Thanks mate
Me too! A few people said to me that they preferred the 182 alloys when they saw I had bought the Turinis, but have changed their minds since they've seen these on.

Need to keep on top of the TPI bolts. If they aren't cleaned regularly they go pitted and rusty. The locking wheel bolt isn't that strong either.
I saw jackdanielsmom offering someone these 20mm M.A.D spacers in the week and after the OP didn't take him up on them, I purchased them.

I got them fitted today and gave the car a quick clean whilst I was at it, as 2 weeks and 500 miles was taking it's toll.

(I'm a bit gutted I didn't put the 3/4 plate on for this pic, as I quite like it)
All was well until I decided to go for a quick drive to make sure they were on okay. I took it up the road and there was quite a violent judder coming from the offside wheel. I took the wheel and the spacer back off, cleaned up the hub and back of the spacer and refitted.
I took it for another drive and although it felt better there was still a bit of a judder coming through the steering wheel. It was getting dark at this point so instead of fiddling about with them in the dark I took them off and will have to have another look next weekend and see if I can get down to the root of the juddering.

Thanks mate, appreciate it
It's just ticked 98k. It's in pretty good shape for the mileage, there's a few chips on the drivers' side door so I'm hopefully getting the whole side resprayed come spring time.

very nice mate
Cheers guys, appreciate the comments
Thanks mate. There are a fair few other cars on here with much more attention to detail but I'm slowly getting there. I'll be looking to gather some little bits and bobs over the winter and tidy a few bits up when the weather gets better.
On another note, it's Christmas! Treat the flamer to something nice :approve:

Major need for a full service and then after will try and afford a wheel refurb, then the couple of parking dings removed
Thanks mate, appreciate the comment
This makes me want Turini's
Very nice RB!
Whenever I look at your car it makes me want to get a set of F1's! Can't justify two sets of wheels though :dapprove:
Cheers pal
Cheers mate
I've ordered a DAS-6 which will hopefully be here on Tuesday, then I've just got to hope that the weather will hold up for 2 days so I can give it a full strip down and fresh polish/wax before I go back to work.
I got some Tpi bolts for christmas so got those fitted today. I'm really pleased with how they look and I'm sure they'll look even better once the car is clean!

I've also ordered an engine cover which I'm still debating on what to do with, I don't know whether to tie it into the RB/Anthracite theme or keep it standard. Much will depend on how fresh it looks when I receive it I think.
My current Fabia splitter has also seen much better days, so a new one of those has been ordered too.

No mate, just springs. I think it's just a combination of the slight incline of my drive and the fact that the wheel isn't straight.
I bought the DAS-6 Pro from CYC and a black hex-logic pad to use with Triple for the time being mate. I'm sure I'll add more pads/compounds as I get used to it and understand it all a bit more.

Thanks man, appreciate it.
Im looking into getting a set of cooksports early in the new year. Is there a notable difference to the standard ride height / handling or is it a subtle change?
They're definitely worth the money IMO. The ride does get quite a bit firmer but it's not unbearable and I live out in the countryside using B roads and one track country lanes daily.
I think they give a drop of about 30mm. If you have a look back through the thread you can see it before I had them put on to gauge the drop they give
As I'm not going to be driving anywhere over the next few days and the weather was on my side, I went out early and started prepping the car ready for when the machine polisher arrives.
The Iron-X didn't really pull much out of the paint but there were plenty of tar spots which Tar-X dealt with and quite a lot of contamination that the clay picked up. This was just from under the side strip of the passengers' side door:
I'd forgotten how much of a pain using clay is, especially at this time of year! It's now all prepped though and ready for whenever the polisher decides to make an appearance.
Here's a better picture of the bolts too:

My engine cover also arrived today and I've just put that on as it is for now whilst I decide what to do with it. The inlet manifold and fuel rail guard need sorting out no matter what though.
