Steery's RT142 Avante

[Steery]

the front bumper is not going to be painted because its mint, its getting replaced with a black shorter one from a corona cs or csi.

also no, i dont have a picture of it with the wheels on, but the front looks like a monstertruck due to the smaller rolling diameter of the wheels and how high mine is. wouldnt surprise me if it had been raised at some point in its life.

all stock suspension seems ot be in pretty good condition, hopefully no issues there when it eventually gets sent to regency.

update on the wheel situation: either the rear studs are to short, or i have to run wheel nuts with no washers. not really happy. but its the studs fault, not the wheels.

2.5 turns to finger tight isnt enough on wheel nuts, is it? i could get 4 maybe 5 if i took the washers off. the nuts have tapered seats.

and busby, no burnouts haha. unless its 11:30, out the front of big w and i magically get my commy back. i sorta miss mercilessly thrashing the fuck out of that thing.

Hey Josh I'll swap the proper performance nuts for your stock ones if they are the same as stock KE70 nuts

I have no need for fancy nuts lol

[Steery]

Aight, ill get a couple of photos of my normal nuts a bit later today.

Just need to feel a bit better so i can actually get up, haha.

Cheers bro.

Wheels and car could be for sale soon. $950 for wheels, $1750 slightly neg for the car.

[benzo]

Wut? Why?

[Steery]

don't know whether the dedication is there to put up with the crap that goes along with driving and sliding such an illegal car.

if i spend money on it and sell im gonna lose. if i dont spend money and sell im sitting even.

not sure yet. gotta think about it more.

Cars are money pits dude. Modifying is another step

Its a sickness... only cured by poverty

[corknose]

amen to that brother

[Steery]

I'm a V8 man at heart, this was going to tide me over untill i could afford a mint hsv enhanced VS Caprice or similar.

$4500 closer if i dont do it. Hard decision.
