I'm pretty sure that's the first positive thing you've said on this thread tom

I'm just hoping they won't have "too much" poke for me to run. If there is way to much then I'm going to have to go down the route of either re-drilling my hubs or welding and re-drilling my wheel centres. if there is only a little bit I'll just get 15mm adaptors.

f**k me i did read that right they are done. they are utterly gorgeous dude

swapsies?

i would of mate but judging by your sig you wouldn't ever rock 17's, so no deal

ah i just realised you changed yours, bellend get them on mann see Robs thread. We need to make him buy either

The peer pressure has to stop, I cant afford either for a long time!

The cheaper of the two Tom said he's gonna run on it so no chance

Can't wait to see the wheels on the car dude, looking swishhhhhhhh

this will look awesome max !

Right I've finally got the tyres on. My mate Dale got a new tyre machine at his work so I thought I'd try and save a few bob on getting the tyres fitted up there rather then CPT.

Cut a long story short it was easy as pie. The first one was a b***h to get on but the others slid on like a glove. After putting new O rings on the valves and got them all balanced up it was time for the trial fit (no pictures I'm afraid) to our amazement the backs actually fitted! But the fronts were way off.

So heres the plan, get rid of the 25mm adapters (already got a buyer on edition) get some customs 20mm for the rears and 15mm for the front. Whilst those are being made up I'll get on the arch rolling and scrap my front plastic inners, give everything a good coat of under seal and sort out the rust on the drivers side wing thats been annoying me for ages. By the time the adapters get here it will all ready to just bolt them on. Hows that for a slice of fried gold!

Sorry for the mass of writing lads, here are a few pictures.

The work shop at hand, and my mates plate that I must have!



One on 3 to go.


Not a vast amount of stretch, just right in my opinion

what size tyres did you go for m8? maybe dial abit of camber on the front to tuck the top of the wheel in abit?

Ive got a proper arch roller, you can rent for the weekend to roll and flare you fronts if ya want?

215/45 all round. I was thinking the same thing mate, I think H&R do a front camber set up for mk4s that gives you up to 1 degree of camber on the fronts. It rolls in about £120ish but I think I may need it to get the stance right.

Maybe dude, how much are you looking for me to rent it?

Yeah so how you stand with the thinner adaptors and go from there i spose.

People seem to charge £50 a weekend for them, so ill say £45

As much as I love mates rates dude I'm pretty damn skint after lending my mate £400 to get out of some trouble and having to pay for the adapters and everything, I think I'll give it a miss. Cheers though

No worries, you know where i am if you need it.

Na there was steam coming from under his bonnet but it turns out it was just one of his turbos pipes had had the jubilee clip over tightened and had worn through it. Easy fix.

Got bored yesterday so I thought I'd clean up my boot a bit and finally fit the carpet I brought of Charlie at Spring Fest. The guy who owned this before hand ran silly thick wires(0 gauge) all through the car and had left them just hanging there in the boot, that needed to be sorted out.

I also replaced the left hand side panel with the one that has the cover.




much neater in my opinion
