danny, its a valver not a willy!lol
no sales and no swaps, am in for the long haul with this one, turbo power puts too much of a grin on my face to sell up, and old skool mk1 rools!hehe!
neil, i think i agree, i have a wheel swap on a temporary basis lined up for same wheels in black with...
.........wheels :wink:
went for spin tonight after work as the weather was smart and the car is running very well atm, absolutely loving it :twisted:
let me know what you think, but its safe to say in the 'daylight' i have been convinced, they look mint imo :P
Coops...
its not tungy fellas am afraid lol, its Xerus grey, its a phase 2.
yeah i like the wheels but i think they are too close to the body colour, so i do need to get some decent pics and see them in decent light to be sure, old wheels are still favourite atm.
if i decide i dont like, they will...
couldnt resist, wanted willy wheels for ages :P
more pics when i take the car out, if the spring ever bloody comes :roll: :lol: as i need to decide if i like or not, they may have to go black, lol
Coops
heard of ashbourne mate, not sure on the other but not really been to either tbh as i only work in derbyshire, more familiar with south yorkshire n flipside of the pennines as i grew up in warrington
dave - commute from north sheffield all the way to flippin darley bridge everyday! massive trek but the route is frankly stunning so am not to bothered, gets a bit hairy in the winter tho over the tops!lol

yeah at the fly matey, i want 250 really for the limit of the chip but thats at 15.5psi and i only ran it to 6000rpm at 12psi on the RR so fingers crossed for the next one!

very nice mate, and lymm eh? i was back home at my parent in appleton thorn today, just up the road! how long u had the car as i cant say i've ever seen it and used to frequent lymm a few year ago before i moved to sheffield
bloody hell, what tyre fitment is that as thats flippin pricey! last set of eagle f1 in 195/50 r15 flavour i bought were 190 quid for all four corners fitted balanced and inc vat
sounds like a rod through the block mate, kippered engine am afraid, but as said easy to source and fit a direct replacement if your handy with a spanner
yes mate, i have a full spec if you like, and it was rr'd couple of weeks ago at 228bhp and 202lbft of torque at 12psi which tbh am not that happy with having pretty much rebuilt the entire car over last year on my drive, lol
