MRGen3Turbo: Thanks Nick. The car needs an alignment and I'd like to get the whole suspension system looked at. I also think the car sits a little low at the moment, so I wouldn't mind raising the car by about 10mm and also fit the rear RCA. I look forward to a guard rolling session in the near future man!

Nice choice in rim :) What size and offset did you get? Are they much lighter than what you had before?

MR2QIK: haha yeah finally pare, although it would have sat in storage for a lot longer if I hadn't of discovered how bad the tyres were on the ADVAN wheels! I'll be getting them painted a little later. I think I told you what colour scheme I was going for when you were down in Melbourne  . greddy_es: Thanks Adrian dez: Thanks man! It's been a long time coming. I fell in love with TE37's back in 2000 - 2001 when my friend showed me a catalogue he got from Japan. He couldn't stop telling me how light these wheels were and how he was able to lift with one hand so easily. Mrskylighter: Thanks man. Sorry if our cars look similar now, but as I have mentioned before the wheel colour will be changed  . In saying that there's nothing wrong with bronze, I just want to be a little different. The sizes are 17 x 7.5 30 offset (F) and 17 x 9.5 40 offset (R). These wheels are significantly lighter that the 16-inch ADVAN SA3R's previously on the car. stuka: Thanks Pat, and yes they have significantly transformed the look of the car. Hopefully the finished product (wheels) will be done by the end of the year. In all honesty I'm trying to focus on getting the BEAMs in the car and running

Nice width and offset for the rear! Should be able to get a chunky tyre on there if your that way inclined.

Mrskylighter: Thanks man. I do plan on running wider tyres (at least 245) for the rear once the current ones are worn but it won't be for awhile as the tyres that came for the rears are brand new but only 235.

Awesome stuff man! Everytime i browse your showroom thread it makes me just want to keep my 2=) Loving the wing extension and the wheels, only if you could get CF diffuser...!! Maybe graphite or something darker would do the job if you respray the wheels.

MR2RST: Thanks man. I think I might put the I.MEC extensions back on the car so I can get a feel as to what it looks like with the TE37s instead of the ADVAN SA3R. A carbon diffuser that works would be awesome, however I'd probably have to run a different exhaust. Man, I still think you should keep your MR2!

Yeah definately fit the extensions back on, i wouldn't want to be running against a car with those fitted on[:u] Still contemplating whether i should keep my 2, im just not ready to be pouring money into it cos i have an addiction problem when it comes to my 2 and i've been free of that for the almost 2 years!lol

MR2RST: haha when I had the extensions on I have Hondas trying to race me!
Have you decided if you're keeping the car? I know what its like to be addicted to buying things for the car, but I'm sure you can control yourself with the wedding coming up.

It was nice and sunny in Melbourne yesterday so I decided to take a picture of the car with the TE37s. As you can see the car is pretty dirty at the moment.
