Are you on rear m3 offsets drjekl? Also how many degrees are you running on the rears?

I have M3 comp pack rims, so to answer your question yes

I only really drive the car on weekends, so actual wear isn't entirely important, I'm happy to change them yearly if required.

In terms of wet weather conditions, I just don't want to be aquaplaning across a road, lol.

AUSf22 , Vince, since you've seen and know my setup intimately, do you think these AD08R's will fit?

Hmm they will fit.. just get the tyre fitters to carefully stretch it onto your rim as the semi slick sidewalls are a lot stiffer than your current Pirelli's

As long as you don't hoon like a madman in the rain it should be ok

A lot of EVOs and WRXs run stretched semi slicks without problems

Thanks Vince!

Any recommendations on shops that know how to look after your rims when they are putting the tyre on?

Really loving this car, the attention to detail and sheer list of things touched/replaced is incredible. With cars of this caliber it's likely I'll never make a build thread! Which is a good thing! Amazing work mate.

I'd like to hear it too. That said I've always struggled to get exhaust from outside the car videos. I can't ask my wife to do it, dump her on the side of the road with a camera and floor it past her, and likewise just can't seem to ask a mate to do it either!

Yup I agree, lots of attention to detail with a lot of thought put into everything that's been executed with only top shelf parts used

Use a tripod perhaps? I have a tripod and have thought I should do some sound video's might use a cheapish old digital cam in case some farker nicks it

Yeah I've only got my nice DSLR which I could mount to my tripod but I'd have to drive out in the middle of nowhere to do it in case someone tried to make off with it.

Ok, will have to try organise something then!

I have always wanted to put a short film together, like ascending Donna buang, filmed from various spots to put the whole run together. Some in car footage and external angles. Could be pretty fun, just need a few DSLR's or Go-Pros and willing participants

Cheers mate! Appreciate your kind words.

It really is an addictive problem, i need counselling.

Thanks Doc! I'm still chasing some tyres, but really nervous about fitment.

[JB4-335]

I need to go for a ride in this thing. Haven't seen it in the flesh for so long.

Looking as good as always Ian.

Pic after 800km's with my radium engineering dual catch can setup!

Pic is of the OCC on the PCV side, definitely stopping lots of oil and gunk clogging up my intake valves!

[titium]

With this setup you bypass the stock cyclonic separator? I assume so if your bypassing the Valve cover part of the pcv.

If that's the case then a fair amount of this oil in the oil catch can would be caught by the stock system.

I would think/hope the occ would be better then the stock cyclonic separator but at the same time far less then that amount of oil would actually be making its way to the valves.

That's my understanding of the way the external pcv works. happy to be proven wrong though.

You're exactly 100% right tits! <--haha, i like that name!

Bypassing, yes, but more accurately - completely externalising the PCV system. For stock turbos, on more or less stock boost, the internal cyclonic separator will be sufficient. Once you've upgraded your snails though, this obviously changes many things.

The stock PCV system is plastic (as most know, i have a #waronplastic), has been known to fail, and has also been a primary factor to 'smoking turbos' in many cases.

Some exterior shots!

[NeT335]

That looks soo nice

I'm trying to find forgestar f14 wheels but don't know where to get them from. Where did you get yours and how much were they?

Thanks mate.

From the US, Vivid Racing or any of the US distributors.. They weren't cheap, but not that expensive either.. Think i got them here for under $5k?

[/335]

looks unreal mate

love these cars in white!

[tawfeeqh]

That is one tough looking car mate. Love the 1M front bar, the forgestar f14s, the bonnet, the m3 mirrors, the stance, hellll everything about it

Great job on the exterior mods

Is that a rear window spoiler I see as well? (or whatever its called?) Have been thinking about getting them

[Trev88]

Wow your car looks soooo sooo sooo good. I need to earn more for more mods haha >.<
