cheetrs daily - EB GHIA SII, 20z, respray, TE50 tickford mot

[pHaT`eL]

Lights look a bit full on, I had mine like that, so I took every second one out near the top, maybe do that at the bottom and see how it looks?
Dark Argents should look good!

[CHEETR]

yer they stand out a bit hey.. i got another set of lights im tryin different designs on over the next couple days.

dark agents are going on thursday now, cant wait - i havn't seen any e series yet with them in 20z so im not sure how they will look..


but i drive the eb daily now, and keepiing chrome rims clean is pissin me off, they get dirty every 2 days that and i also want to start running the 1/4 in this thing early next year and im not keen on doing that with hub adapters on, so new rims are pre au offset.

i wanted simmons, but nothing good came up till i saw these.

[bng]

new rims go on friday morning.

20inch pre au offset dark agents, and new white walls get done on friday arvo with a green ring as well.

should look good.

Then whats the green ring?? either way, it should look pretty hot

[pHaT`eL]

The only bad thing about big rims is you cant get it low enough. Hence me going for stockers - Lower ride height and cheaper tyres

Might have to fill the 20's with big brakes too

[CHEETR]

ill get it low! i got the ute and the vt slammed.. i dont car if i have to pump out the guards.

by the lokos of it once i fix the camber kit in the front it wont scrub when its low anyway cos ive had all the guards rolled and lipped.

bigger brakes will come after christmas

How so..? 225/30/20's have a smaller rolling diameter then the 235/40/18's I have now .. sure 225's on a 20" rim are gay but its not going to be a big difference in r'd with a 245 tyre, probably just enough to fag with the ball joint . Lots of ppl say that you cant make a car low on 20's... why?

Example...probably a bad one as his front sits a little high but I've worked out 20's will fit on mine how it sits and from side on theres a 5mm visible gap on the front.

[CHEETR]

are those wheels au offset or pre au?

they look sick

[Dumpsta]

Au offset. Speedy Envy Hp's I believe... pretty sweet wheel but a little boring on some angles.

[CHEETR]

id buy a set if they were pre au offset

its double white walls, like whats on the vt..

small green line with a thick white line around it

[EF ECTIV]

Ive got 20s on mine and its low enough.... ultras in the rear....

side on pic here.....

[pHaT`eL]

What I mean by low enough is they dont "look" low, dont ask me why, but thats what people mean.

[CHEETR]

yer i know what your sayin phat el..

i want like 1inch of rim tuckage for it to even be anywhere near low.. once these pre au offset rims are on im gona put the new camber kit it and give it a go and see how low i can get it

[bng]

the white walls with the green sound pretty hot. i didnt understand what you meant before
i wish i had your money to spend on cars, im stuggling to save for a respray, stupid apprentice wage

[CHEETR]

im not really spending mass ammounts on it.

i get alot of stuff cheap now that ive built quite a few cars, ive met alot of contacts along the way.. and also met alot of contacts in teh car industry as im a carsalesman.

not only that i do nearly everything i physically can myself which saves me on labour and leaves more to spend on parts.

trying to not spend heaps on this as it was only supposed to be a daily while i rebuild the vt and ive gone a bit stupid on it

i read somewhere it was like $12g, wouldnt mind having the money to speand it on a car, just gotta tighten the belt and save
does look good though, worth the money

[CHEETR]

yer 12k isnt all that much though imo for what the car has to offer,thats also including the new trim which hasn't been finished or put in yet.. i did pretty well with the intial buy getting something with this motor and body.. ws just a matter of bringing the car back from the dead and fixing everything and making it better, but im very happy with how its panning out

i got alot more in this car than what i would have got in a same year and model calais, and i think im enjoying working on this for something different.. commodores are fairly common and it gets boring after a while.

[bng]

Yea it did look pretty sweet starting off, had a great starting base, and itll look awesome with the interior once its in. what youve done to it is different which is good to read about and see. ever thought of going the same way as effalcon and airbagging this or even the vt?

im still tossing up whether to keep mine, spray it(paint is fucked), drop it and then turbo once im off my greens or go out and buy an xr, eh time will tell

[CHEETR]

airbags are already on the cards for the vt, just a matter of sorting out with my engineer what way is best.. and with that comes money i want to engineer everything at once including the shaved doors ec..

but no i wont be airbagging the eb as its a daily. the whole reason i pulled the vt off the road is because of police, so i pulled it down for a rebuild all the legal way and engineered with 20z,shaved handles and bags.


buy an xr dude, save your cash..

[Bipolar]

Don't think I'm a fan of the taillights, but they're different and stand out. Will be interesting to see what else you're gonna come up with. Bulk effort for a daily but.

What I mean by low enough is they dont "look" low, dont ask me why, but thats what people mean.

IMO it's coz you look for tyre tuckage on small rims, rim tuckage on big ones. Plus you have lack of sidewall flex with a lower profile. I can just get out of my driveway on 18s; on 15s my zorst cops a hiding.

[CHEETR]

order'd ultra's today so ill put them in then see how much they need to be compressed.

also went and bought some AU clear indicators that ill put on thursday.

[jazza312]

pretty sure i parked next to this today in warragul, just down from roylaines... looks pretty good. wat were u doin in warragul?

[SnyperEB]

Im pretty sure he sold it mate. It was on Ebay twice.

[[Sterling]]

and im pretty sure hes banned.

[SnyperEB]

He is banned but it is sld regardless. That car must be shit people seem to get rid of it not long after they buy it. Its been around.

[jazza312]

ahhh righto fair enuff... cant see y he might of been banned tho... some stooge in warragul has it now i guess then...

[Dansedgli]

He was banned because he threatened to bash everyone over and over and over.

[bigdell]

because he is heaps cool.



























no no no hold up i meant gay as a person with 11ty billion doses of aids.

[jazza312]

lol i kno... i have seen some of his threads. he is a weiner, tellin people to come to his work etc etc.

[burnt turtle]

and when confrontation happened, there was nothing. he was his own definition of keyboard warrior

[Commando]

Since he's not on here anymore, I've locked the thread.
