Tried on my D90s at the weekend. Think I should have gone for slightly wider front adapters, but the rear sits spot on.

Also tried to space out the wheels a bit but that ended in disaster.

Rears were too wide and so scrubbed like mad. (Only 15mm)
Also spaced the fronts by 5mm to try and stop this, but bolts supplied were too long and seem to have done something to the ABS.

I think getting those D90's is the answer mate. Much as the SuperT's look good...amazing in fact, they seem to be a bit more trouble than they're worth. How long till you can wrap them?

 

[ndbrgr]

They are a bit of a pain at the moment. Only really because the bolts supplied were too long. Otherwise probably would have been fine. Could probably wrap them next month once I get paid.

Digging through some old paperwork that came with the car and found a dyno printout. Thought I may as well stick it up here.

Gave the car a wash today then went and took some pics. Only had my mobile and they came out pretty crap.

Unfortunately yesterday I tried to squeeze through too small a gap between a car and a rather high granite kerb. The kerb won.

I'm not too worried though as the paint was already flaking off so they needed a refurb. Just means tyres will be going on the D90s and I'll be running them for a while whilst the superturismos get sorted.

Mate, that sucks.. But at least we get to see the D90's on the car... How is the b00st keeping you occupied.. You still happy with smashing chavs in corsa's?

 

[ndbrgr]

Chavs in corsas, reps in their Audis and BMWs that think they own the road. Just not unmarked police white skoda octavia estates.

 

[JordanMk3]

Haha!! That would be unwise...

Did you mount the TRS tow bar where standard one vil be mounted?What sort off bolt did you use?

 

[ndbrgr]

I did yeah. I used a bolt adapter from Regal Autosport. It's just a cut down standard tow bar, with a thread in it for the strap.

 

[ndbrgr]

Washed the car today, quick pic.

Whilst washing it I noticed someone must have gotten too close to it. All the marks line up with each other. (Pictures were taken during during cleaning)

Pic of the rear SHOULD polish off.. provided its only transfer. Front will need a touch up pen... and the bumper scuff just gives you an excuse to colour code it Looks sweet as though. Very nice when its clean

 

[JordanMk3]

I agree.. Looks very nice!! I love the fly-eyes kit.. Makes it loook soooo much meaner... Ever thought about yellow flyeyes for the spots/fogs... On a black car it looks MINT!

Ewww, not flyeyes, they look gross. I've got lamin-x, its smooth. I did think about it, but I just tinted them black with left overs from my headlights instead.

I'm saving up for a respray, from a distance the paint looks good, but up close its had it. The boot has serious orange peel, there's several cases of bird poo stains through the lacquer, and the front end is peppered in chips. Also the paint is chipping off the skirts and showing red underneath. Going to get the front bumper smoothed like HoocHs old one when it goes in and the rear bump strip colour coded.

 

[joehirth]

Nice idea, be good to see the outcomes. How much are you looking to spend on the respray?

 

[ndbrgr]

Haven't looked into it properly yet, but expecting at least a couple of grand. My dad is paying 1k to have his classic mini completely resprayed.

Oh, and tyres go on the D90s tomorrow, full set of T1Rs.
