Seen this ride in the flesh and its really sweet....I like the new wheels

Am I mistaken or did the car at some point have CSL rims or some kind of oem rim?

Nope doesn't catch. Think the offset is 35 and I have my arches rolled...no scraping at all even with a full load in back. :thumbs:

Did a little did work on car...she wasn't idling very well and myself and Chris brand replaced the ccv hosing and cleaned icv and disa unit along with throttle body....turned out I had a vacuum leak.

From there I found car was leaking oil by the bucket loads....turned out to be a very bad oil filter housing gasket. It was so brittle it disintegrated on contact...so here are some pics of work in progress

So.....update...after an oil leak from hell, can officially say its sorted....after every gasket I replaced, it moved somewhere else...I think I have practically replaced all gaskets on motor....

List of parts replaced...
Crank case ventulation hosing
Tapped cover gasket
Oil filter housing gasket
Dip stick o ring
Sump gasket
Rear main seal....

I am just glad I nailed it....now I can enjoy...no real updates besides the motor maintenance. Did an oil change with with liqui Moli Toltec and oil filter as well...

Next on to do list is aircon regass....

Need to wash and polish, hopefully take a pic or two...
