Don't know if its the pic but the rims look alright to me.

Nice pickup!

Needs more clear indicators though (and as mentioned more lime green callipers).

Triple plate + dog... seems very extreme for your application Adz, if your application is a daily streeter. But being a tradie you've got a ute or run-about for day-to-day use?

I'm not being aggressive/having a go, I am genuinely interested - as a lot of people would be.

Congrats on a nice GC8 nonetheless!

Nice, sounds like she is going to be fun.
Have a look at other white GC8's with all orange indicators. White is the only colour, IMO, that looks good with the orange.
Even the ones next to the head lights.

Yeh it will be a daily and yeah..dont mind bout the dogbox..but the triple plate clutch does require 3k rpm start off..other wise i guess ill needa learn the friction point alot better as the r33 had a twin plate...

Would like to know, been in a DOG-BOX WRX and it was a PIG TO DRIVE.
They can be driven kinda-smooth but not overly desirable as a daily I would think

STRAIGHT-CUTS with SYNCHROS on the other hand are a perfect blend of smooth(ish) engagement and BULLET-PROOF teeth.

The clutchs sounds the most fun though... "I swear officer if it takes off on any less then 3000RPM...."
