http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/vti_coupe/my%20new%20s15/SDC10113.jpg
then i did a trackday in mondello and made a mince of my diff so i replaced it with a nismo 2way from andy at recession busters which has led to me doing alot of this kind of carry on
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/vti_coupe/SDC10166.jpg
then u power washed, waxoyled and undersealed it just before the weather got bad

http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/vti_coupe/DSC00451.jpg

then i fitted my front tow hook
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/vti_coupe/DSC00452.jpg

i blew another turbo gasket and tore the joiner from the hotpipe to the turbo intake
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/vti_coupe/DSC00456.jpg

was all worth it though when i won best entry of the day at goldstone when i done a trackday with DTD
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/vti_coupe/DSC00458.jpg

[Keith88]

Veeeeery nice dude ;) Bit of stretchuu and you should be good to go :D Loads of room to slam her too :cool:

[ste]

as per text..........

MY GOD :)

[s15_spec_r]

indeed, needless to say am broke as an ass now, and loan payment this week :( and i cant really go too much lowering on the back because i dont hav coilovers in the front so it will look awful gay altogether, so i hav to get front coiloverss lively, and possible rear camber arms, hopefully not though, when the 235's are fitted the sidewall will be damn near flush with the arch, im sooo happy with the fitment of them, grinning all day long hehe,
they are MINT condition too, DELIGHTED

[hunty_sideways]

:eek: enough said

[S14a johno]

nicccccccccccccccccce defo suit it :cool::cool::cool:
when i get a look :D:D

[carpo]

they look class on it..be nice wee bit of camber

[Mick K]

AWESOME.com!

[s15_spec_r]

cheers for the comments lads, fair play to ya christy for puttin up wit me plaugin ya the past 3 weeks lol.... :D in shocked they fit so well under the standard archs :O

@johno u shall see at japfest fingers crossed, i hope to hav it sorted for then, very slight possibility i will hav the front coilovers too :) damn im getting excited bout having it on its arse a ready lol, 3weeks I BETTA GET SAVING

[tweek]

ah Mr. O'Leary i have clicked who you are now
car looks well with the new rims

[paddyb01]

fuck they look class:eek:

[way2fastforu]

they look sweet as doogle!!ya def need a set for front now!!! theyd make the car look a 100 times cooler wen they all round...235 or even 225 an small bit camber an jus roll the lip in the arch an they'd be serious fit you prob wouldn even need to flare out the arches!!

[Simon]

in all honesty i reckon thats an arching job, at least flare them.. you will need silly camber to get them sitting under the arches...

[Mick K]

OT-Is there anyone in this country that can PROPER flare arches?

[Simon]

OT-Is there anyone in this country that can PROPER flare arches?

im sure it depends on how much of it ya want done....

[Mick K]

Remember Jays 14,Well my mate owned that before Jay,So say archs like that!

[s15_spec_r]

roll the lip with a 235 and then camber the mofo shud be sound, only one way to find out i suppose, have to find some1 hu can roll the lips properly with out making them look like a dogs dinner, im nearly sure one the boyos on ere done another members car and it came out very good? i tried searching posts but no joy

[Simon]

Remember Jays 14,Well my mate owned that before Jay,So say archs like that!

yip. as far as i remember that was a small enough flare.. could have just been a DIY arch roller done with care and tidy up before paint. unsure though..

[Keith88]

in all honesty i reckon thats an arching job, at least flare them.. you will need silly camber to get them sitting under the arches...

Id go for a 225/40 tyre and they'll tuck not a bother with minimal camber ;)

Pics as evidence .... Here's my s14 (18x9.5 et minus 4, 225/40), no front archwork at all and its not far off tucking! Of course my theory is dependant on s14/s15's having same size arches?

http://i35.tinypic.com/1043pdi.jpg

[michael]

nice 15 lad i think i seen these before

was it at citywest pro drift???

[CillianS14a]

I think i read before Keith that s15's have smaller arches,

They Meister look really well Dave, sounds like your happy with them too!
Are ya holding onto her now?

[Keith88]

Oh shit :o Well thats my theory gone :(

[hunty_sideways]

are s14 arches bigger than s15 ?

[hunty_sideways]

Oh shit :o Well thats my theory gone :(

explains my question and why my coilovers were perfect in a s14 and have me tortured with rubbing now :mad:

[CillianS14a]

explains my question and why my coilovers were perfect in a s14 and have me tortured with rubbing now :mad:

The coilovers will be the same but i think its just s15's can't fit as low offset wheels without arch work. Not sure if the arches are any bigger in diameter though

[alan opel]

lookin sweet as dave, wheels are serious!:D:D you holding onto her now?

[s15_spec_r]

yeah gonna hang onto it now boyos i like getting bits like this..... give me faith to carry on with the car, and 14 archs are bigger alryt as ya said cillian, as i tried a 9j -7 i think it was a god bit out further than my meisters are now, would 225 not be a bit serious of a stretch though?

[Keith88]

A 9j -7 is waaaaay more agressive than your current wheels though! It depends what you want really dude, if you want minimal archwork then Id certainly be looking at a 225 ....... ;)

Here's my 225/40 for ref, not that much stretch imo.

http://i38.tinypic.com/2qwnbeg.jpg

[way2fastforu]

225 the fuckers doogle its fuck all stretch really on 9.5j...the beads would pop onto the rim handy enuf wit jus an air line no bead blaster needed or none that crack...an the 225 give you plenty of extra clearance!!compared to the 235's

@keith88 me likey your wheels dude:)

[nikkisixx69]

wheels are looking savage on it!!!!

[PeterT]

I have a 225/40 on a 10j. no problems.

But yeh, there gorgeous wheels, not sitting right at all though. needs smaller tyres, lip roll and flare, and more low :D

[s15_spec_r]

well with huge thanks to famous jh on ere i got the lips on my rear archs rolled flush, he did a smashin job........
i also fitted godspeed camber arms as my OEM ones wernt worth a sh1te and i got 235's fitted. i think il go 225's next just so i wont hav serious camber going on,
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/vti_coupe/25082010040.jpg
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/vti_coupe/25082010039.jpg
http://i361.photobucket.com/albums/oo52/vti_coupe/01092010043.jpg
i hav to sort out the toe and can also reduce the camber too.......
the clutch gave way on me on the way back from JH's place so i hav an exedy hyper single on the way from Drift2, which will hopefully be here tomorow and wil hopefully give me time to get mileage on it coz im doing the drift session at japfest :D
and i know it need MOAR LOOOOWWWWW but im not lowering the back until i get some front coillovers or it will look mega gay lol

[way2fastforu]

looks the job:Dtwo more gold miesters front coilovers an more low an it'll look savage doogle

[Spartacus]

But yeh, there gorgeous wheels, not sitting right at all though. needs smaller tyres, lip roll and flare, and more low :D

X2. This could look so badass sitting at the right ride height.

Saw this up at the Galway Rally weekend on the Saturday, knew i'd seen it somewhere before.

[s15_spec_r]

what where ya in spartacus? ride height will come in time, PAITENCE MY CHILDREN

[Spartacus]

what where ya in spartacus? ride height will come in time, PAITENCE MY CHILDREN

Nothing of interest, Primera cause it had a full window :D

[s15_spec_r]

ah yes i understand, i was actaully shocked the piggies wer decent enough, i didnt get any hassle considering the windscreen is platered in stickers lol

[jdmireland]
