much prefer the str wheels than those bbs wheels danny

[colm_mcm]

I wouldn't in with white wheels cv all. Anthracite would be way nicer. Something less angular too.

+1

anthracite/gunmetal is the way to go. White wheels on a white car is pants. Both those rims are nice if specced in an aggressive offset in the right colour.

took her out last night for its first test drive
heres some quick pics after her first run.still have to fit front strut bar and fit skirts anf chrome bits



also can i ask what does your mivec idle at.? iv found since the job i need to keep idle over 1000 rpm or when i turn on lights,heater fan and rad fan kicks in idle drops to 500-600 rpm and eng light comes on which makes it go i limp mode and mivec turns off.so iv it idleing at around 1200rpm until i check earths and thing. do they normaly idle this high

[Danny Kierans]

oh ya put the bbs look on but still unsure

[TopCat]

Oh my, I like, a lot! And I'm not normally pushed on white alloys, buy I'm liking the overall look. Looking forward to seeing this car in the flesh.

[Danny Kierans]

[Muad_dib77]

I like the top ones...

but then I'd prefer a set of Evo Enkeis over those again..
If you've money to spend - I'd consider the Oz ultra leggera

[Danny Kierans]

Nice one, want to put a de-cat on mine cause I'm sick of being environmentally friendly. And they're a bit pricey as new so a second hand one would do nicely if you're getting rid of yours.

update on the old girl.
done the headlamp thing.


and removed the whole rear surspention and replaced all the bushing,inc.rear shock top mounting and all the rubber bushings and caps like on camskill kit.and sparyed the coil spring blue to make it go faster of course.also replaced all trailing arm bushings,2 rear drop links,anti roll bar bushing were done in polly above,rear wishbone bushings inner and outer and replaced all camber bolts. which had to be cut out not funny at all. and the 2 lower dog bone arms which was the real problem.




and this is the bit of pipe which makes the hks drager back box fit my fto.which all have to go some time.the car is quieter with no back box on.bloody thing.


just going to test the tps now. and meet gerard hopefully the week end.

[colm_mcm]

How did you get the dog bone bolts out? Tried on Keiths scrap one before, cut the bodywork off, tried drilling it out etc. Aluminium on the bush fuses with the bolt.
Then the guy that was looking for the part says he doesn't want it anymore

[Dragonheart]

Did you find it tough to do the suspension stuff Danny? Its something I want to do to mine and not sure if firstly it can be done without a hoist or garage lift, or secondly if a novice like myself should go at it. Also roughly how long do you think it would take to do? I read that the bushes are tricky to do even though relatively easy, that its just access can be a pain.

i had it on the lift in my work shop.so removed everything shocks,trailing arm and clear opening to all bolts.there is four camber bolts on mine 2 were fused.i tried everything gear puller with 3 ton pressure after 3 days of rust killer and wd40 did not do a thing. i had to get an eletic saw like this.
http://www.airtekltd.com/gison_8.htm .and no joke took me about 1.5 hours of cutting for each side of the bolt and on 1 side u will have to cut through the bushing inner steel ring to. in total about 6 hours for 2 god dame bolts.i was driven mad.they must be hardened steel they dont cut easy.
