How'd you fit the 275's under the rear? And what suspension you end of using mate?

Easy as, standard diff, rolled guards and boxed trailing arms. Only had to fit an adjustable panhard bar. Front is coil overs

and that's with genuine ve gts wheels? and the factory size gts 275's? or smaller profile? my 245/50/16's were pretty close to both inside and outside, guard's rolled pretty well flat.
but you would also have no rear seatbelt bolt's into the wheel well which would also help.

Yeah genuine gts 275's no seat belt bolt, but you can always cut that back to fit the tyres.

thats awesome as still can't get over that they actually fit no drama's. how much lower from standard have you got the rear? i'm wanting to do circuit work in mine also, but mine's pretty basic compared to your's man.

cut an inch off super low springs. thats not for the track, im getting some special suspension built front and rear for the track, but that is months away at best. There is no weight in the back of mine at the moment, so it sits quite high even with low springs.

Havent got any decent pics of the clearance, but its not much, just a finger between tyre and guard, and about the same on the inside.
Deano I like the black around the windows.
Stupid thing should be started and tuned by Wednesday, back to AVO in the morning and hopefully home again Wednesday so i can send it down the panel beaters for some touch ups here and there, need to get the bonnet painted and fitted properly aswell.

Quick update on the tunning. Car made 390 rwkw at 5000rpm with 16 psi boost, bit more to come yet, few small issues to work out. Early next week to finish the tunning hopfully.
