With your wheels you should be sweet, good clearance on the rear wheels from trailing arm btw, i have about 5mm lol so your all clear.
BTW Alex, the wheels are also straight edge conical taper type, small differences in the angles between them and the nut probaby caused this, still shitty about it because i like the kics nuts but what can you do

sounds so so wrong
yeh ill have to do a bit more research AGAIN just to make sure i dont fuck up with the next set of nuts, the works were my second choice i impulse buyed the kics when i visited jdmyard with eddie a while back.
The trailing arm clearance is with my enkei rims fitted

UPDATE
So i FINALLY fixed my wheel grinding issue today, it turns out that the 2 nuts that holds the valve stem in place came loose and the outer one came off and got stuck against the tyre causing the grinding, useless bridgestone..
Out of the 4 mechanics i went to i got diagnosis ranging from bad wheel bearings to unmatched wheel nuts, it was Hanny's mechanics who were able to work out what was really wrong. Got my car serviced there while i waited, Hanny's are an awesome workshop i reccomend them to anyone
Finally i have had some great negotiations with different american parts dealers and i will most probably have some tasty new parts arriving soon at amazing prices, will keep you guys updated once i finalise my purchasesLast edited by stevan; 04-11-10, 01:55 PM.

So im in Macedonia at the moment and i walk outside to get some burek for breakfast and i see this clean dc2 parked out front havnt seen any other typeR's around Serbia or here for the last 40 days let alone my own car so i thought i would share......
As for my car, i will be home on the 26th this month im keen to have a meetup with the sydney boys if anyone is up for it. This year i also work 6 months as part of my uni degree which is paid so i should make a bit more progress with the car
Edit: im definitely buying yellow foglights when i get back because i think it will look boass on VBP and red h badges
Edit2: i think im back onto the buddyclub RSD bandwagon again, i think im going to boycott the zeals mainly because for the same price i can also get a haltech platinum pro tuned along with RSD's which i think stretches my dollar a lot further.Last edited by stevan; 20-01-11, 11:15 AM.
