I like it. Wher did he get those wheels? what size are they? its so hard to find 4 bolt ford spaceing 4 x 108mm wheels in the bigger sizes. I am after a set of at least 8 or 9 by 18 any body help me with a dealer in OZ (thats not overthe top on there prices) that can supply them in 4 x 108mm.



The wheels are ROH Modena's and they are a 3 peice wheel, much like Simmons wheels where they can custom order to any spec you want and because of that, they are pricey.

If you want a wheel like that in a 4x108 stud pattern, it gonna cost you, or you can change the bolt pattern to a ford 5 stud and then the options are out there.

That is pure adultery on wheels - the whole stance of the car - the wheels and arches just pull it all together (the colour wouldn't matter with the look).

I'd be happy to put it in my garage.......

what's the motor? Stirfry20?

You can talk all you like about japanese drift racing influences, but all I see is fat yorkshire slapper trying to sing karaoke while pizzed on saki. Where I come from the only oriental influences are rice pudding which comes in a can you buy from Tesco.

Australia's best???? More like Australia's 1/2 rrsed. I'm sure its tough getting a gig with Classic Ford, but please don't let this car represent Small Fords from Australia. It just re-inforces the myth that Aussies are a bunch of nut bags with very little respect for the Blue Oval heritage.



I'll 2nd that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely SPOT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He really has F@%KED a good car....

Why go to all the expense of doing that to the body work and put an SR20 in it?? Did he run out of money??

I'll tell you why he did it, because he can. There's no reason why he cant. Im a fan of it, it's different and looks good. Id hate it if someone kept telling me how to modify my car because of it's age and back ground. Good on him for going a different direction I bet that thing is a screamer too [:x)]

Well said.. Those rims look terrible. I'm all for trying difefrent things and that, but they look shocking.

Sorry but I don't think its Australia's best.
