I need shorter coils up front. The wheels do not clear the spring seat so I have had to wind them up. Less than 4mm clearance between wheel and spring seat . Thats what you have to deal with when you want to stuff big fcukoff wheels onto this car ... 😀
They will fit the Stag better though.

Dang, got highly depressed there for a minute seeing the pics withought the following stories, all I saw was oil streams flowing from the car. . . . . Love the new kak trappers by the way. . . . 😁
Sent from some crappy hand held device.
Nah, this little engine is too good to drop me like that hey...
Wheels are going onto Nicks Stag. He has a 2.7 Tomei motor in it now making over 1200 hp. It is friggin insane..
So the Stagea is up and running?
It ran last \week for the first time.
Seriously chuffed with my little car today at Swartkops.
Ran consistent 16.4`s when the track was clear. Joined the big boys today , dispatched some with some slower cars rather easily .. C63 AMG is powerful out of corners though..and you can see the modern traction aids working when he gets out of shape. Battled with him on track, if I had more straight I would take him on sheer overtaking so I had to dive bomb him up at the table top.Also nearly lost it in the move..(place "shit pants " smiley here ).
My gearbox is no good though. Kept jamming up and not wanting to go into gear..Jumped out of 3rd in turn 4 and some times refused to come out of gear..Time for the new setup 😈 😈
Bloody Scirocco R played with me today ! Damn, he was just so much better everywhere ! Handled brilliantly and also pulled away from me once he got past ! Mmmm...
A fun day had by all, few people there so track was nice and empty ..New Dunlop slicks felt awkward but proved there worth in the times..Ill get used to them . :domo:
soon as im up and running ill be joining you there..
sounds like you having some serious fun

I have looked at AP but the prices are just crazy right now...After driving Nicks Stagea I really wanted the AP,s..
I am running Vari up front and they are superb. Track days are a pleasure. Still had the stock rears on the car and they were standing up well to the track abuse.
With the second set of calipers now leaking I commissioned Rinaldo from Vari to get the rears sorted out for me. This is really a bit of a silly purchase as std 350Z or Scoob rear discs and calipers would have worked just fine. They just do not have the bling of the Vari`s though.. 8) 8)
Its all about the bling factor!!!
Looks gr8 but did you relies there a foot under your car???
Might need a brake bias controller for the rears.
How they feel?
Vari nice x9000
Looks good, nice discs. What size discs?
Looks wicked!!! Wish I had a pair of lanis to swop something fast
looking good Barry now you can stop quicker that you can accelerate

Saw that in the picture ! Must be the loud screaming I heard when I drove into the shop..thought it was from outside.. :facepalm:
The nice thing about Vari is that they size the pistons to suite oem stuff so that you don't have this total over kill in brakes..Feels awesome on the road and will be put to the test down the mine shaft at Kyalami this Saturday.
Disc size is 354mm x 30mm , 4 pot caiper with HANDBRAKE mech built in ! I now have to mod my cables and will then have the handbrake working as well.

Which is always a GOOD thing !! 8) 8)
Managed to get the cage in today as well. Nice part is that the roof lining and carpet stayed in. Rear panels were slightly modified to accept the cage but it still keeps the road feel and look.
As much as a bolt in cage can !
