Amazing what a simple wheel swap can do to the cars appearance. The Turinis are beautiful but just lost in gloss black. Sounds daft but black wheels were notch at common when I did them.
I put black wheels on my Escort GTi in 2002 when I was 18. I never saw another car with black wheels...
I think ultimately the best setup all round for looks and performance is 10mm front and rear. When the RCK hubs go on, I may drop to a 5mm spacer up front.
Me too mate. Can’t wait to get out.
You wait, we will have sun thoughout this whole shut in. Soon as we are allowed out, it’ll piss down 😂
It’s worn gloss black Turinis since 2012. I think she’s due a change.
Depending on height, spacers and offset, I found my Turinis scrubbing on full lock...
Today’s job,
Fit PMS rear spacers and wheel stud/nut kit. Also decided now the suns coming out to get my summer wheels on. Yes they’re doing “driveway durability testing” at the mo. But they have confirmed 100% that I’m done with black wheels. My Turinis will get a colour change at some point...
In what way?
It’s a foam filter in a carbon box. Lol.
is it worth £400? I guess ITG have to charge for their development time I guess. No ideas what it does for performance other than a bit of engine bay eye candy. Sound is okay but not as loud as a Ktec.
fitment is questionable at best. You...
Electrics I didn’t cover but was just mindful not to soak them. Basically just exercise some common sense around them and you’ll be fine.
Washer bottle I filled with bleach and hot water and left for a few hours. Got bottle brushes and wheel Woolies in there to try and scrub as much as I could...
Don’t get me wrong, I’m far from an expert on it. But mainly because I ran one in my car for 4 years after doing the big power build and it was flawless. This was in Syvecs early days but now they power many of the fastest tuner vehicles in the world.
Not cheap, but a bargain compared to...
Use a Syvecs S6 and Im sure you could have a loom adapter made. Then it would be plug & play.
I used to run Injector Dynamics ID1000s in my impreza and it started, idled and drove like a standard car. In fact due to the resolution of the calibration available it was better than a standard car...
Ever considered upgrading the ECU to a Syvecs and running a flex fuel sensor?
You could run a mix of meth in tank and allow the ECU to control the calibration?
Switchable maps on the fly, LC, ALS, Rolling ALS. Your options and flexibility with it are almost infinitely adaptable.
Run active...
So, remember the roll centre hubs that looked like they had been at the bottom of Davy Jones Locker?
Let me refresh your memory...
Well after a heap of work, wire brushing, glass blasting etc.
They arrived back from zinc coat this morning. Once built I think these have come out pretty tidy...
As for protecting areas from corrosion, check the products from Bilt Hamber. That’s what I use and have done for years.
Deox gel - Heavy rust remover
Hydrate 80 - Light rust converter
Electrox - Very high zinc content anti corrosive primer.
Dynax UB - Dark brown calcium wax underseal that...
Youre right with me my man 👌🏼
Already ordered a new bottle and a new Nissen rad so I’ll refresh the lot while I’m there.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what I have but makes sense to me to renew it all at the same time.
