You also need to give the paint time to gas out (cure) before applying a coating!

Assume a week is long enough for a cure??

I see.
I think it's better to install all body kits at a time and to do everything together rather than installing one by one then.
Should be cheaper in one go.

M3 front, rear, side, bonnet, paint & detailing....that's lot of money in one go...

Just think Socks your car looked the same as mine 18mths ago and since then, you have transformed it into a gem while mine still looks the same. It is a credit to you for the unique design. All I am waiting for now is for you to get it out on the strip to see how it goes. I see you don't have a Nizpro transmission on your list. I thought for sure that would be your next mod before PI.

Geez Coupes my car is nothing on yours mate. Would love to have a car that performs like the Coupes Mobile

Mods have really transformed the car for the better socks, it's looking fantastic. How are you finding the LSD? How locky is it? Do you feel the inside wheel stuttering while turning out of streets etc? Does it squirm more under power?

Thanks Tim. LSD is super smooth, no locking, stuttering or clunking, even at low speed or turning. Not like the clutch LSD. Very happy with it. Getting the power down without wheel spin is still a problem even with the LSD, kind of have to ease the throttle to avoid breaking grip. Give it too much and you can feel the back end slide out sideways!!! Especially scary when this happens in 3rd at +100 kph

$1127 for a set of 4 in 18", will be a little more for 19". Got them from Traction Tyres in Rowville cos its 5 minutes from my work. But any place that stocks Yokohamas will have this promotion on, might be able to get a better price elsewhere.

Awesome thanks mate I'll give them a call

DR-JEKL · 07-06-2016, 06:33 PM

Yeah you'll need something like the AD08R's socks with your sorta power (you should be 380-400kw ish when the tune is sorted!)

I've found at just under 320 rwkw in my MT, the nitto NT05's hold the power really well and even WOT in 1st gear

Socket · 07-06-2016, 07:06 PM

Sorted going with AD08Rs 105s in 235 front and 265 rears. Will be fitted Tue
