No no im not. I have 2 different meanings floating in my head.

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » September 23rd, 2008, 3:24 pm

cheers guys

nah Steady, im going through TECH9TYRES in Perth... they deal with Simmons a lot, so they can get a better deal than i can

$3600 for rims to get to Perth - Simmons direct
$3400 for rims/fitting tyres/balancing/rolling guards/wheel alignment - Tech9
(but of course, in both cases, id still need tyres)

nommic, it dropped about 1.5/2 inches..
supposedly you cant lower FGs too much otherwise the tailshaft binds up or something bad

wicksy, thats sweet. but im not touching the car mechanically... you see, if i did an exhaust, the next thing would be a Kenne Bell.
i dont want to put a KB on it... but modding is something i cant help... its a disease lol

Frost, it means "are you 16?", btw do you have a sister?

Steady · Post by **Steady** » September 23rd, 2008, 3:48 pm

Yeah sweet, I'll probably end up doing the same thing with a joint in Vic, Simmons didn't want a bar of me when I was trying to figure out how wide I could go on the rear of the ED.
Looks tops though man, make sure you whack some pics up as soon as you get the FRs on!
Should look tough as guts with the dark centre and redwalls.

Iv seen some bad reviews of Tech9 and good reviews on Tech9. Something about making sure they do the job right.

I have a brother around that age in Perth

And I thought as much but I wasnt too sure.

Plans are for Kenne Bell supercharger.

EF ECTIV · Post by **EF ECTIV** » September 23rd, 2008, 10:41 pm

I dont know why you try to fight it matty... You had plans for a KB even before you took delivery

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » September 25th, 2008, 4:51 pm

LOL **** ITS STARTED!!!! .... ive got on hold, a front brake package upgrade. 4 pot Brembo kit (rotors, lines, calipers, etc) from a FG FPV.

oh well, i always was demanding Ford let me option Brembos, but they didnt let me... so ill let this mod slide !

and ive ordered my Simmons FR19 today

19x8.5 front, 19x9.5" rear
metallic black centre

Steady · Post by **Steady** » September 25th, 2008, 5:22 pm

haha, funny story which i can see playing out here.
I bought some Mal Wood tramp rods off a bloke who used to have a 350rwkw F6 Tornado.
Crashed it, put an FG Super Pursuit on order.
When I spoke to him, he said the reason he was getting the 8 was so he wasn't so tempted to get more power out of it, and that he would keep it a stock work car....

There it is now

For those who can't see it, first Harrop blower onto an FG.
Quick vid on page 2 of that thread, just giving it a rev cause it hasn't been on the dyno yet.

That probably won't happen to you but tocchi, I'm sure you can resist the temptation to do something similar

XRated · Post by **XRated** » September 25th, 2008, 9:18 pm

Haha that's awesome Tocchi!! It's good to see some old school wheels like the FRs going on newer models. Timeless wheel, they will look tight on the FG!

Awesome thread, Steady

Those Boss' should've been blown from factory; ~350rwkws with no other mods is nuts.

EF ECTIV · Post by **EF ECTIV** » September 25th, 2008, 10:24 pm

there is nothing that the FRs dont look good on.... the black centres are gonna look killer matty

DaNeOs · Post by **DaNeOs** » November 3rd, 2008, 3:25 pm

How did this end up looking with the FR's?

EF ECTIV · Post by **EF ECTIV** » November 3rd, 2008, 3:51 pm

tocchi's simmons havent arrived yet, he had some others 20s on for the all ford day last weekend but
he's since sold them too

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » November 30th, 2008, 3:57 pm

ok picked this up the other day, its a GTE bootlid spoiler, just need to get a spoilerless bootlid to put it on

fitted the Brembos yesterday morning, only to find my option 19s dont clear the calipers

so i had to fit the stock ones back on and wait until the Simmons arrive (friday

) to fit the brembos again

EF ECTIV · Post by **EF ECTIV** » November 30th, 2008, 5:33 pm

bentls · Post by **bentls** » December 4th, 2008, 2:19 pm

its thursday silver.

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » December 4th, 2008, 4:41 pm

gotta love the glass bbq. haha jks

yeh its Friday supposedly... doesnt make a difference to me, im flying out for work (offshore) tomorrow morning at 7.15am.
so i wont see these rims for a week or so anyway

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » December 5th, 2008, 2:18 am

good news. ive scored some Brembo compatible rims

actually 8 of them

18" BA GTP rims

wicksy · Post by **wicksy** » December 5th, 2008, 3:18 am

lol wholly crap, lots of spare burnout rims haha

Tocchi · Post by **Tocchi** » December 10th, 2008, 7:37 pm

ok bulk delays
- Simmons delayed further

- front swaybar still delayed

- BA GTP rims still delayed

and im selling the Brembo 4pot calipers (no rotors) for $1500 ono

they are 20km old... thats all!

bought some Brembo 6 pot (fronts) and 4 pot (rears) today

Boogar · Post by **Boogar** » December 12th, 2008, 8:35 pm

oh dang. I thought you were including rotors. In that case, ignore my offer on PES.

GTE spoiler will look good! I'm still unsure of the front/rear ends on these though... or the rear 1/4 windows. They look kinda strange still. Better than VE, but not by that much. If Ford don't do something soon to make me cum in my pants again then I'll be forced to buy European! haha.

I'm glad your rims got delayed too. I'm stuck out hanging around Varanus Is waiting for it to explode again and char grill us all. That means you're not allowed to have fun either!!!

(btw - bonuses for all these people onboard and having to share cabins = $86.90/day)
