Car looks bloody awesome, wheels make it imo, oh and the fact it's a turbo! What coilovers/springs are you on? The front looks spot on height wise...

Cars looking good Tom, how many more miles until she can go for mapping?

Thanks both for the kind words - nice to hear it! @Dr Jekyll I'm in two minds whether I'd go for a black car again, it just gets dirty far too easy and shows the marks - not ideal when you live 7 miles into the country side haha Saying that when it's clean it makes it worth having a Black car...

So this happened... Showing my manly side... by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr

Just to throw a spanner into the works, you can pick 4x PS3's up hell of a lot cheaper than £480 Camskill are selling them at £85 each, so that's £340 for a set - should be able to get them all fitted and balanced for about £10 a wheel Other option is to look at 195's which are £70 each, so...

Top man, that's what I wanted to hear - if someone as simple as a tyre change can throw your tracking out, it's no wonder mines a bit out after all the bits I've changed!

Cheers Lee, I planned to get it aligned anyway Just wanted to double check if there's a chance this could happen, before taking it in for alignment

This is probably a very stupid question, but I've fitted the following today : Changed from Standard 182 Alloys to ET38.5 Turinis, Brand New Michelin PS3's (195's compared to 205's on the old alloys) Stud and Nut Kit 10mm Front Spacers (Non-Hubcentric) 10mm Rear Hub Spacers Driving the car...

Are you on Jon's extra low subframe mounts Dan? If so, how you finding them? I.e. Can you see over the steering wheel haha Joking aside compared to standard seats and on Jon's extra low subframes, these must be a massive difference height wise

Turinis have been refurbed, and brand new Michelin PS3's fitted Was going to go anthracite/gunmetal but everyone does that, and wanted something subtle yet slightly different from the norm Refurbed Alloys by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Really pleased with the colour, the silver sparkle really...

Cheers @dann2707 and @Paul.M, XL version it is for me! Little concerned with the XL version being a bit small for some of my passengers, but if Dan can get away with it for the size women he takes home I should be alright...

Let me know how you find it please Paul! What size did you go for out of interest? I'm a 32" waist, 5'8", but quite broad so unsure which would be best for me...the standard or the XL I'm thinking of buying a XL, trying it and see how I get on, if it's too big I'll just use it as the...

How you finding the Corbeau's Dan? Really quite tempted by some...

I know the feeling Chris, I've got loads I'd like to do go mine, it's just trying to justify the cost haha I've got Cooksport Springs on mine, and I really rate them - although I'm tempted by some B14's just for them extra lows, but makes me wonder if it's worth £600 just to drop it down an...

Just read the whole thread and I take my hat off to you, such a mint car just made better by the turbo conversion Seriously unlucky with the problem, but I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end How you getting on with the run in period?

Any reason for the sale Joe? Fancy a change? I've got to drop you a PM reference Mini's actually, I'll fire it over later once I'm on the computer

Actually, I've forgotten the biggest update of them all!!! Untitled by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr She's now just ticked over the 50,000 mark - has done 8,000 miles in my ownership and has been absolutely trouble free with no issues, hopefully the next 8,000 will be the same!

So a little update, along with some new goodies for the car; Whiteline Rear ARB, bought one brand new as couldn't find one secondhand Untitled by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr Untitled by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr And all fitted : DSC_4932 by Jimbob_2705, on Flickr DSC_4942 by Jimbob_2705, on...

What polarised wheel bolts do people recommend?

No worries buddy, I was just p*ssed off that you had managed to own me so much Haha

Don't think I'm allowed sorry mate, @Addicted will be having a fit...

I see what you did there^

Fairly sure it's not the same car, but a Black 182 on White 2118's

Cheers buddy! Haha yeh, got a few carbon bits, can't beat a bit of carbon fibre! Got to update it all a bit, but wheels are going plain old boring anthracite, new tyres are here and they'll be going in to get refurbed this Thursday hopefully!

Did this ever get finished? Hopefully it's not another turbo build which didn't quite make it! As someone who's tempted to get there car turbo'd, it's threads like this which put doubt in my mind haha

Any news on this?

I've got 10mm PMS hub spacers to go on the back, so won't need any longer wheel bolts for those But on the front I'm hoping for 15/16mm spacers, so I'll need longer bolts If I'm honest I haven't looked into bolt to hub spacers, as I always thought they were meant for when your running quite a...

Getting spacers for my Clio, so will need longer wheel bolts Thinking of going for a stud kit as I quite like the idea of it, but if I'm honest the car is mainly used for road use (so the benefit of quickly changing wheels doesn't really matter) I just like the look of them, and in terms of...

Could someone's link me to the MAPs stud kit please?

Looks great Rob, like all your cars - talk about me being bloody jealous!
