Oooh, I've been wanting to see what the 6UL's look like on the road. Much guard lipping needed? I'm tempted to go for the 9's just because theyre there, but 8's would probably be more sensible

Adam, no problems with the rims, no rubbing.

Dont tell me they threw in Blue tooth for that price....if they did, i am sooo getting one!

no chance of that - the bluetooth unit is a few hundred to purchase. Supposed to be quite good however.

Nice! Where did you get the CF sill guards? Must've cost a mint!

Thanks guys - seems I can fit suspension along with the butterfly brace this weekend after my delivery this morning.

Now have Koni race shocks and ground control control coilover conversion with custom rate Eibachs. Only thing I'm waiting on are the adjustable end links from 949racing for my RB front sway bar.

Sent in my Cams Licence and application for the Supersprint series yesterday too, hoping to make the Eastern Creek round.

Well the butterfly brace is on and most of the suspension on the car is now finished, just waiting on the adjustable end links for the sway bar but its usable.

Haven't dríven it that far yet as I have to do a wheel alignment to dial out the massive toe out its now wearing, but have worked out the factory Bilstein/spring combo are really badly matched, the replacement Koni race/Eibach springs that I'm running are so much better both in the handling and ride department. Completely transformed the car.

Still working out ride heights and my new camber/castor gauge should be here this week so can do a setup at least. But its coming together well, dying to get it on a track to do some sorting now....

No pics at this point as it was late last night when I'd finished but looks far less of an offroader now
