Fletch's 150k 172 Project..

I think so once he's fitted a ghetto splitter and H&Rs to the Hilux.

 

[Fletcher]

Wheels need tyres before they're ready to be fitted :rasp:

Are you going with Paradas?

Looking likely yes. I'd like some R888s but need to save up some money, for my new buckets.

Brand new 2118s?

Hey yeah

This mean the turinis are going on the Hilux?

lol.. the Hilux wheels are 6 stud!

Hilux 'Cup' FTW.

i spy harnesses but no seats to fit them too. I think you should make buying some buckets your top priority

I will have some new seats soon I hope I will miss the trendlines though...

I'm guessing you've got the funds for the Recaros mate?

 

[Christopher.]

Im sure i could rustle up £400 LOL. But yes i certainly do

If my wheels aren't gone by next week I think I'm going to split the OZ F1s and R888s.....

Harnesses can be used with his Recaros that you're so desperate for :rasp:

 

[Christopher.]

shhhh Tim don't give hi ideas

Good stuff Chris. I'll keep you posted mate.

If my wheels aren't gone by next week I think I'm going to split the OZ F1s and R888s.....

How much tread, and how much do want for the R888s Tim?

Haha, the Harnesses will 'not' be fitted to the Recaro Trendlines!

*****Quick Update*****

Picking the car up on Saturday, not had it since last Thursday. KTR seem to think they have now stopped the gearbox leak (fingers crossed)

While it's there I've decided on having a de-cat fitted to my current SS stealth system, as I still can't make my mind on between the grp N Oreca system, or Yozzasport race system And would like to take it around Goodwood track somewhen and that has very strict DB limits

I have since removed spare wheel, isobar, bonnet sound deadening etc.. Back seats will come out on sunday. Hopefully fit the sabelt wheel, and PH1 stalk also.

Just been quoted £231 for 4 Prada SPEC 2's fitted from Micheldever tyres, so will probably fit my 2118s ASAP as I need to sell my turinis to free up some cash.

For this....

Then I need to sort out some matched inlets-remap and roll cage.

 

[Sanders]

Bet you can't wait to get it back man everyone seems to go down the yozza route, I'd go for the grp n to be different but like you say depends on the db's

Yes mate. I have really missed it off late, hopefully have it all sorted now for the spring-summer months (dry roads) :approve:

Blackcircles.com are £178 delivered for Paradas, even less if you can still get Cliosport discount. Sure it wouldn't cost 50 quid to get them fitted.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Fletch your paying quite a bit for average tyres really, spend £200 on some decent tyres like some Hankook RS-2's for that money and I can get the tyres fitted and balanced for £20!

Seat looks good

Cheapest place I know that fits them Tim is £10 per wheel.

Where's the cheapest place to buy the Hankook RS2-s Camskill, black circles?

£20 balanced and fitted sounds great mate

 

[Nick172Cup]

Camskill matey for the RS-2's

Yeah let me know when you've got tyres and we'll sort getting them fitted

 

[Fletcher]

Just priced them up on Camskill £53 each.

I'll drop you a PM/text mate when they arrive/ need fitting

 

[Nick172Cup]

No sweat matey

 

[Fletcher]

I picked the car up yesterday from KTR. Only done about 40 miles since, but can't smell oil. Hopefully the Gearbox leak is finally sorted.

Decat fitted to the current SS stealth system, me likes but will still probably change it for something raspier/ antisocial eventually.

I also had them loosen the rear bench torx 40 bolt, which was jammed in like a b**ch, so can now finally remove the rear bench.

That brings us to today, all going to plan me and Tim (atouba) are going to fit my sabelt wheel..

 

[Dave.]

Glad you got it back mate, I keep thinking about one of those sabelt wheels.... Hmmmm

 

[Fletcher]

Thanks Dave. The Sabelt wheels are nice. You have a 197 wheel fitted ATM don't you?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Glad it's finally sorted mate

 

[Fletcher]

^^^^Cheers mate (fingers crossed) nothing else will go wrong for a while.

 

[Fletcher]

Well today didn't really go to plan... Me and Tim (atouba) couldn't get the bloody air bag out of the steering wheel, the pissing rain didn't help So we gave up and went to the Chillworth arms for a pint and a burger

Hopefully succeed next weekend.

 

[Dave.]

Yes mate got a 197 wheel, i got it as I didn't want to lose the cruise buttons etc, but now with getting the ITB's it's not needed

 

[Christopher.]

[Christopher.]

Was the guide not very good or did you have a rouge airbag Fletch

 

[Fletcher]

Was the guide not very good or did you have a rouge airbag Fletch

Not sure Tom. We followed the guide/s that states you push the plastic clips at the back, and then the airbag should pull out. :S

[TimR26]

Burger and pint was good so never mind LOL

No, but can't be too difficult!

Disconnect battery, chainsaw off old wheel, superglue new wheel, job done :rasp:

I knew this would be the best way but forgot to bring the chainsaw :dapprove:

 

[Fletcher]

Yes mate nice lunch :approve:

If I can't get the fucker of next week, then the chainsaw sounds like a plan :rasp:

Pictures of seats as promissed. I went for the GRP version 7.5kgs each so weight is no reason to go for Kevlar/Carbon version, very porno though Standard version will fit in a Clio 2 door wide version wount. Ears on the seat are 1-2cm from the side windows. These seats are great!
