Unless he genuinely left for the sole reason he didn't like the rules, then it is you having the laugh.

Not that ANY of this side track has anything to do with the thread..... but go on, enlighten us with what we clearly don't know.


Will get the full story and let you know. From my understanding he left out of sheer frustration with LVV

Nah I don't need to know, that's his business :)

Someone was just getting a little upset so I "assumed" they knew more than the rest of us. Turns out they didn't, so all good.

Back to the topic at hand :P

Is a test rim still needed? If so, i'm heading out west on sunday so could bring some wheels out, i've got 15x8 and 15x9 both with zero offset if you need to try them on your car? Flick me a txt on 0211032291 if you wanna sort something.

I suspect you will be able to sell a fair few of those, especially once this filters down to WoF requirements (well it already is there, just not enforced).

^ They skid up all good - I assume that's what someone putting a 195 tyre on an 8" rim wants to do? Seems to be a bit less tyre than the 235's on the Evo's 8" rims :lol:

Main reason for the smaller tyre is guard clearance. Myself and one of tsoobs customers are going for the "flush" look that seems to be the latest craze at the moment.

:lol: Yeah its still at 4wd height in that pic, will hopefully be getting some coilovers in the weekend to fix it.
Or may just have to chuck some bags of cement in the car before taking pics :lol:

Coilovers are cheap off mates - $300 and swap my current suspension :D

Could get half my cars weight in cement for that price though :lol:
