things don't look rosy....

holy thread-bump batman!

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 :)

She's not too bad but starting to suffer, hopefully get body work niggles sorted this year! Passes the 10ft test, lol

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...

Ah the maintenance lul..... Mod hunting will bite again soon! Looking lovely as ever!

What's your ID again @MrBlonde? Mrsteviet ain't you I don't think?

No you don't, you get them for the challenge modes instead, so driving licences etc etc

Quick bath yesterday for the old girl after 175k oil and filter service

I'll try again when I'm next on, probs later tonight

Ai holds the lot together so can be fitted to the car. It's specific width though so you'll have to find one same which may be difficult

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...

really liking that first pic

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...

lol, not sure what i'm upto tonight matey but i'll shout up if i'm online :) @Typhoon

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!

Added both of you @MrBlonde @Typhoon

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 :)

ph, why do you swap the manifold every year? surely be easier to remake the rear section of the exhaust to take a 182 cat?

nice work, love my RCCK and as you say easy as pie to fit.

lol at extinguisher! nice work!

I also attempt to not bodge my track car too much..............there are a few zip ties on it however...............the shame

no front plate that's my thoughts, lol

lovely looking car chap, not fully sold on the skirts and splitter but the coilovers and spacers have sat it perfectly :)

nice base, look forward to seeing it sport rep'd disagree on the springs though, had them on my old phase 1 and they were bloody awful!lol!

Provided they are maintained correctly they will go on forever pretty much. not just the cambelt etc either, regular oil/filter changes are a must to keep the dephaser happy and the engine in general. Rest of the car you will get normal wear and tear, gearboxes and clutches need to be watched...
