They look great Matt, AR1s will be my next tyre i think. :)

This. Unfortunately you've next to no hope of proving whos at fault. I hate diamond cut wheels for this exact reason. Had my Mini GP wheels done and then put them in the garage till i sold it.

Those wheels are finished with whats known as a "diamond cut face, where the finish is cut back on a lathe to bare aluminium that is then lacquered. Thus giving you the high lustre finish on the face. The clear coat has been punctured and moisture has gotten in to the bare alloy causing it to go...

It ought to be, its doing 33% less work for a start ;)

They have their place... just knowing when they’re required. 😏

The PW TMIC seems to run out of efficiancy around the 430bhp area from what ive seen. As long as the skirt is fitting well from the bonnet scoop it will be fine. You can go FMIC but for that power i probably wouldnt bother unless you have a custom RS500 style one made up. So many of them are...

Had a long love affair with a bugeye STI. Great bit of kit and look better as the years go by.

Nice work chap. Host of nice little but worthy improvements really lift the car. 👍🏼

Had it off again tonight as I had a pair of Ktec/Vibratechnics mounts to fit anyway. Found no witness marks at all on the underside of the sump guard but I did find of the bolts that hold the linkage protection plate was polished on the top. It was just touching the large M12 bolt head that...

I know the difference between something that’s right and wrong though chap, and there was deffo something not quite right. 🙂

Most severe on idle, pulling away at low rpm and oddly increases with low speed steering lock, but i think thats the PAS putting load on the motor to be honest. It feels like ive just put a very very stiff set of engine mounts on. Im gonna have it off again tonight and tripple check for fouling...

Oi, you leave my tool collection out of this. :p

Bloody bolt nipped up in the RivNut Rob. Then spun the insert as i tried to undo it. Grrrrrr. I'll live without it, as the other 6 million bolts should cope! :LOL:

All, Guessing this will mostly be the rally/race guys and chances are you wouldnt be able to tell anyway due to the nature of your vehicles use. But ive just fitted a PMS sumpguard to my road car, its not fauling the engine or transmission, yet ive a significant increase in cabin vibration...

Something I’ve been after for a while is a PMS sump guard. I’m always mindful that the car is pretty low and when pressing on in the back of my mind about catching the underside on something. Luckily one came up on eBay in good condition a few weeks back, so ordered new M8 RivNuts from Nick @...

Proper, love a car when it looks properly used. Looks like a fantastic trip Ash :)

Drop me a PM with your address, I’ll put one in the post to you.

2118s cleaned and ready to be sold. I’ll miss these as frankly, they look the business. 😎

Can you make it to C&M on saturday? I'll bring one haha

Cheers guys. Offset on them is ET38. Rears have a 10mm axle spacer and the fronts have a 10mm slip on spacer. I may drop the front spacers to 5mm to see if it improves the steering again. If it’s negligible I’ll keep the 10mm. The front also has an additional 5mm due to the roll centre hubs.

Superb job dude. Looking really nice :)

Hahah, some people would pay handsomely for "5 whole pages of dicking you know" :D Ive only driven it back from Ruislip and into work so im really only going on first impressions. There are some country lanes near me with some quite agressive undulations, if you drive them *cough* briskly, you...

I'll apologise unreservedly for the frankly obsurd amount of dicking about over wheels.

So the lunacy continues as i made the 3 hour round trip over to see Rich @ Ruislip Tyres today to get the EVOs fitted. Exceptional service as always from him taking the upmost care in everything he does. If you're over that way i can highly reccommend him, as a good tyre fitter is like golddust...

Which is still too much if you want it to drive nicely IMO. But having done what youre wanting to do and formed an opinion and thrown said spacers away, all i can go on is my experience. Still opinions are like arseholes, everyones got one.

They drive crap on anything more than 10mm. If you cant run 10s on the Turinis which you cant, just get 5s and be happy :)

Personally id go longer, chnaces are they wont bottom out with an additional 2mm anyway.

Just watched that video.. i can seem my Snap On hex/Torx bits up for sale already.

Wheels, dampers, remap and DCT trans only. I genuinely googled it because I wanted to know. I’m a car enthusiast and even I can barely tell the difference between them. Dull as dishwater. In fact I think you won this thread spotting it in the first place. 😂
