Why not Tony?? ROH make some killer wheels for instance. Not bagging on Simmonds but they are renown for being very soft and easy to bend.

Dumped, Ticky kit and Simmons FR's, either 17's or 19's would be perfect - Nothing beats 3 piece wheels with big dish on the rear

I left 18's out as they use the same centre as 17's and dont look as good.

I must say I am a huge fan of Simmonds wheels too, the FR is one of the few wheels that is aftermarket that I like. I think they have finished making wheels now.

[Sorted]

There are a few eseriesgetting around with FR19"s and yeah they look good.

ORSM just got real busy with events, I am not that organised to know in advance if I can do them :(

[EXR8ED]

Pretty sure Simmons went out of business in 2009 around September.

There are copies coming out now, someone bought the moulds/press and is starting to sell them. There in sizes from 17's through to 22's. Not sure on pricing though.

well i am very ****ed off..... my ute did a head gasket. what makes it even worse is the head needs to be reconditioned because the water ports have rusted away... so now im up for $650 for a new head + gaskets, coolent, oil ect.

thank god i opted to save some money and do it myself (its not that hard!!), otherwise i would have been up for labour and a new head.

just really upset that i have had 2 fords with 2 blown head gaskets.

[Sick EB]

head gasket change now complete. what a massive job....

good work, some of those bolts can be a right pain to get to

Well FINALLY the club trailer is done. Myself and Marko spent the afternoon today doing and fitting the loom and it now has all the lights fitted on and working as well as the bumper all fitted up. All there is to do now is get the other wheels hoopped and rego done.

I know I have mentioned looking at Subies in another thread, but I will be keeping my car for a while longer. It just so happens that I have come across a brand new BF MK II update Body Kit which I have been looking at and thinking about for a while now. Today I bit the bullet and bought it. In the meantime I will also be getting my wheels recoed and updated in colour to suit the new look. I hope to have these ready for show season. I also have to get the parts resprayed in venom so I dont know when I will be able to do that. We'll see how it goes and i will keep you guys updated.

Jack, that's what we want to hear!! Well done, look forward to seeing the end result

[JAKHMR]

Dont worry Jase Im still on the case mate. Always thinking of ways to change something on the Red Bull to make it neater.
I have also had the 150,000km service done today at City Ford along with a whole lot of minor slightly unoticable changes.
New belt, Power Steering pump, hoses and reservoir. New bonnet & boot struts. New shifter plate. Air-con re-gas. I still feel like a kid with new
I could have gone on small holiday for the money though.

Now for the body kit respray, renewd wheels and new window tint.
Hmmm... that should set it off!

[RED FGII]

Im also going back to my EL-351 plates, so the OR5MEL plates are available for someone that may want them

[JAKHMR]

Is this a taste of things to come??

[RED FGII]

doubt it jack, just movin on mate..

[JAKHMR]

Damn, I thought the idea of a 351 in that EL of yours would be quite nice.
