I take it the Porsche wheels need expensive adapters??

 

[suj]

adapters don't cost that much tbh, i am selling my D90's at the moment

you can get them for like £150, not too bad i guess, and you don't really want to skimp on adapters, as you'll just end up losing a wheel/damaging the car

Jim so what's next for this?

 

[sirjimalot]

In all honesty i had fk adapters and got another set off ebay and i much prefer the ebay ones,

The fk ones were aluminium and accepted Porsche wheel bolts, the adapters were held on with poor 8mm allen head bolts, The ones i got from ebay were Heavy heavy steel, came with there own stainless bolts to hold the wheels on and were held in place with 14mm hardened stainless steel allen head bolts complete with tool. feel much safer than the fk ones..... same as these 390201030495


Next is a few bits to tart up, have some new seats to go in, new steering wheel, remap, and some nice porsche brakes, all hopefully sorted by end of june

i got ebay ones too jim, awesome mate, like you i hate the FK's, felt crap an flimsey, the H&R ones are meant to be awesome, as they have titanium helicoiled inserts for bolt holes, but for that price they better have a trick up their sleeve lol

sweet, love the colour!
what wheels you gonna run on them?

 

[sirjimalot]

Currently running 7x16 boxster wheels, looking for summit else, would kill to get my old MOi's back haha

 

[suj]

sweet, car looks good either way

like you, i wish i had my RM's back i seen the car they are being run on, my god they would of looked amazing on mine haha

but sometimes you gotta just move on mate

 

[sirjimalot]

i know i know, fancy some rota slipstream's i think they would look the dogs danglies in the polished ones

Due to my DSLR biting the bullet i never got any snaps for anyone,

However since the last time i updated the following has happened.

Blue Flame Cat Back

Revo Stage 1

305 Brembo's

Finally finshed my bumper moulding.

N249 AND SAI BYPASS

TIP

Jetex

and im refurbing the Boxster wheels at work next week into a swanky new colour....... Lexus Silver Graphite Shining Flake Effect, <- What a shite name,

Anyways should look pretty cool,

Also have Seats and Harnesses to go in as well as a Laguna FMIC

I am/have been rather busy and my DSLR is back so will start snapping when i can

 

[sirjimalot]

A little bit of a clean, and the newly refurbed Boxster wheels!!!!!

 

[cus]

that looks stunning :| i love it! one of the nicest cars on the website imo

 

[ashgtiturbo]

a cracking colour mate! what about bmw technoviolet for the bay?...you'd keep the bmw theme running then and it looks awesome when the sun hits it!!

And i love the wheels, id love a set or the 17in porsche twists...

 

[Biomorphs]

Wow looking really good!

 

[sirjimalot]

the bay is satin black, and it looks spot on, i should really get some more pics,

I would prefer if the wheels were 17"

 

[JordanMk3]

Mate, that shot is awesome.. Looks fantastic!!

 

[sirjimalot]

Wow. Haven't updated in ages.

Car is currently off the road for the winter. It's getting a k03s and Qpeng downpipe.
I have some OZ Superturismo from the Cupra R to go on. Not a very nice looking wheel but the car will be much better to drive with them on.

And I'm finally ditching my back seats and carpeting the rear. Once I get started I will update with pics etc.

 

[cus]

any new pictures???

 

[sirjimalot]

Not really no. Things have been rather quiet if I'm honest.
