I'm heading for 195s next time...but I'd do 205s or wider still if I had the balls. There's plenty of room on the back, so why not try the 215s there? Not that a 300 is exactly short of grip at the rear!

cheers

WOOOHOOOOO V3M IS BACK!!!!

It will be embarrassing if v3m only just came back a few minutes ago. Honestly i havnt been checking it every 5 minutes!!!

My car is pictured on page one, it had your rims, i bought another one, gave the silver one away after volvo wreckers charged too much for parts imo. I didnt know there were any at pick a part!

I crashed into another car with it.

Did you know, that my name is cam, and i used to drive a 740!

my new car has the later model rims *boring* :|

Page of the worlds worst cars

geeze

Do you know where best place is to get all new shockers/bushes. maybe even springs??

Also, you wouldnt happen to have any RHS rear auto adjust mechanisms? mine isnt working still.

Is it you that bought 2 new 360s??

my bad - iwas looking in the gallery and all!!! lol

so it was your grey one the has the bested front end at teh start of the thread????

try Berrys (98745544) they always look after me and i reckon they are pretty reasonable in price!!

and no new 360's for me - my "normal" car from dec on will be a VT Commondore wagon

anyone thats thinking of doin the B23 swap - DO IT!!!

the car is soooo much more fun to drive now and goes a fair bit harder, but one question - anyone know what teh diff ratio is??? at 5500rpm in 2nd i'm doin 70kmh. a mate of mine with an 89 240 M47 is doing 95 in 2nd a the same rpm...
