[Mike R]

Yeh im still playing with ideas, whatever colour they go ill be doing my roof and grills the same, Still liking a really deep shiny gloss black though

 

[Mike R]

The longly awaited custom wheel adaptors should be here tomorrow i was told today so hopefully i can bolt the wheels on tomorrow night and see how they sit, i just hope i have done the maths right.

In the mean time, my car has cost me a fortune this month, £135 for 6 months tax!
and its in the garage tomorrow for an M.O.T and a wheel bearing, then the following saturday for all these to be fitted!! . . . Expense Expense

 

[shaun.]

looking good mate

how much you paying to have the cam belt and water pump done??

 

[James23Parkin]

Hi Mike,

Very exciting times! I must say, when I had my cambelt service (belts, pulleys and tensioners) done, it really did make a big difference, IMO; the engine felt refreshed and generally pulled better, and still does.

I look forward to seeing pics of the new wheels fitted

 

[Mike R]

My brother in laws a mechanic so hes doing it for me, plus i have the advantage of getting all the parts trade price so im very lucky there.

 

[Mike R]

My wheels adaptors have finally turned up today after waiting 3 weeks for them . .

The quality is excellent so if anybody needs anything made similar, contact me and i can pass the chaps details to you who done these for me

 

[EL]

Very nice. What thickness are they? So all set for the wheels now? Looking forward to seeing these on

 

[Murdered LCR]

There huge lol get those wheels fitted

 

[Mike R]

Yep all set now apart from tires

There 35mm each corner, and yes i know thats wide etc etc but i dont care about handling and goin through wheels bearing and anything else anyones gonna say

just praying ive got my measurements riht so they clear brembos etc

 

[EL]

oooo should be interesting. Going for some stretch tires I take it?

 

[Mike R]

Yes mate but nothing over the top . .

 

[Mike R]

I had a little play earlier, ill let the pictures do the talking . .

( sorry for the shite Iphone pics, it was dark )

Ive split them all tonight as well as there getting painted tomorrow!

Ill try and update again tomorrow when there outta the spraybooth

 

[EL]

Not going to poke out as much as I originally thought, should look ace. I'd definitely say stretched tires, will look the part

 

[Mike R]

Yeh i spent long enough measuring them etc . . yes going to run 215/35 on a 8J wheel, not huge poke but will be just enough

 

[Mike R]

so yesturday morning i took the wheels to be sprayed at my mates booth . .

I picked em up this afternoon and put them back together after spending an hour polishing the bolts up . .

 

[Murdered LCR]

Niceeeee

 

[coops10]

Tasty! Get them on the car asap

 

[Mike R]

Cheers guys . . yep just need tires now and then there on! . . They wont be staying on though untill im finished with the car and its all sprayed up, hopefully be be the end of march, its crying out for coilovers which will hopefully be going on in next few weeks after tires are fitted and i know how i want it sitting . .

 

[LEE69]

Very nice, you got loads of room with them spacers.

 

[Mike R]

Yep, i wanted to make sure they missed the brembos by a bit plus at the back of the wheel it was close to the suspension strut so i wanted to make sure there was enough clearence there, hard to tell without tires but they seem spot on to how i wanted them.
