I have photos on my Facebook page for disintegrator performance.

Cause jap? Its a Swedish car!
Even if you stretch 195's on them and cut and flair the shit out of the guards and you are happy to put up with a bit of rubbing you will still need a a corrected offset of around 0

If you want to run your 25mm adaptors your wheels will need to be around +25 at a minimum
@Vee_Que‌ alright ill check it out.

I know :P but adding some jap styling. Hahah.
Tyre stretch has been on European cars like golfs since the mid 2000s now actually. It's just in Australia its associated with when the drift scene first started.
@Rob‌ yeah ill be looking around anyway just needed to know what to look for. Thank you.

@Vee_Que‌ I never knew that. Well I'm going with euro styling then? Hahah.

auto that is a shame. i drive a truck so most days i drive up that road. i sore it sitting at your house the other day knew i had seen the car from somewere. it looks like a very clean car.
I know i want to do a manual conversion badly. Oh really? Thank you, it's got some bad points but I'm working on those. @benny1314‌
manaul conversions from what ive seen on cars are a complete pain in the ass. you need to get it engineered as well im pretty sure. that why when i bought mine i wasent going to get a auto. yeh i pretty much see it ever day haha drive up that road ever day. i sore the roof was white and the body was blue vinyl wrap or soemthink ?
Im pretty sure you don't have to engineer it if it's an option for the car. The roof is white vinyl and the blue is paint. @benny1314‌
You wont have to engineer it..... and a manual conversion is not an overly difficult task
well i dont know how hard it is for these cars. but for holdens it can be a real pain.
Lol need engineering. Nope. Anyone can do the conversion. I did one on my 264gle v6 the week before I started my mechanic apprenticeship. 8 years ago now. .. In my driveway with basic tools. Was not fun!

A simple 'engineering is not required' probably would have sufficed.

@benny1314‌ , as Alex and the others have mentioned, it is not required.
My 1990 240 was originally an auto car - On the day I got it, after picking it up and driving it home, we pulled the auto out and started the manual conversion. We had the conversion finished the next day.

Well I finally have a computer so I can update my build thread,I haven't done much really just wheels. I've decided on slowing down so I can save some cash so I'll just be buying little things here and there.

I am also wanting to do a b230ft and manual swap so bad, but can't find bits I'm mainly after the engine so I can start rebuilding it.

First meet.






I also took it to winton matsuri as a support car. :P
