Can we expect a selection of stickers to put over the visor warning label?

Coilovers on Friday, and these rims may end up going on for the time being, cos i dislike the stockies... I want some Work CR Kai's in the same colour, but I havent found any yet.

Also will be getting some semi slicks.. So theres probably no slidey for me.. But the stock rims will be good for that

BIG THANKS TO OPTION 1 GARAGE!!!!!

Offset is very aggressive, and will require some camber to get the fronts to tuck in..

We will see how we go... They are 18x8.5s.. I'm hoping to try get some staggered rims though, so this may just be an interim.

What sort of offset are the wheels? looks like +30 to me
And tyre specs?

Will have some pics of the new tint and interior/exterior protection today, then wheels, tyres and coilovers tomorrow

[WTF]

OK, today was a big day of more mods for the StreetFX project 86!

With only 100kms on the clock, the car got the following - interior and exterior protection, tinting, coilovers, rims and tyres...

Firstly the car went into Solarstyle Window tinting (who also tints for BMW Brisbane pre-delivery, so you know their work is top notch, plus Shannon's a really friendly guy with attention to detail and care for your car).

Thanks to Solar Style, the 86 now has Mirror tint, Gtechniq Exterior protection and full interior protection.. If anyone has any questions in regards to the interior/exterior/tint, shoot me a PM and I can put you in touch with the guys at SolarStyle.

Shannon did a wicked job, and here's a few pics:













Once finished at SolarStyle, the car went to Option 1 Garage for coilovers and wheels

Wheels chosen as a quick solution were 18x9.5 front and rear.. (YES 9.5" on the FRONT!), No rub, no guard rolling, completely stock!

Wheel weight is quite light at 10kg per rim, for a 18x9.5, thats quite reasonable!









We obviously needed a fair stretch with 215's on a 9.5" rim :P




Coilovers chosen were BC racing, which are still a great quality coilover, with warranty, come with camber tops, swaybar links, and full warranty. Option 1 would be more than happy to do 86forums customers a good deal, just hit them up in their section on here.










Comparison of BC Racing coilovers vs stock suspension:



Some things to note, the coilovers give you a lot more room for wider rims. That said, we test fitted the wheels without the coilovers, and they still fitted fine, just was close to the spring platform.






Fitting the suspension:













Now throwing the wheels on, we needed to see how much camber was required to tuck these massive wide rims into the guards...












I wasn't there during the install, so if anyone has questions, shoot me a PM and I can put you onto Option 1 directly.

Anyway, here is the finished product!






















Once again, MASSIVE thanks to both Solar Style window tinting, and Option 1 Garage in Brisbane.. Anyone chasing any of the products listed in here, I highly recommend both these places to supply your bits

Awesome looking tint.... Shame it would get you booked in no time in WA :-(

What offset are those rims?

[ex-gti]

is the tint legal? thought we were not allowed to use mirror tints

[davey90]

if mirror/chrome tint is legal then i'm all for it. i think it's legal but it would have to be really light tint.

EDIT: yup! they're not legal....

I got this from NSW RTA's Vehicle Standards Information

Rev. 3 - July 2003


so not sure if changed since then...

[blags]

What offset are the wheels?

[JiB]

that camber is crazy awesome! how the ride after the changes?

I dig the tint, wonder if its legal in nsw

[benoh]

that's got to be one of the nicest 86's i've seen...

and nice porsche and m5 too.. sweet stuff.

did you change the bulbs on the headlights or DRL? or are they stock?
