Haha Alex you seen the colour I'm getting my wheels done going 195/40 on rear and 185/35 on front now tyre wise lol.

 

[ALEXZ360]

Nope not seen it

 

[ALEXZ360]

And I'm probably going to go 195/40 all round and what happened to messaging me a price?? or have you kept them?

 

[phillpotts92]

Lol kept them for now till Zach decides to sell up lol. Sorry mate.

Yea I way going to but I want stretch on all of mine and you only have Rco-41's don't you?

 

[ALEXZ360]

Ah right fair enough, oh right is he selling? And yeh all mine are RC041's
Found a place that will do my alloys for £30 and alloy and another for £40 so going to see them and see what colours hey have

 

[ALEXZ360]

What colour you going for??

 

[phillpotts92]

Yea I did see your fb chat with that £30 guy lol.

Don't know if going for colour coded red or different red.

Nah he's got three sets of adapters lol

 

[ALEXZ360]

Looks good, I've got an idea that I might go for, gold centres then have alternative gold and silver nuts around the lip

 

[phillpotts92]

Nah that'll look naff sorry lol.

 

[ALEXZ360]

I'm gonna do a photoshop of it when I get a chance

 

[ALEXZ360]

Got an update coming next Tuesday

 

[ALEXZ360]

Decided to clean the car today using my autoglym products and I love the aqua wax they have,

Here's some pictures

And this is why I love black cars

 

[char_baby]

That is an amazing shine it is!

 

[ALEXZ360]

So I promised you an update and here it is

Don't know how far they are wound down but I'm happy with it for now

 

[t.oldaker]

Wind them down more!!!!! sits better though and they will drop once settled.

 

[ALEXZ360]

Lol I will eventually but need to sort my wheels out next and get them on

 

[ALEXZ360]

Tried to test for the BBS tonight just to get an idea of adapter sizes, so the pictures aren't great for 4 reasons

1: it was bloody freezing
2: it was going dark quick
3: the rims were held together by 2 bolts
4: the wheel was held on by 1 wheel nut

So here is a very poo but a still a sneak peek

 

[Max pt]

I like a Ibiza yelllow

 

[ALEXZ360]

So after a few days rallying round Cumbria in the lakes the suspension has softened up abit and settled and it's looking good but still want it lower but have no idea on how to do it lol, any tips?

 

[cupra.al]

take the wheel off obviously with the car in the air.
then the ring that holds the spring in place (under the spring) should have some allen key bolts going through it release them then wind the ring down towards the wheel go for two or three threads at a time make it equal amounts of thread both sides then tighten the grub screws.
