Black tri's never going to happen i am not a fan at all Here are my new plates that finally arrived today And i will get some footage when i take it down the strip Just a general question to anyone that might know when i under it a bit the car really twists, the right side of the car seems to bog in, the car drives straight but the front end almost seems to point toward the right side of the road??? could it be IRS or what any help would be appreciated cheers Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

if the bushes etc in the rear ar flogged out it can cause the back end to sit out of alignment. best to take it to a suspension shop and get them to have a look at it for you.

Hey guys i am still waiting on my tri's to be polished, the guy who is doing them has been caught up on other jobs should have them early next week fingers crossed. Just a question when it comes to tyres how wide can i legally go i was thinking 17/255/40's on rear and 17/235/40's on the front but if i can go wider on the back i will. 275 maybe?

Mate, I don't like your chances of fitting a 275 on the rear....unless you're planning on minitubbing the thing! Now that would look tuff! Hehe

Nice car. 275s won't go on the factory 17x8 rim. 255s is as wide as you should go

yeah as NZ said 275s aren't gonna fit properly. 235s or 245s will fit fine and handle well, could go 255 if you wanted a fatter stance

Well VERY unhappy after 3 weeks of waiting on my tri spokes getting polished i pick them up late on friday, had tyres fitted and on closer inspection he had done a really **** job. I hate the fact that i have been ripped off, the face and lip of the rim is very good its just the attention to detail he has been lazy i tried to call the guy but he wont answer my call. Not sure what to do now do i spend more money and have them done somewhere else of try and fix them myself??? on the plus side i got a good deal on some 17/40/245's today i was going to go 255 but settled on the 245 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I had a feeling that'd happen Tell the ****head to redo them properly (for free ofcourse) Also, DEVNT8 did you buy 7FOUR7's old Senator? That thing was a really beautiful colour & trim combo. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
