15x8, but lip to lip they really 15x9 et +15

so 15x8 then

wheel are measured from inside bead not lip to lip

........ and are dangerous as fcuk...

can't argue wiv da scene... they just pull the "I only drive gently" card

because if I said I only drove gently on bald tyres it'd be OK

 

[Fl@pper]

must admit it looks fine to me thats looks as in style - i just cant see it being ideal on an SC motor

stretched tyres has been argued to death to be honest but $5 says you'll want a decent (normal) setup about 2 mins after you hit torque steer in 3rd

 

[Chrisdaman]

yeh i'm not going for a ridiculous stretch, 195/45s will do, slight stretch, dont wnana kill myself, the engine will do that for me lol

 

[craig87]

so how much has been spent on the superchaarging then??

Lol i said i wouldnt do anything to the engine but im looking into it!! Ive got a 8v and i want roughly 170bhp id be happy with what do peeps reckon would be the best way to get this (and the cheapest!)

errr...swap it for a 16v or a mk3 T

 

[craig87]

try finding a 16v engine!!! And mk3 t requires more than just engine id have to change dash also, plus im not a mechanic so dont know how hard it would be for me t do it myself lol!

 

[Chrisdaman]

buy a G60 engine

mk2 golf and mk3 golf GTi engines fit mate, a couple on edition now

VR6?

 

[ibizacupra]

the keskins i had were et0 and were fine, so et+15 should be good

you saying you had ET0, 8x15 rims and cleared the arches?
was it not lowered at all then?

 

[craig87]

but when you do engine transplant dont you need new gearbox, wiring loom and dash?

yes probably but try being a little bit realistic in what you 'need' or 'would like' from an 8v & then we won't rip you to bits

 

[craig87]

lol i didnt expect to get that power from the 8v i was asking what my options where!!!

 

[Chrisdaman]

you saying you had ET0, 8x15 rims and cleared the arches?
was it not lowered at all then?

it rubbed a tiny bit on hard corners, that was it, it wasnt as low as it is now though, and i never had people in the back

 

[jenk]

Craig keep the 8v and charge that, thats my plan if i get another mk2.

need to go for a lie down

 

[jenk]

These purple ones dont seem to rub

 

[Chrisdaman]

jenk just buy your old one back

 

[craig87]

thats why i asked how much it costs to charge?? Have you got a parts list???

 

[Chrisdaman]

but when you do engine transplant dont you need new gearbox, wiring loom and dash?

nah you dont need a new dash mate, and usually most engines come with a gearbox

all the 16v boxes fit each anyway

i've spent about £1800 on parts for this charging, all been a case of "might as well" cos it's affecting every part of the car, brakes, exhaust, engine parts (cam belt, head gaskets) and i've got another £700 to go yet
