New wheels are a huge improvement. Personally not a fan of the exhaust and the ducktail. Would look alot better with a Gen4 wing (keeping the sleek look) and a nice shiny exhaust.

Thats an awesome effort, looking at how you got it and how it is now.
I was never a fan of the duckbill but it does look pretty cool on your car. Wheels look better too.
FTW! (Which I only recently worked out what it meant - I thought it was F* the world!)

Yep I have been hoarding for the past six months they are 17 x 8 +32 17 x 9 +38 CR Kai's - I really like the look of them. I also got some Ray's wheel nuts for cheap to replace the ones I bought off Ebay (they were very dodgy). Additionally I replaced the Aeroware lip with a US Racing one from Gorilla Industries as It was in a bad way..
I do have a 'Combat Spoiler' in my cupboard actually, I just love the subtle look of the Duckbill :). As to the exhaust - I do sort of agree however, it was free so can't really go wrong with that.
Thanks for the positive words about the wheels - I think in person it looks very aggressive now (especially still with the 16's on the front for that double stagger stance). So rears are a 235/45/17 - I have had various set ups before but I wanted a higher profile tyre. Unfortunately they do rub on my unrolled guards as I noticed when I hit a large bump I need to decide whether to live with it or try to find a local guard roller. I'll likely do the latter.

Wheels are a massive improvement!
Even though I do like the Equips they made the car look very dated, new ones suit it perfectly.

do you have a pic with the KAIs on front and back. HOT rims dude. Really like them!
Re guard rolling -grab a guard roller off ebay and a cheap XU1 heat gun from bunnings, roll your guards and resell the roller (or hold onto it) and offer to do other's guards.

Yep got the tyres put on this morning here we go:    I do like them - I'm going to try to dodgy up some centre caps for them sometime too. I have pretty much completed my list of things to do now actually. Just a handful of mechanical and electrical repairs remaining. Hopefully it will stay as reliable as it has been for years to come.

Wow.
The whole thing (lip, skirts, rear add-on, and rear spoiler- and now the wheels) suit it so perfectly!

I have been slowly working down the list of things I need/want to fix and also just appreciating having a fun reliable little car. I have been eyeing off a white 86 GT since they were released and I think I will get one in the coming year or two; but not yet. Anyway I had my camera on me today and took a few pictures. I recently purchased a house so I might try to offload a few goodies I've had stowed away for a time...
