    thanks bro. the rears needs a bit of spacers proly 15mm i tried 25mm and its hellafail and rubs so hard.

    i used to have 15x8 0 offset 195/50/15 tyres. rears are okay with -2.5 deg camber with just rolling the rear fenders. the fronts are -3deg camber and needs to pull the guards but i didnt do a good pulling so i effed it uped.

    atm im with 16x8 +20 offset with 195/45/16 tyres. rears are good and i even managed to lower it about 15mm lower (front & rear) without any rubbing. i changed my front guards with standard guards (just rolling the edges of the guards) without any rubbing too. hope that helped.
    So the last set of pics, you are using 16x8 ET20? The fronts are poking a bit too much for our police unfortunately. I think I will go with same fitment in the back, and maybe 0.5 inch narrower wheels than in the back. Should be perfect, have to test.
    Thank you so much! Your Beagle is really nice! Jealous of the bull bar and the foglights :P
  • This is so rad. Digging up a post from the past haha
  • lakaylakay Wagonist
    haha. still collecting parts and $$$ so i can update this.

    2017 UPDATE!

    Went recently to 4andRotary show and managed to squeeze the Shuttle Beagle just on time for Show and Shine. It has been few years that I haven't really done anything with the beagle, with a few peer pressure, up my ass and worked on it again.

    Repainted the bonnet, front & left front guards, front bumper and new lip
    bought a new set of 16x8 wheels
    and a goooood buff and polish.

    Sadly, i'm selling it so i could move on with my other car 'build'.

    but! before i sell it, i had to make a nice memory with it so a good mate of mine made me a rad video of it.

    make sure you click on HD! enjoy!

    Nice! Good to see you still have it. Is it still my old turbo kit on it?

    Edit: what front lip do you have. It looks good

    yeah been selling it on Facebook pages but all i get is likes likes likes. lol

    bought the lip from Speedscience. link is there. it actually looooks nice. fitment is nice too.

    yes I still have the turbo kit. but somehow its not holding boost so suspect is got a boost leak somewhere. will do a smoke test when im not too busy at work.
  • rti intracrti intrac Senior Wagonist
    I thought I saw it pop up a few times.
    Cool I'll have a look when my prefacelift bumper turns up

    I wonder if its my rangi discharge pipe off the turbo?
