Should have taken it straight away. That's not good at all.
I do know of an sti with the same fault as that last one.

If I can get hold of him and make a deal I'll let you know.

It's sub £2k so a bargain.

The Nankang tyres are a less common performance rubber but still good quality,A few of my friends use them and swear by them as a very good tyre for road and track.I might have to give them a try myself.SJ.

Well it's time for a little update.
Been building parts upon parts and it's slowly coming together.

Cage is due tomorrow.
Disks, bells and pads due next week once they have been machined.
Wheels are in being coated in The Wheel Specialist, Swansea. Tyres should be fitted once done.
Also managed to find another set of Speedline Turini so once the first set return the second set can go to be coated. In white I think?? It looks lovely lol.

So some pics for you.





Should be a big transformation soon.

If you could get the car up to mine then I can do it, I was a coded welder/fabricator for 22 years previous to what I'm doing now and I installed and welded up the cage in Power Stations Time Attack hawk that you see on their web site so you'll have a tidy job done

Seat rails are no problem, never done jack tubes but I cant see that being an issue, I would need the stands for the diameter of the tube. If you want to have a chat about it then let me know and I'll pm you my number

Default The new wheels ish

Well yesterday I had my Speedlines back from the Wheel Specialist Swansea, and all I can say is wow.

Went for a bronze finish in a certain colour and he came up trumps and found the exact colour.

They seem to change colour and the photos do them no justice at all.

As for the Nankang's well, I'm blown away. Even without the upgrades to the suspension they have transformed the car.
I must bare in mind that they are the race compound and a little like chewing gum lol.

Thanks Daz.

Really like the high profile tyres too. Fills the arch a lot better and I don't need to lower it too much either, allows for my **** end happy characteristics lol.
