracking is straight and swap them tyres side to side at some stage.

(and dont drive like a hooligan )

Love the yellow!

I really want a set of Hella blue ones.... Saw some a while ago on ebay before I knew i wanted them lol.

My car's an auto, it's almost impossible to drive it like a hooligan lol
I'm gonna experiment with the front camber, maybe decrease it a bit to the point where the tyres barely scrub or only scrub a bit at full lock...

Looking scmick !

Coming to GAD ?

[shooitt]

Nah I won't be coming, I work weekends. Anyway the Vento doesn't look as perfect as she did at Nat's earlier this year, the other week I got nudged by a B-double truck. The rear bumper's all scuffed up and the back right door is dented and scratched, could've been a lot worse but the driver realised he hit me. The annoying part is he just kept driving when I pulled over, then I lost him. The damage isn't bad enough to get the cops involved or even for insurance... S**t happens.

Here's where we're at now:






Yep, stock as stock could be. I'm ready to sell her on to someone who needs a nice daily driver.

Cleaned up the Borbets.


And put them to bed.


As we shall remember her in her last moments of glory.


EBAY HERE WE COME!

[shooitt]

Yoooo! $3500 or best offer!
...can you sense my desperation? haha

(might I remind you Borbet wheels and coilovers aren't included but original mudflaps are!!!)
