Yep

Well i had 2 guys after them straight away and when i said to 1 he was going to miss out, he offered to pay more than the asking lol. Fine with me

Yep, keeping the 185's as they should clear the arches nicely and not be overly stretched

Looks like i could be going Inters rolling on my daily wheels, My brand new 1.5in lips may not make it here from germany in time

Found an awesome pic by Icy on edition

Love this car mate

Looks awesome Havent spoke to you since you came and picked up that engine, but it sounded good as you went off out of the farm

Think i need someone to video the car so i know what it sounds like too lol

lookin good lee, can't beat a nice bit of dish

Whoop, Good news. My 1.5in lips have arrived from germany today


Wont be going to tonights meet now as i going to build all 4 wheels up so i can get the tyres refitted, ride height sorted and retracked at tinklers tomorrow before they close at 12.

120 bolts all done up and torqued to 22lbs.ft

Not long come in from finishing the sealer off so it cures ready for tyre fitment in the morning

good stuff, what sealent you use? and thought RM/OZ was 18ft/lbs?

Just cheap silicone sealer which says clear on the side but for some reason is white . It had to do though.

Turbo's are nut and bolt aint they so they wont be same as RM setting but tbh, i just went with a happy medium setting so they dont feckin leak lol

Ah i didnt know that, thought they was like RMs Yeah wont do any harm, hope theyre alright m8

Going to look sweet to save me trawling Lee are they going polished or black? I know we talked at dc about it but for the life of me i cant remember what you said

Haha no probs chris. They polished as it would be sacrilege to paint brand new lips

I Got the tyres fitted and balanced today thanks to tinklers letting me use there gear. The sealer was still tacky though so as soon as the beads popped on, i let the air out.

I've left them like that all day in the sun so the sealer has as much time to cure before i fit them on the car. I may even fit them in the morning.

that looks so sick man!

looks so much better now Lee, strip it all out now
