You would only be looking a the back anyway,So I wouldn't worry to much about how good the Hatch looks LOL So what car did you say you drive?? All you Hatchback owners stand up a show off this great car ;-) cheers All.....Ian

 

Hobbymaster: dont go telling everyone how good they are as it will just start making all the chavs buythem lol

 

The chavs can't afford one

 

I know there has been some doubt over directional tyres on the hatch but has anyone used Toyo T1R's, they seem to be really good value, around £550 a set (+fitting etc)!

 

Everytime i see those pics you make me want some +ET35 Speedlines

Anybody want some 330s wheels so i can justify the change to the wifey??

 

I'm still thinking about spacers to push the wheels out, 20mm should do it nicely! Comment on the safety of them???? They are available in 15, 20,22,25 and are far cheaper than a full set of wheels but the end result looks the same. Cheers Ian

 

I have no problem with spacers or the safety of them (recognised manufacturer and hubcentric such as Eibach and H+R). I was thinking of trying a 15mm one with the 330s wheels but i'd have to change to longer studs (bolt on ones such as the CDF Racing ones are min 20mm) which look like a PITA to change.

 

Cheers buddy, I really was not sure if they would suit the car being such a classic wheel, always loved them on the hawk and just had to take a punt, v.happy I did now, best mod so far IMO.

Pop ScoobyL a pm, he had 20mm spacers on his hatch and worked quite closely with a CDF to get them right as his initial set did not fit.

 

You'll need to get the alignment re-adjusted post fitment.. Mine was like a dog after.

Once fitted (piece of cake to fit, just need a socket set for the spacer lugs) there was slightly more tram-lining but very sure footed.

I checked the lugs every 2 weeks but they never came lose...

Looks wise it was way better.

 

Mine is a tad lower so I reckon I'd have problems with 35o/s.


Current favourite is the Arcasting 18 x 9" (!) Iain L fitted to his latest Hatch. Look really good. Must find out what o/s......

 

A bit of topic, but its more busy here than the hatch forum

Do any of you know if the 330S navigation unit will play MP3's on a DVD?
I was just thinking that you could get absolutely load of them on a DVD.

 

After a disastrous start to hatch ownership when my engine let go within the 2nd month , I now have the car finally as I want it.

Parts have been sourced either via the forums or overseas, and all for under £300 !!

Future plans maybe a remap when the warranty’s out



Front lip & grill


Tints


Splash guards

Boost gauge

iPhone mount

 

They do sit nicely in the arches now... was the car on standard suspension in those pics?

Maybe i'll look into the CDF stuff a little closer then, save me changing the studs with the bolt ons.

 

Yes standard suspension, I was planning to upgrade the suspension but sold the car 1st.

 

LOL thats why I didn't want to go for classic again... you get the 'wrong type' buying £1500 cars




I'm thinking of getting a £25 Mp3 player and connecting up with the RYW connections, then the Vid can go through the screen.

Dr jim, what boost gauge and mount is that, looks like it arches the dash nicely.

Cars looking good by the way.

 

The pod is a subaru lamco pod mount that i got second hnd of here, modified with a dremel to fit one of these

what you mean the section of society that did the work to actually build this country but for whom there is no place in the modern parasitic (fake) economy? Yes you're probably right.

 

dr jim : cars looking good, nice colour too, not seen many - had considered that colour as it was close to the RB5

 

It's been on PH for a few weeks also Mark & dropped a £1000 since first offered for sale!

Been watching the sales closely for months and seriously thought about it for myself.

Instead i went for this 330s, picking her up tomorrow too & cant wait...... as i was saying Phil aka salsa king i feel your pain lol

 

 

Salsa & StirkeE

Sleep well tonight, and enjoy tomorrow

Cheers 330S owners

Shaun

StrikE

very nice bushiwarrior - got any plans for mods?

Bushiwarrior, good colour choice!
