Nice looking cup! Are they different wheels in the last picture as they look like steelies.

 

[hicky_j]

Yup, currently running steelies. Only got so I cud refurb the Turinis but I actually really like them! Completely transforms the look of the car. Suprisingly had loads of positive comments since fitting them. Turini's will be back on soon tho dnt worry... :approve:

 

[jordan172]

nice ride height, what suspension is it on?

 

[hicky_j]

V-Maxx coilovers.

I've stripped the rear interior so the back wont go any lower than that, set the front to match. Didn't want to go silly low tho, jus reduce a chunk of the arch gap.

 

[jordan172]

looks perfect

 

[hicky_j]

Thank you for the kind comments :approve:

Nice car. Got any more mods planned?

 

[hicky_j]

Considering a decat but don't want the exhaust to be much louder. Got a cup racer style front tow eye to fit. Front brake ducting. Been wanting a roll cage for ages so hopefully get one sumtime soon...

Turini's are staying black mate, jus gona do a proper job of it this time. The last efforts were a bit rushed.

Tommy G did the polishing. Yeh I'm in Market Harborough. Defo up for heading to the next local meet whenever it is, meet some more members.

 

[RichCup]

Was about to say I thought I recognised the wheels

Looks really nice mate!

 

[McMillan]

Very nice.

I didnt think much of black turinis on the cup but yours looks awesome.
Getting my wheels refurbed soon on my cup, was going straight silver but you have just put a spanner in the works

 

[hicky_j]

Yeh I was never 100% sure tbh. Much prefer them now tho looking back.

Sorry to throw in a spanner. Defo put some thought into it. Mine are satin black.


Yeh, thanks again for the wheels RichCup :approve:

 

[Icarus83]

Lovely car fella.......makes me tempted to remove all my 'track look' stickering, and go for a more standard look......yours is beautiful!

I'm slightly curious what sized steelies you are using (guessing 16" 6.5/7J ???) and which tyres to match........and any chance you know how heavy are the steels + tyres compared to turinis + tyres??
