I've had a bit of a problem finding somewhere that sells Redline recently :( Bit of an annoyance, as I wouldn't mind getting this issue.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Thanks! the 2118's are one of the best purchases I've made tbh :) On another note, I quite fancy changing the side/bump strips for grey/black ones (cup racer style) Anyone know if these are just the poverty spec ones that are used? Or, were they a specific paint...

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project I'm thinking of doing the same tbh, I'm hoping it wasn't long until the polarised locking bolts are available, but could be ages I suppose!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Are you going to put them all in, or keep a locking bolt on? :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Thanks! :) haha! The car is garaged when I'm at home and the car park at work is supposedly secure. Fingers crossed I'll never have that issue to deal with! :eek:

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project It's a shame they don't do them, especially considering they do those finishes on the nuts. Good choice though! :rasp:

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Sounds good, could be interested in something like that. I'll have to see how it looks when I've tidied up the hubs. I've just sent a PM over to you, but I can't seem to find anodised blue, I must have been mistaken! :(

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project I'll have a look and PM you, although I think they do anodised ones :) Carbon centres...interesting, any photos? ;)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project No, not expensive at all; £40 for 16 of them, plus delivery. I think the locking bolts will be about £20-£25 for 4, so again, not bad at all. :) I believe the same place do them in anodised finishes too.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Decided I was going to change over the bolts and tidy up the hubs this morning; I got as far as getting the bolts swapped before the weather took a turn and it decided to rain! :dapprove: I'm not sure about what to do about the locking wheel nuts at present, until...

Agreed! :cool:

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project I contacted the distributers; I found out later that they were also the manufacturers! :)

It's a shame it's not worked out as planned, as it was a unique and interesting idea! One that I was looking forward to seeing. I suppose that was the risk, with them only being available in a universal fitment.

Awesome! :D

I'd love one, however, I highly doubt I'll ever own one now though :dapprove:

Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project Nice video that, I enjoyed watching it! :)

Plush Automotive, Midlands (Leicestershire) based too. http://www.plush-automotive.co.uk/

Thanks a lot!! :D

They're about £500, then tyres on top. :) But, being 15" the tyres are cheap! :D

Speedline 2118's on mine :) With way too much wet rained on tyre gel on that photo :clown:

I'd stick with the 182 cup wheels, given those two choices :)

I like that :approve:

I've had my supersport stealth for a good few months now and I don't find it 'too loud' to live with everyday. Having said that, I was expecting it to be quite a loud system, based on what people had posted on here. It's pretty loud, but I personally don't find it too intrusive.

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project They're made by TPI (Taper Pro) www.taperpro.co.uk :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project I finally got fed-up of looking at the dirty horrible ones that are currently on the car! The only thing to watch, is my current ones have a rotating sleeve at the taper, whereas these don't. Got to be careful when torque'ing them up not to damage the wheels! But...

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project Wheel bolt arrived yesterday; impressed with how it looks and the quality :approve: Checked the fitment, which is correct, so I've just ordered a complete set to replace all the existing bolts. If they arrive as quickly as the first one I ordered, they should...

I really like that! :)

Awesome! :D

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project And I've found a photo, showing the bolts I'll be using :)

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project I believe I've found the 'polar' effect wheel bolts, in the correct sizing. 12x1.5 thread, 60 degree tapered seat and a 27/28mm thread length; sounds correct to me? So, I've got a single sample on the way to check, before placing a full order for 12 standard...
