I will be up there with my LY 182 but on a stand with some friends, will pop over and have a look around this tho :) and will keep an eye out for some of you on track!
I think il stick them up on here over the weekend then as they are, let the new owner paint them a colour they want or even run them as they are, would make great track wheels :)
Ive never had any, but looking to purchase some for the summer, I just wanted to hear other peoples opinions who have used them on the same car as me before doing so :)
Interested to see what you make of the RSR's mate, see if we can finally clear up the mess about why there are some cheaper than others... They are going to look awesome on the car tho, instant aggression!
Yeah, they are non genuine, they don't have the extra little lippy bit lol. I will get some when I can, they aren't refurbed yet, debating to sell as they are and let someone do what they wish with them, or get them painted then sell...
I want to go full strip, 15's etc, entering a local speed championship too me with a race series year after hopefully and don't want to sacrifice this nice example of a LY!
Also has snappy refurbed wheel if that makes a difference, interior is immaculate too, full miltek exhaust from downpipe back, powerflex front arb bushes, inner and outer!
2004 Liquid Yellow 107K Full history, belts done this year by specialist, apex springs, ktec style induction, cup turinis with toyo t1r's, always been serviced and looked after properly! Any ideas?
Yeah I got some good snaps of the track action, il stick them up on here if I get 5 mins :)
When I went to Brands a couple of years back it was loads better! Could go in and out of pitlane etc altho it was nowhere near as busy, would be chaos trying to do that now!
Yes 2 cars is ok, but not 2 cars both costing/worth £3/4k. I could use it occasionally on track and I intend to this year, I just would like to make it a little more track focussed, but driving around places, to and from work in fixed buckets doesn't really appeal to me.
It would still mean 2 cars tho and I cant afford two lots of £300 a year tax plus insurance. I don't have a trailer etc so would want to drive to/from track!
I am worried about writing off a LY, insurance isn't a problem, £300 for a year and id drive it most weekends too id imagine! Just would like a car I can go full on track attack at, stripped etc, don't want to do that too the LY :(
So background,
Ive had 15 cars since I passed my test at the age of 17 (now 23), these vary from MK1 VW Golfs, MK4 Golfs, 306 GTi 6, Audi A4 etc etc.
Had a 172 2 years ago and tbh hated it, it wasn't in the best condition and I picked it up cheap. Ive now had my 182 for 6/7 months and I love...
