Lol, cheers guys!! I've been enjoying them all day, plenty of people take note! I've got the car in on Monday getting new springs and some other work!

The overall diameter of the tyre/wheel combo is actually LARGER than the globes they replaced... The fronts are slightly smaller.

And for the rear wheels, no they are the same (16 by 7). Just the profile and width of the tyres make them look deeper! I love it!!

No go with the triples for now, i've got bigger plans first!!

Cheers
Keith

Hey guys, its time for yet another surprise... And before you say "But you just did that", ill say "I know".

Here's just a little hint of what it could be, but im not saying until it's been completed. However all the details throughout this 'project' will be saved and a fully detailed and photographed report will be included once complete (just in case any of you guys want to try it out)

Sarsha, Nathan and Sammy already know about what it is, and i would ask that you please do not reveal it until its been done!

Cheers guys
Keith

MMMM... NO. Rice belongs in jap crap! Plus the supra tail lights are off a mate's supra, with an injected 5M-E 2.8l motor. Thats his car, but he's got spare parts (i.e. lights)... His car is remaining in one whole piece, we just got it registered, so one would hope so anyway!!

I cant wait now... Once i've sorted the paperwork and everything that needs to be done for this new donk, it's on.. Should be in about 4 to 5 months before the transition happens...

Cheers
Keith

Oh, i forgot to add... i've just put a deposit on a 'grandma white' UC Torana with 173 and auto box... But due to the 'i dont want to' factor, the 179HP is NOT going into this white UC....

Haha, gogo mobile motor... haha...

Should be good once done. Nice, powerful, more economical than the 179, yet heaps more power, and very very quick while at the same time it will be a clean install with all wiring to be hidden and custom parts made for it too...

Well if your gonna say V8, you've gotta be specific... Is it a 253, 308, injected 304, 1UZ-FE, Chev?? It could be another 6 too! But unless your specific i'm not gonna say!

Ahh bugger it - Barny guessed it... I've scowered the auctions for a while now, and while unsuccessful so far in finding a donor car, it will be a VS onwards roller cammed injected 304cube V8. It will have work done prior to being put into my UC, and if all goes to plan, it'll have a 5 or 6speed manual gearbox. The way its going, it looks as though i'll have a tricked up auto somehow... But i want to swap cogs myself, so ill do my best to find a manual.

And in true "Keithy" fashion, 16" wheels allow the brakes to be upgraded (as we speak this is happening), a custom 120L drop tank with swirl pot is on order (for streamlined fuel delivery to the hungry beast), and the V8 is gonna be one of the cleanest installs you will see.

I'm spending the cash on this one - hidden wiring, custom parts and HUGE power is the name of this game. A game on which i intend on being a front runner at the very least. I've set myself a $12 000 budget (including purchase of donor car, and sale of both the 179 setup, and the donor car's parts). This $12 000 includes the drop tank and brake upgrades as well...

Now i've told you, im going back to my cave....
