Hot Damn that's unreal! And a great track to book. Looking forward to getting back to Ruapuna next March!

We may be jumping the gun a bit on Quinn. That said it has a bad taste from the beginning for budget track goers who want insurance cover LOL! Puke will find they are in demand but the issue there is the track is a sideline and they will not operate many weekends of the year due to horse races. the facilities are also meager.

The provinces are where its at folks. Forget your over priced Auckland business, move to Taupo, Waiarapa, Cantebury or north eastern Otago plains, buy and absolute SPREAD for high 6 figures, have great quality of life with plenty of toys and cheap and unlimited access to some of the best race tracks in NZ, your kids can go to school safely and learn to hike, camp and river raft, your missus will forget about Jimmy Choo shoes and youll have plenty of time and capital to invest on your clicks and mortar internet business which runs in teh background while you sleep making you 50c on every dollar invested and with which you can travel all around the world with when the kids are down at Otago university and its not cool enough to snow ski yet but too cool to waterski and too wet to bash up the race track....


Whats everyone waiting for?

Macca

Warwick. Those wheels will look very nice indeed on a black 964. Classey choice. Next step up is BBS E88, but the Works much better value....

Sean Seamer has the information you need. He has been through the whole sizing thing on his 964 RS rep. If you PM me Ill put you in touch because I dont think he hangs around here much anymore.

Too many cats and dogs! Pet food problems at both our local tracks...

As much as if like some e88's I just can't get much head around the $10+k it would cost to land them. At a little over $3k I can get a quality wheel and two thirds the cachet for a third of the cost. No disrespect to Work wheels as they make a top shelf product. These bad boys only weigh a little more than the e88's and are three piece wheels.

Thanks Macca, I have a direct line to Mr Seamer. We've done a little Porsche business together in the past and been meaning to catch up for a while now

Did you consider Rotiforms Warwick? They make some interesting three piece forged sets and my perception is that they're a cheaper alternative to BBS.

Let us know how you get on with your specs, I have my eye on a set of Works as well but in bronze on bronze. I've just put Bilstiens and H&R springs in, what spring/shock set up are you running?

pcarplayer

Hi mate, welcome to our little corner of RL. That pic looks the shiz. I have a black car and bronze would look kick ar$e too but i'm sold on the platinum gold. I'm running Bilstein pss10's

Maxem

I have no wise words in terms of offsets and the like but I do make the observation that you will soon join the hundy club?

pcarplayer

Dave, i have a loooooooong way to go yet. Throw in a engine and transmission rebuild and i'll be wearing the t-shirt

John McM

Big hi from the hundy club. More members welcome

Just did the nose bearing sleeve. It was a job I was dreading as big torque values and some horror stories out there. No more leaks from that end

pcarplayer

Well done John. Most of this fettling stuff is about confidence and common sense. Passed another fear and adding to the confidence to do more on the car yourself

young_dennis

I have set of these in 18's. Currently on my old car. (I can't remember the specs of the wheels though) I can see if my cousin has time to get the specs of the wheels

John McM

Yes, and a kick up the butt. I went into CCS to buy power steering fluid. The workshop gave me a litre. Then I mentioned I was doing the nose bearing sleeve and the guy said take our tool if you want, which I did and suddenly no excuses. The tool fitted perfectly. It was a relative breeze.

Hey Jake I kinda like the "Fuchs" style they did. There range has increased since the last time i looked

Thanks mate. The more info i can get the better. Were they the platinum gold?
