Fiynix st162 1985 Maroon 3rd engine installed

All good man. The funny thing is those rims are 17x7 with 225/45 tyres all round and my black rims are 17x7 with 205/40 tyres on them but the black rims dont look like 17s.
i have found another set of wheels 16x8 +20 front and 16x9 +15 rear. Considering them and stretching tyres but have a bit more working out of everything as i have rolled guards and can take them further out.

 

The offset on those grey rims i think is +38 or +40.
they scrub extremly badly with the sidewall of 45 and for the day i had a 25mm bolt on spacer with a 8 mm slip on just so i could drive the car to work. And they just missed the strut top by about 5mm.
if i run a 40 wall on 17's theres no issues with 205 but unsure on 225 yet lol

racerb i am u sure of the brand of headers but will get some pics of underneath and secondaries for them.

 

Racerb here are a couple of pics before the extractors were installed



Went to take a pic of under car this morning and got side tracked and noticed my car rego is overdue by a week now lol.
so going to pay it tomorrow so i can drive it agai. Legally as i hadnt noticed i drove to work 3 days without rego

 

Well its been a while since i updated.let me see what i can remember i have done.
Was defected earlier this year for too low. The police where very nice and explained everything so was a good experience.
Snapped a wheel stud and has been replaced.


Fixed my leaking powersteerig hose finally and it was a major p.i.a. To remove bit finally done it.


I got bored one monday and installed my st165 front back with original yellow working foggies,


Bought kezzad's coilovers from his celica and have now installed them.
And currently awaiting oilf filter relocation kit and oil cooler.


Hopefully in the next couple of weeks will have the car all plasti dipped in 1 colour so no mismatched panels anymore lol.


Will upload pics once i get onto a laptop as im currently on my phone.


If i think of anything else i have done i shall post it up.

 

Pictures of st165 front bar and newly installed oil cooler and coilovers.
Dont stress about mismatched panels i really dont care at this point but will all be one colour soon.

 

Have also tigtened up coilovers and car now has zero bodyroll.
Reinstalled my 25mm bolt on spacers so the rear wheels stick closer to the guards. Am now saving up for thesame set of wheels for rear of my car but going to get them in a +15 offset so i can eliminate my bolt ons.

next to be installed is the braided cutch line.

 

Cheers mate. Will have to update the pic as this was taken before i installed the 25mm bolt on spacers.
Hoping to buy a new pair with +15 offset for rear so i can get rid of the bolt ons.

 

Cheers steve.
its taking a while to get the car where i want it but any progress is still a step closer.

thats where i always park my car gives my wife more room to park the family car and my mums motorbike in the garage.
i normally fold the passenger mirror in and get anothe couple of mm closer im usually about 1inch away from the wall all the time.

 

Gave the car a wash a couple of weeks ago to begin prepping for a full respray in matte black plastidip.


Have tins ready to go and rob has kindly offered to do it for me heheh

 

Also here is how close i parked my cars last year n our 2 car garage

Theres plenty of room to fit a puchbike inbetween the cars lol.​
