wouldn't be an exclusive anymore then though and run the risk of devaluing. although spose you just keep original wheels and interior in a shed out the way where they can't hurt anyones eyes, then when you sell sell with both options.
It's kind of strong money just after Christmas too so you may be lucky and it'll still be around in Feb
However trying to find one for sale is getting harder and harder so may get bought quick. Just can't tell tbh
looks decent tbh and I would guess he has removed the bucket seat and refitted the standard one for sale
only quibble for me is cambelt as well as it will be a 500 quid job this year, so i'd be going in at 2k max
I'm running 20mm front and 15mm rear hubcentrics (bolt to hub on the fronts, longer bolts on rears) and the standard ET43 182 cup wheels, sits like this on H&R springs
I intend to slap my ET43 2118's onto it and some coilovers come the summer and expect it to sit perfectly with these spacers :)
Gave it a bath, 3M restored the headlights again and washed the drivers seatbelt.
Also refitted rear plate as it was peeling off so new Velcro added!!
Few pics of progress!
Belt clean first, bit of stain remover, bucket of detergent laden water and a nail brush
Manky belt
Soak it for a bit...
Oil and filter service today for 175k!
Also picked up some more cup wheels a few months back with pretty much as new Michelin's on and since the rainsports on the current wheels were getting low and these new wheels are in better nick, swapped over!
At same time I took the 15mm spacers off...
trawl ebay usually chap @JB21 no idea on compound, never really looked into it that far but the ones from the ginetta series which are Michelin I think are pretty hard as they seem to last forever. I've had dunlops off ebay before as well, no idea where from originally, but they were far...
sorry for track I wouldn't use the t1r or parada spec 2 type tyres personally. I use the ps3 for wets as well on track and perform really well, did a day at Mallory in torrential rain other month and without sounding like 'that guy' I was quickest out there when the weather was its worst.
dry...
as above, central wear mean you need to drop the pressures more, aim for around 28psi hot on the fronts, so do a 20 min session and check pressures
as for t1r, use them on road few times over the years and they are on par with parade spec 2, soft and wobbly but functional enough
I use rainsports...
cheers guys, its not as good as it looks in the pics, 10ft test passes!lol! but for a daily used car since it came out the factory pretty much with a few miles under her belt she's okay
plans to sort paint next year anyway so should be gleaming again come summer if all goes to plan!
oh dear, tbh to hit something on a motorway, which usually means some kind of speed is involved, and only come out with that is good going
remove t1r's immediately, burn with fire, replace with rainsports all round. safety first :)
