sweet spoiler for me

So the VRX shit is it???? i dont like the EvoX one
i wouldnt mind the low rise spoiler that the VR (i think) got

[Itachi]

Tbh I was considering down sizing (shock horror!!) to the low rise because not being able to see really sucks. One of these days I'll take a photo of what you can see. It basically covers where the cars behind you are, so you can see the road and the sky but not the cars. Stupid lol...

You could always get the spoiler from the Russian GB, I think they have all the styles available.

Yeh I thought the shipping thing was a bit silly too, but its $3 so whatever. Our $ is stronger now anyway so we probably are back to square.

Graham just buy some foam from spotlight or something and shove it in there

Damn you Rahul! Now I'm really keen for the fenders! My car loves you and my wallet/gf hate you Btw did you say you got your tyres at tech9tyres? I have been checking out their stuff and it looks pretty good. Although I must admit I saw some ok looking ones at bob jane that were like half the price, and still 2/3 the coolness.

oh and I got this today



For some reason they didn't have a blue VRX one

Hey Matt u can get what i have the low rise one... looks good and similar to vrx one but does not block the rear view...

and David lol i m sorry i m pretty much done with modding my car after this cuz needa save up for the RA.... and nah bob jane are quite shit tbh i prfer tech9 good service and good variety and prices are good as well... they changed my rims asap when it was giving me problems... but its ure call man ultimately its what u want and can afford....

and btw the prices on tech9 website are not what u pay.... my rims are supposedly 1800 or 1900 on the website but i paid 1650 fitted with tyres..

[Itachi]

yeh I was planning on having a chat with them when we get the springs fitted (I just assumed it was them?) I love your rims, but I want them without the red stripe. I figure I can sell my VRX ones for like $600? They are only a few months old (so are the tyres)... Which makes the Tenzos quite affordable Only problem is I want red calipers (+25kw!)

[lancervr]

well u can ask em to paint em for u when they fit the rims that wat i did... they painted it free for me.... just needa provide the paint which u can get from supercheap or repco for like maybe 18 bucks? 1 can does 2 cars with still a fair amount left over....

[Itachi]

I really need a job to support what is fast becoming a modding addiction...

[lancervr]

Lol whatever money i make from working has been spent on my mods on my car..... alrdy just bought spme PIAA Deno 5 DRLs ystrday should be gettin em sometime next week so will get em fitted when i do my springs...

[Itachi]

I may be going broke but im gonna look damn good doing it

I didn't realise tech9 where in Subiaco as well, I thought they were just out in O'connor.

What tyres did you end up getting? I want some that will actually grip lol

[lancervr]

um the subiaco one is really small and not very cheap compared to the occonnor one... well i wanted to get falken fk452s or kumho ku36s but i was quite broke so got nexen n6000 tyres.... they are actually pretty good i must admit quieter than stock and quite grippy..... and signifcantly cheaper.... but of course i would prefer the falkens any day of the week...

[BrownDog]

Bob jane anit that bad


David if u find wheels on tech9 u me and aaron will go down and get them together.

Rahul says they will be cheaper

[lancervr]

Oh and also word of advice the locknuts they give free with the rims are chrome only.... they dont have black.... i found out and went out to get muteki lightweight black ones when they took off my rims to get teh right offset ones

[Itachi]

Well those ones on bob jane are $179 a wheel for 18" so around $700. Thats pretty good considering they are 'lightweight race rims' lol. They do look good though.

As for tech9 its not a matter of if I find something, if its I find some money

Considering there might be three of us I'm happy to go with you and talk prices on a set of Tenzo R Cusco or the Konig Zero-In. I hope they have some of the other colours available, like the konigs with blue not silver inside...mmmm...

[lancervr]

Lol thats fair enough..... i got mine cheap cuz i got it fitted with my mate.... well they can get any rims u want just gotta tell em and their motto is they beat any price so do some research get a quote and give it to em and they will beat it...

[Itachi]

Well Rahul and I are going in on the 16th to get our eibachs installed so we can all meet then if it suits you guys? Anyone else in WA looking at rims come with! Mass discount for a big buy lol

[lancervr]

Lol two group purchasing of stuff WA is so moving forward now hell yes
