Only done them last summer.Are the muteki wheel nuts a straight fit, I know with other aftermarket nuts you need adapters? Just been through this thread from start to finish and your car is amazing, the amount of time and effort (& money!) gone into it is incredible. Props for also doing the majority yourself.
Wheel nuts turned up. Muteki steel nuts in blue.
Weather has turned for the worse now so won't be fitting today. Bought some Autoglym wheel protector to stick on the wheels to hopefully keep the wheels looking good.

Props for also doing the majority yourself.They're 45° taper fitment so they fit majority of aftermarket wheels. You'd need adaptors for standard wheels.

It actually got me so excited I've booked my first time there in July with a mate (who has already been this year) off the back of your updates haha! about time I grew a pair and went. Car looked good out there considering the conditions, watched your Youtube videos and saw it was quite wet/damp, that would terrify me in all honesty haha. One thing I love about your car is the sound, sounds absolutely perfect!Cheers Luke. I'm more than happy with how it sounds although it's nothing I've chased for.
All the best,

I've recently removed the rack raiser bracket to try eliminate some bump steer and this has worked a treat. For those who run a particular brand of coilover, you don't need this bracket as the steering arm location on the coilover compensates for the angle. If anyone wants an explanation on this I'll be more than happy to elaborate.Can you elaborate please Lewis, I also have GT1's fitted with rack raiser and have terrible bump steer, although mine look fairly level?
