Yeah, i dont normally like 3 spoke wheels, but these just look so JDM! lol
Havnt started this already because i cant really do anything until the scooby sells :( Most parts have sold from it, wheels (swapped them for the monza's shown above), coilovers (car left with seized D2 jobbies), loud...
So plans are to keep this clean, retro JDM. Got lots of plans, and know exactly how i want it to look, but ive got to sell the scooby before i can start doing this properly! Nothing else will be happening until the old girl has sold :'(
Plans are:
Fit advan wheels
Replace gay chrome bar with a...
But before i can fit these wheels, im just going to spray my current wheels satin black....as it looks less gay than silver.
This means that the old steelies from the clio are coming out temporarily! The red clashed with the yellow, so decided to spruce them up a bit and spray them O So JDM...
Originally planned on getting either some Rota Grid V's or the new Rota BM8.....however ive had a change of heart, and decided that i want to do this properly and not get another set of fake wheels.
....so ive just bought these:
Set of Advan a3a's. 14"x7 ET 0.....and with adaptors this...
Right, back again for my 3rd project car.
Decided to go for an oldskool JDM theme, as thats what this car is all about!
Car is a 1991 Mk1 Mazda Eunos Roadster.....J-Ltd version :cool:
From the advert for the car, assumed that it was pretty much standard (excpet the gay wheels) but found...
I am :)
Well if anyone can find me a set of Hayashi's in 15"x8 or 15"x9 PDC 4x100 and for less than £1000 then ill of course get genuine. But seeing as ive never seen a set come up for sale, let alone in the specs that i want, its going to be on Rota's. Dont even think Hayashi's came in 4x100...
Scoob not sold yet :(
Going for Rota BM8 15x9 et0 (i know their rota's but i dont give a fcuk!)
Healthy drop
Bride seats (graduation material)
Takata harnesses (if i can afford them lol)
Maybe a custom boso exhaust, if not then just a normal aftermarket one
Rollcage maybe
Dont want to go...
Picked the yellow eunos up today! 300 mile trip to get it, but so worth it :D Love it to drive, and already got some epic plans to make it retro JDM :)
Will start a project thread for it when i get some pics :)
Yeah was going to swap, but other las couldnt get insured on the scooby. Selling the scooby now, either 3k complete or 1500 standard and then got my eye on another one ;)
Its a 1991 J-Ltd version. 1 of only 800 ever made and only sold in japan!! Completely mint, 77, 000 miles (low for a 20...
Yeah got plans for it ;) But im trying not to think about it too much incase it doesnt go through. Dont want to get my hopes up and then for it to all fall through.
Yeah it would be a laugh, but ive got to have just a lil bit of practicality. As long as i can get over the speedbumps on my way...
yeah and i thought the clio and scooby were low!!
Trying not to get too excited about it, but will be amazingly excited about getting it! Should hear back from his insurance today, so should know later today :)
Lad came round last night and had a good look round it. Only thing that is slightly putting me off is how low it is (never thought id say that!) but the underbody was scraping on cats eyes, man hole covers and a very slight bump on the road leading to my house, never noticed it before!
Theres...
Yeah was Nath's, then he traded it for Andy's saxo (in Fastcar next month) and im getting it from him :)
Going to view it tommorow evening :) cant wait!
Unsure of value of scooby to be honest. I payed £1600 for it, and spent just over a grand at a quick guess. Mazda, hes looking for 2500 for it so about right i guess.....and hes gonna give me £200 aswell :)
Its only a 1.6 but this doesnt bother me at all because it should be better on fuel...
Oh yeah thats the first thing id do, shortly before splitting the wheels and powdercoating centers hi power silver :)
Think its a good idea then? Ive wanted one since i had the clio so think its a good oppurtunity. Not looking to sell the scooby but think its too good an oppurtunity to pass up!
Oh yeah id say its worth it, amazing wheels for the money....but its money i just dont have at the moment :( Wish i had a full time job :(
Tom, sorry for exploding lol. I agree that they're not my first choice of wheel, but i definatly prefer them to the RC's.
I tthink its something...
Been looking at them for months now, but cant afford them :( That price is before shipping from Japan. I worked it out couple months ago and it came to nearly £1000 with shipping and everything included :(
??? Who said anything about getting splits for the sake of getting splits??? This is what pisses me off about cliosport, i buy replica's and i get a roasting for that (justified)....but then i buy genuine BBS's and i get peopple saying "your only getting them for the sake of it....." For f***s...
