my favorite old retro one is my JVC Chameleon, sits flush when off and motorized to show the buttons
can set it to stealth too so the buttons are hidden when in use until touch one and the rest pop out
however it doesn't do DAB or Bluetooth or USB or AUX in or any of that.....so its...
the stud kit makes swapping them easy as well, both front and rear axles on my car can take upto a 15mm spacer with the ET36 wheels i use and clear the arches....just at the front easily at the rear. but with the studs chopping and changing is simple
I would say they're okay, I personally run 15mm rear and 10mm front slip on spacers (hubcentric on the rear, the 10mm fronts are flat) and I run a stud conversion all round
i don't have any issues using them and the car is primarily a track car i run on slicks with a diff etc etc.
i haven't...
great looking car, dealer plates still on it etc from the looks, guessing its completely bone stock?
wide investment to leave as is and run/maintain it. appreciating classics now and that looks a good example! nice buy!
Have you driven it on track yet? Personally I wouldn't change it for the sake of changing it. Try it as is and put the 100 quid or whatever into your coilover fund imo
Randomly booked Bedford for Monday, cars sat since September after Mallory
It's been started few times but that's about it, plan is stick some new pads on the back and change back to road wheels Sunday morning, tax it and go for a test drive. If alls well, load her up and head down to the...
Just one, I did both when one went, the one I didn't need to change then died after like 2000 miles so I refitted the old hub (I have 2 sets of hubs for ease of this) and it's still going 20k later, lol
Thankfully I've managed to avoid abs in every mk1 I've ever owned, all 12 odd of them! So I can be absolutely no help here.
However as mentioned by others, interested in pics and details of the car
for a weight insight see below for my wheels, well some of them anyway:
1: 15" Speedline Maracanã, Nankang NS2-R Tyres (195/50 R15) - 17.3Kg
2: 15" Speedline Williams, Toyo R888 Tyres (205/50 R15) - 15.8kg
3: 15" OZ Superleggera, Michelin Slicks (205/50 ish equivalent) - 11.3Kg
major savings...
tyres make such a huge difference, I remember the first time I went from R888's to full slicks about 8 years ago..............couldn't believe the difference and R888's are a damn decent track tyres
your approaching it all correctly though, build the car up gradually (ish, I know it gets...
i'll need to double check mine, I swear they look more blue than that but perhaps its all in my head and the poverty spec ones are same and its actually dark grey
That's been done proper, roof chopped off job too so jaws of life from the fire brigade.
Main thing though, annoying that the steering wheel insert is artic or mondial, not racing
