Looks very clean, I think it'd look a million times better all round on stockies, rims and stockies look ridiculous. You'd probably get less trouble from the cops as well. Looking forward to seeing the mods roll in.

im located in werribee bud. yea still have the 14's think ive got a few sets of them.....sorry didnt elaborate on details i started the write up but had to go out. the car is very very clean inside and out although there is a very minor scratch/dent in passenger doors from somebody hitting me at highpoint (and they drove off!). it is currently n/a the turbo kit is sitting on my other motor at the moment as i was going to do an n/a convert for a while but im worried about snapping bolts in the head which is what happend when i put the turbo kit on the other motor. i wouldnt mind an original a8 motor for a while so i can setup r33 box and hidden cooler as the new motor is pretty far off of completion. prior to turboing it i want to get my sound sytem in it (2 orange cone 15" cadence) and the usual splits and ****. also want to fit up adjustable panhard rod (probably today) clean up inside the boot, re do engine bay wiv a toyota washer bag instead of the plastic one (so i can hide it) and a stainless overflow bottle. move the fuse box to glovebox, remove power steering and aircon. got a quote last night for door shut respray, not that it needs it, even the painter said it doesnt need it but there is multiple 'little things' that im unhappy with. also got vt brakes for the front and turbo diff for rear just need a good place to get the diff done. cheers for the comments guys. heres a couple of pics with the 18s all round Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

picked up vl calais tailights today just need a garnish to finish her off. should be getting plenum next week (fingers crossed bloke still has it saturday so i can deposit the $$) bought a t4 to put on my jpc manifold just a cheappy not really looking for power on the n/a bottom end more just a mean cruiser at the moment (with a dose, ofcourse). started mounting up twin thermos to a spare radiator got everything cut perfectly. bought a big ass trans cooler going to get a motorbike thermo tomorrow just to be safe. all i need now is a gktek hidden cooler kit (which im guessing ill be waiting a while for) and then ill rip the front bar and **** off mount up the cooler do the trans cooler and mount up the thermos in 1 go. bought a full 3" stainless exhaust today for a good price. decided not to go r33 box due to the fact that im pretty bad when it comes to clutches. so going to build a wicked auto and fingers crossed it lasts.
