    Yea, Coca Cola I'd say, if you ever saw a tooth left in it for a day you'd see how good it is at dissolving stuff.

    Car is coming along well, I'm sure the wheels will be worth all the work in the end.

    Well i can say that coke is heaps better than vinegar, seemed to have a much harder time cleaning the bolts after the vinegar than the coke,

    so got some bushed fully adjusttable arms


    and theyll see me rolling and they will be hating



    even tho i will 100% be using rear over-fenders, i still want to leave the arches in good nick that if i ever decide to take them off i can go back and run with a rolled arch so hoping i can get the arches looking like this and leaving it tight to 30mm overs,



    i wont be able to get the turn down in the flare, but ill leave it in a way that i will be able to later on if i want.


    also loved the shape of the vents on the Wings i bought, so incase i cant find wings with similar vents i made a quick FGR copy

    rub some tin foil on the wing



    start laying some fibreglass onto the foil



    couple of layers to give it some strength



    the let it set and pull it off



    its rough so if i need it ill obvyousley build up the layers, slap on some filler and smoth her up

    might not use or need it but its practise incase i ever need to do something similar:P

    Just sorted these out about 5 min ago



    3" Lips, meaning i have chickened out putting the 10.5 up front and have decided to promote them to the rears, :ghey:

    running the 3" up front means i have the little extra bit of comfort and hopefuly ill get the +30mm Front Wings i like and they will fit snug under them

    Just bought them in the states so hopefuly Next week they will be here
    also bought a D-max boot lid spoiler aswell should be here next week also haven't quite decided if i shall fit it or not, but its nice to have if i get the Urge

    and I got news my other set of wheels Have finnaly arrive from Japan so paid the Balance and getting them posted up Monday, sadly not for the s15, planning on getting a s14a in the next few weeks and they will look awesome on it, Same as what i have already Veilside's 18x11 -30, 18x10 -18
    :notworthy:notworthy:smitten:

    Cant wait to get stuck into them :P
