Where do you keep picking up these Formula Renault wheels? LOL

 

[Stu.]

Where do you get the model parts from? I'm trying to get a few bits for one I'm "attempting" to make! And also same question as jason

 

[Gaz.]

Where do you keep picking up these Formula Renault wheels? LOL

I'm going to presume the best place to look would be in the Formula Renault community, open wheel racing community or classic racing community.

 

[Kane.]

Only just seen this thread. Such a soft spot for these.

 

[Winston]

I have a contact in the open wheel community who is a good source of single seater spares, if he doesn't have it he will know someone that has. They are getting quite rare in there community esp the rears. Lets just say they don't think they are going to be polished and fitted to a lowered Volkswagen. lol I have waited over a year for these to turn up so I stocked up

All the engine parts are from other diecast models. For wheels and other random parts see post #359.. All my stuff came from ebay.

Cheers guys

 

[Winston]

Thought I best update this.....?

I started with splitting the 7.5J's

I then split the 10J's and had a play with the dishes. This shows 7.5J+8.5J+9J+10J

This is what Im left with 8.5J front and 9.0J rear. Now the hard part starts of making the dishes shiney and swapping in my polished centres. Ideally I wanted 8.5J all round so im on the hunt for some 5.5" barrels.

 

[Winston]

These headlights were a bargain find on German ebay and the grill was a stroke of luck find on UK ebay. I will let the pictures do the talking.

They even came with fitting instructions:approve:

Sweeet

 

[LIL B]

Looks good on the mantle piece tbh.

 

[Matt Cup]

Love it! Keep up the good work!

 

[Jason_E]

Update this like you did on teh editionzzzzz. As I said, it's the best kind of gash <3

 

[Winston]

Cheers guys

Just for you Jason

 

[VeinAST]

Looks so broken with the pov spec wheels on! Unsure on the front lights!

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

Love

 

[Gray]

Looking good chap!

 

[Winston]

Cheers guys! Ive still got the twin rounds if I feel the need for a change.

Ive got some new front coilovers. They are well used but should clean up ok:approve:

Can any of the JDMers guess what make and what they are off?

9.5 inches for her pleasure.... by Winstang, on Flickr

 

[LIL B]

Look like old Buddy Clubs to me.

 

[Winston]

They are indeed. I was looking at Civic coilovers as they have really short bodies but due to the double wishbone set up they all have piddly rods unless you spend mega money. These came up cheap on ebay after months of searching the word "coilover" on ebay everyday haha

 

[Christopher]

Yup. The sticker's a giveaway.

Buddy Club

 

[Winston]

That was the easy question to draw you in..... but what car are they originally for?

 

[LIL B]

I've personally never seen a set with a eye fixing at a horizontal to the car... normally vertical..

Maybe someone else will know.

 

[Kneel]

Edition is a must Mr Bone.. And mats would be greatly welcomed <3

Im from Salford and the roccos not really been on the road yet only to its MOT in radcliffe and Tatton park

I would love that muggles, it is a Steeeeeal at that price but bad timing for me money wise

i dont suppose you went to cross lane MOT centre? If not where did you go in Radcliffe? And why didn't I see the car, I think I like it more than the illiams haha

 

[Turkish]

If you can find the car with the unusual square top mount configuration you might be able to crack it. Any numbers legible on the sticker? Call Buddy Club and ask ?

 

[Winston]

I can't remember the garage name its a mate of a mates. .

I found out they were from an MR2. sadly the dampers are leaking ffs!! so I have been on to buddyclub for a price on new inserts.

This is were they are leaking from. you can only see it leaking when you compress the damper rod. -_-

 

[Kneel]

Well next time your in Radcliffe message me I want a good look at the rocco

 

[Winston]

You or anyone won't be seeing the Scirocco for a year or two.. Its restoration time

Damage from the tarmac

Few weapons

 

[Djw Dave]

HOLY s**t!!

I wish i loved my Mk2 golf as much as you love your dubs.

 

[Winston]

Its Mk1 love. Most volkswagens don't do alot for me unless its slammed through the floor haha. I pick up a Mk1 Golf at weekend. Its going to be truely winstonised like the good old days

Had any look shifting the Mk2? I spotted it on pistonheads while I was hunting for a new Mk1. I don't think the auto will help with the love!

 

[Jason_E]

YAY MK1 Love <3

 

[Winston]

Its been over 6 months since updating. not much to show tbh.

2012 has been the year of hunting and collecting parts. The balls rolling behind the scenes chassis and body wise.:approve:

[welshname]

I spy porsche seats inside too

Get more updates!

That is all.

edit: How do you go about turboing twin webers?

 

[Winston]

The Porsche seats belong to a mate, they were being temporarily stored in it. They are for sale iirc!

Ive sold the turbo conversion. Im now building a naturally aspirated 1.3 Screamer. you can turbo webers you just need to have a plenum chamber. It would be cool but I want a minimal bay thats why the turbo had to go.

More updates when it gets abit more interesting

 

[Dave..]

Loving the dedication to this.

Most people start a project of this size and sell all the bits on within 6 months. Theres a guy who lives next door to my mum with an orange mk1 Jetta that I guess would tick all the boxes for you. Meant to be quite a famous one?

 

[Winston]

Cheers man

I love that orange jetta. the engine bay gave me quite a few ideas.

Ive bailed on many projects in the past. so the scirocco is doing very well haha
