22inch Ek
Re: 22inch Ek
Very Nice work, I'd say you may need to re-use that jig for others going by the quality of workmanship.

Re: 22inch Ek
Hey Kid what time frame have you got from the engineer for the build??
Run what ya brung and hope it's enough
Re: 22inch Ek
Thanks Guys
No time frame Damien.... None of the engineers we have spoken to have mentioned anything about one. Has your engineer still put a limit on your build?

Hey kiid,
Very impressive engineering. Just a question though. What do your engineers think of narrowing the track? My own (limited) knowledge is that car manufacturers like to get the track as wide as possible for stability and handling.

Re: 22inch Ek
as far as i know, the track width of the original car (not the donor front end/ diff is the measurement that matters. so you should be able to increase or reduce disk to disk distance as much as you want as long as your offset of tyres puts the centres within a certain percentage from original.

Re: 22inch Ek
Cheers Luke. I thought the regs must allow a bit of leeway somewhere. The tyre offset is it.
Re: 22inch Ek
Its a definite no in NSW , But then .... consult an engineer for the up to date specifics
I tell you what though I wish it was OK over here it sure would save some hassle and $$$

Re: 22inch Ek
That could be due to (hopefully) the 90 day permit scheme coming in Doller.

Re: 22inch Ek
He says so long as the engineering is up to par and every detail of the modification is documented it should not be a problem.. Hopefully it isnt or else a lot of time has been wastedStygian wrote:Hey kiid,
