Default Green and Red or How I Spent My Saturday Night

Ooooo new wheels! 18x8.5 with 235/35/18 tires. Who are they for?

Ohhhh 5x112 hubs! Notice something wrong?

The stuff is for QPilot (Rob)! Yay!

So yeah we had two of the same side steering knuckles for the front. Keegan and I had to take an hour drive to go get another wheel bearing and grab the knuckle from a parts CQ because B4q front suspension and CQ front suspension are the same right? Wrong. There are two small differences but it works anyway. We come back and Rob has lit the car on fire trying to loosen the brake lines.

You might be able to see the Snoop Dogg style smoke cloud we had to let out.

Hey wait something is still on fire! It's the other side of the car.

Dirty Rob.

Dirty brake fluid.

Checking the fit. Why were we messing with the brakes anyway?

Oh yeah! 5x112 hub conversion, big reds and 18's all in one night! OMGHI2U!
