Thanks mate, I have your PM and working on the reply need to get the paperwork out and see what I ordered,

 

We have progress,

Trails, I win! My car has had something done to it, I bet yours still hasnt!!!!

 

Good choice J there superb tyres.SJ.

 

Thanks, they should definitely do the trick I reckon!

 

Can't wait to see them on the car

 

Nor me!

Then to start cutting the arches out to suit!

Have to say the service from TarmacSportz in supplying the wheels, and Hatton Energy Motorsport in doing the tyres etc has been top notch. Nice to see some good companies that are as passionate about the parts as we are, not just in it to make money, but because they love it as much as we do!

 

Hahahaha correct...struggling to source that bloody bracket still

Tyre choice is a bit old hat though I've had them on my 182 for months...lovely rubber to drive on

 

Lets hope so! Still waiting on my turbo, so at least I will have time to get the arches done!

 

Might try get the sub frames off this weekend for some powder coating I think!

Will also fit my nice shiny blue powder coated bits I think ( pics earlier in the thread)

 

nice tyres them eh j

 

They are looking pretty fine Matt Whos the handsome beast who fitted em? Probably should get him a pint....

 

Turbo will be here monday!

Last drag racing event of the season is the 11th october, alot to do int hat time!

Tidy the workshop so i can get to the car.....

Install turbo
Install new clutch plates
Install Gearbox
Cut Arches
Fit ABW arches

 

Adapters should be ordered by the end of today....

 

Adapters are on the way for the wheels.

Chris at CDF got back to me very quickly and I do apologise for hassling him!

So they should be here by the end of play next week, turbo will be here monday, and then we have our work cut out getting the rest of the car in shape for the drag event on the 11th!

Phonecalls to engine tuner and lots of favours been called in are imminent!

 

Those wheels look trick dude. Very nice.

 

Thanks, wish I had your ffabrication skills to deal with my arches that need cutting out and welding....! I can do the plasma cutter and grinding but its putting it back together which scares me!

 

 

Oohhhh what a tease lol

 

I want those wheels, I can only dream of having wheels that wide on my classic...

And come on open the box... Open open open!!!

 

They are only 9j! Its the -10 offset that might be az issue!

Will get pics of box contents in the morning or is safe to say it is hoooooooge

 

No. No Waiting until the morning. Now please

 

I wish i could! I took it to the workshop and forgot to get pictures 😞

 

 

Im not jealous.. Not jealous at all..

 

Good! wouldn't want that now!

All been fitted tomorrow!

 

Size of that disco potato!

Looking good pal

 

Thanks mate, it should do the trick....

Off to fit it now

 

New clutch is in, gearbox is fitted complete and everything apart from the h brace is all bolted in place.

It seems I have lost the nut from the chassis to the lower arm on one side so I need to get a new one.

Anyone got one going spare?

To do is an oil change, fit the turbo and exhaust...

Wheels are back with me and the spacers should be here tomorrow from CDF!

 

Ohhh so close now mate

 

Its getting there!
Had a couple of issues last night the slave cylinder has shat its self so that now needs replacing and obviously loosing the nut off the lower arm is a ballache.

Tonight/tomorrow morning I am going to look at getting the turbo built up andd fitted, hopefully I can get a slave cylinder today too and get that swapped over tomorrow and the box filled with oil!
