[Revels]

Updates?!

 

[Laura]

updates are... it goes into winter hybernation on sunday. the wheels come off and i decide if i sell for 14s or keep , shes just not low enough and i cant go lower on them wheels

 

[Revels]

I want to make a 'scene' video of it

 

[Laura]

not till next year now lol, its dissapearing for a bit. depending on fundage i might even send it off to have the engine sorted properly

 

[Christopher]

14's are a good idea... it'll be sad to see it on the steels again though. :dapprove:

 

[VeinAST]

Looks perfect as is IMO!

 

[JoeyD]

It'll look far better on 14's. Guaranteed.

 

[Laura]

I know it will but it's finding a set of 14s that look as awesome as those.

 

[Revels]

Are they 15"?

Just get the same. But smaller.

Surely you'll not even notice the extra inch anyway?

 

[Christopher]

Yup, 15's at the mo.

 

[Laura]

14rs are like hens teeth... ive seen one set for sale in the last 4 years.. they were £3000 and in need of a refurb.

it will completely change the look of the car and make it ... more awesome!!!

Nothing constructive other than it looks properly awesome Laura!

Would you consider a different style wheel or is it BBS RS`s you want?

 

[Laura]

i could... and i have, but ive seen nothing i like as much

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Off topic but, whats the headlight size, diameter.

They look awesome, may be able to modify them to fit the mini.

 

[Laura]

completely diggerent size and shape to a mini... ive got one of those sat behind the golf lol

 

[Winston]

Bye better fitting 15" RS's if you want it lower? your never getting 14" RS's!

 

[Laura]

i am if i can find some lol, no rush ill sell the 15s 1st as it goes into storage on the steelies

 

[Winston]

You will be hard pushed to find a set... ever.... if you do they are in a s**t spec standard and will require custom dishes and barrels like the ones for sale on edition38. keep on dreaming

Im only saying this as ive given up the hunt haha

 

[Laura]

never give up lol, its not like mine look terrible so i wont be too upset lol

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Fair enough, My headlights are like a candle behind a piece of black cloth.

 

[Winston]

Mk1 Lights are not much better tbh

 

[Laura]

really not lol

well yesterday i went about preparing for hybernation.

started the day like this

then after some clutch fettling, coolant change, tracking ajustment and wheel change.

off we go

and then to the garage for winter

all snuggled up... i probably should buy a car cover haha

now enough room to put this forward, get some wheels on it, some brakes and then run it as it is for s***s n giggles

 

[Turkish]

Where's Mr Bean?

 

[Laura]

I killed him for his car

 

[Hixle]

Amazing what difference a set of wheels makes to a car.

 

[Laura]

I still like it on the shot wheels lol! Tuck ftw

 

[Laura]

urgh i keep thinking i should sell this then i see it and i cant even contemplate it.

seems such a shame it just sitting there unused but atm i just have no need to, maybe next year ill drag her out n start again

 

[NoahRobinson07]

Thats 70's isn't it?

Looks 998? Bore it to 1098, and you'll get similar performance to that of the 1071 'S' of the 60s.

 

[Laura]

What?

 

[Saner]

What?

The Mini.. that you posted pictures of...?

 

[Craigie-B]

he's on about the mini, I too have a mini with a 1310cc T2 Turbo engine in

 

[Laura]

OH.. HAHA no idea, it was £100

 

[Winston]

Finish it!:race:

 

[Laura]

no funds for that atm, other projects

 

[Winston]

Did I say it needed finishing now?
