nice build good to see its getting there

can you suggest an alternative offset for the rear since yours are touching?
looking very saucey.

15" x 6 13p for the front and 23p for the rear. I have a H165 though. I think I have 185/45 on the front and 195/50 on the rear and they stick out a few mm each side which looks fine from the front and side but from the rear it looks a little strange as it does not fill the inner guard. Im hoping it will look better with the bumper on. If it still looks funny I will get flares made or a diff cut down, not sure which way to go.

If you have a H145 and wanted to fill the flares im not sure if these offsets would suit, maybe the 13p would work. I think you could go widder in the same rim. You will soon learn that noboby can help you with offsets. You need make diagrams and ask what the back space of the rims are. Then draw the rims on your diagram.

please don't add flares, get the diff narrowed a little. It looks so good as it is :D

I have to go the other way I love flares on these cars especially when they
look like this one:

+1 Agree. Love the flares

I will make a decission when I put the bumper back on. Im leaning towards just letting it go and getting a diff done when A) I get defected or B) I can't stand the look of it anymore.

Any suggestions on side mirriors? I welded up the holes on the guards and want to put 1 on the drivers door. Don't know what style.

Yeah ok i'll concede the ones in the picture above do look pretty good :)


Hey Gav what about mirrors like the ones on the 1000 above they'd look alright moved back to the door. Those ones aren't actually mounted on the top of the guard either which is a bit different for "guard mirrors"

You could mount a wrap around internal rear view mirror until you find which mirror
will suit your needs. Look at some on the jap sites, youll see that there are some
nice ones avail to suit your taste.

I'm really impressed with this car. This combo ticks so many boxes for me... 5 speed box, common light engine, more power, and EFI.

I had considered a 4AGE but they're as big/heavy as a CA18DE. This thing however really gives me something to think about over an A15. I can see a Suzuki boxx for $200 on ebay, and a GTI wrecking for $500 on ebay... that's a $700 driveline setup...!

One of these should get up around 100rwhp with standard atmo mods, and from there the sky is the limit. I had a mate with a turbo'd swift gti about 10 years ago, it went like a shower of sh!t... :)
