pics of my new wheels fitted up guys, let me know what you think although obviously you'll all have a better look tomorrow!

oz monoblocks???

yum.

Looked at these 3mths ago as they really stood out for me, nice choice. Only think that put me off was offset as they may not clear brembos

 

[Forbez]

Why change the RSD one tom? Just for looks? I'd rather have the RSD imo.

I just been out messing, moved the take off for the boost gauge and ripped of the plastic **** thats on the fuel rail. Looks a lot tidier as well. Gonna whip my strut brace off soon so i can get it chrome plated.



Mike, any luck with that washer bottle mate?

Changing it for the Forge tip, as i think that would give an improvement over the RSD one. But we'll see, i tend not to ever sell anything i take off a car!
**mk3 fiesta pop out windows for sale**

So i could put it back on if it hinders performance.



Nice wheels dave!


Hmm, think i'll be along tonight, but wont be there for long, got loads of stuff on at the moment.
Thermalp, you want me to bring those hoses with me tonight?

Gotta sort out my windscreen wipers tonight, and me feckin brakes are squeaking! Think i may bit the bullet and get Brembo's! Any one know how much more clearance you need over standard for the brembo's?

 

[davidol]

my front right caliper is squeeking too, it looks like ive got a stone trapped in it on closer inspection, im going to give it a go at stripping off the pads on tuesday and then remove the stone or replace the pads depending on if there is any damage

mike the wheels are OZ records, they have a high offset so i doubt they'd clear brembos to be honest

 

[acidstrato]

wot u do with the leggeras dave?

 

[Forbez]

They are for sale, check his siggy.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

You still with the previous plan of running 2 sets of rims one set with 888's for track/strip use?
Just dropped car to Westec, only 5 or 6 things to be sorted lol

 

[Daz_gibbo]

To slow...Go on Carl, you know you want too! You could make half of that back for your standard rims!

 

[davidol]

they are for sale karl....you interested? details in my signature, I was going to keep them as daz has said but i cant really afford it at the moment and im happy with the look of the records so I'd rather sell them and then replace the tyres on the records with the money ive saved when the tyres wear down!

 

[acidstrato]

lol mine have got less than 800 miles on the toyos though...they cost me more than id get for my wheels lol... plus i could never afford them, let alone 2 new tyres to be fitted

once fmic is done then il look at wheels...could be a while

 

[acidstrato]

keep me updated with how u get on with selling them...lets just say if u dont get much genuine interest then depending how long they stay in ur possession they could become mine

but by sounds of it u want rid quick and i just can afford to at the mo

 

[Forbez]

I really like the look of them on phil's car, look nice on a blue car!

And i believe brembo's fit them?

 

[PhilW]

5mm spacers on the front for brembos on super l's.



Daz i need your reg. plate for the payment of the rolling road day.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Hey, don't diss the leggera on a red car!

 

[davidol]

i think im going to become a wheel ***** and work my way through a few sets! I do need rid reasonably quickly to be honest karl!

whats the damage on the rolling road day phil, where and when too?

 

[PhilW]
