Almost! Just back from alignment bit of a win and loss, Initial set up was laughable, toe out on the rear passenger side and toe in on rear driver side! For epic roundabout sides y0 LOL! Wallace were really good talked through all that they were doing but just couldn't get it fully set up due to...
Cheers for the comments guys.
Jack, its shetland, of course im bored lol!
Gaz, I think it would have been a tougher decision to get rid of the steels if they weren't stupidly wide. 9j was just silly and you lost alot of fun by having almost too much grip. Tbf for doing track days as well the...
Yer that's the plan to get the roof gloss and the boot lid back to silver eventually. Hmm, i've not seen any with colour coded arches other than black on black. May have to do a bit of research but i'm not so sure. Happy to be proven wrong if i see it lol.
Cheers John! More than welcome for a passenger run.#
Fair comment Rob. It was a downgrade as it helped me free up some cash I needed at the time, plus I wanted a bit more of a project car to tinker with and this is living up to that! Arches are a bit of a marmite addition, personally I think it...
Its about time i updated this ...
Since I last updated this I bit the bullet and had these turn up at my flat :D XXR 527 15x8.25
Unfortunately I was away with work so had to wait a few week untill i could get my hands on them and get them fitted!
As soon as i was back we set about getting...
The 5's booked into wallace performance next week for alignment to finally get rid of the ridiculous camber so it might actually go straight through corners! lol
I'll be tehre got mates up from surrey who want to come along so i'll easy park with folk if we are doing a stand. At least have 1 jap/RWD car there ;)
Haha to space those wheels to fill the arches they would need to be 60mm at least! Thats a fair size spacer lol. Low offset to start and then less spacer needed :)
Haha yer the track will be going wider one way or another! Ive got a mate who's said he can make me up some bolt on spacers when i need so just get the size I need at the time!
Unfortunatly the offset is miles high, would need stupid spacers to make them work! lol. Look nice tho.
Cheers John no doubt will be, after wednesdays nights antics i dont think it'll be until i've got new wheels and tyres. Those ones were hilariously bad!
I almost bought a set of OZ Ultraleggeras off ebay but the offsets were really high. Any wheels I get need to have as low offset as possible the fronts on atm are 8j 0et as far as im aware, and look how much they still need spacing!
I like grids but you see so many with them, I've only seen one...
Cheers mate, you know how it is start with small plans and they just grow and grow!
Yep thinking XXR 527. Also looked at XXR 002 but just not fully sold on the look seem more stance style than track car! Thought of the standard rota's as well but open to idea all the same!
Right its been an age and as usual the 'it only needs this done' statement soon grew to 'oh s**t what have i bought!', so apologies for the mammoth pic heavy update!
So when i got the car i knew that there would be body repairs as the mx5 sill rot had taken hold but the extent of this wasn't...
I'll be down and on track! Had the 5 on track for the first time tonight, all went well apart from a caliper bolt shearing lucky it wasnt under hard braking and crawled back to pits but will be an easy fix for Sunday!
