New Parts fitted..

Fletcher · Feb 26, 2011

Fitted the sabelt wheel last sunday thanks Tim, Chris. I had a few hours spare this afternoon, so got the Hankook RS2s and 2118s fitted today finally

I didn't get any close up pics, but it's a very tight fit between the calipers (4 pots) and 2118s

Oh now on 130,600

Really nice combo there Fletcher

Choice mods.

oliver.james · Feb 26, 2011

Are you keeping the turinis too? I was going to keep mine so I could swap between them and the 2118's, but shortly after realised I'd never take the 2118's off! :evil:

Yeah I would they weigh a fair bit..

Thats minus the massive bit hiding under the rooflining.

leewxm · Feb 26, 2011

tidy car

Jon.G · Feb 26, 2011

Perfect Iceberg IMO.

Howcome you chose RS2's? Im in need of 2 new ones for the front, but im stuck between V12's, RS2's and PE2's. From my understanding the RS's are more track based, yes?

ROB91 · Feb 26, 2011

Love it, wheels make such a big difference.

I've heard quite a few good reviews on them. The car is now just a weekend/trackday toy so thought the RS2's would fit the bill nicely.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys :approve:

Not sure yet Oliver. The back tyres have brand new Conti sport 3s only done around 200 miles! But saying that I can't see them ever going back on..lol

I am also looking forward to some warm dry roads now.

Sell the turinis, then buy some bucket seats

The suspension looks to be still spot after the stripping and now the 15's !

Chris205 · Feb 27, 2011

have you noticed any performance increase switching from 16's to 15's?

haha not sure what I am going to do with the turinis yet, they've been good to me for the past 3 years

Yes Chris I am really happy with the ride height, considering how much weight I have removed. It still looks good (not 4x4 height) I could remove the rear platform off the H&Rs to drop it another 10mm if I wish, but TBH am happy with it ATM

Hard to say really, the car is pulling, driving better than ever ATM (diet+ decat) and once warm yesterday around some dry bends and roundabouts the tyres felt bloody brilliant....However I did have one 'sketchy' moment yesterday around a damp small roundabout and cold brand new tyres lol.

Sounds good mate, yeah I've read a few times that they have a tendancy to Aquaplane in the wet due to the tread pattern. Now all I need is some 4 pots and I will have a very nice B road car for the summer

Yeah I've heard that too. Luckily I roll in the Hilux when it's wet outside.

4pots are great mate, I love mine

Chris205 · Feb 27, 2011

Are you running willwoods like the ones oliver.james has? How do you compare them to say standard set up with brembo disks and ds2500 pads?

Scrooge · Feb 27, 2011

Same miles my old dci is on, yours is looking better in it's old age lol

Sanders · Feb 27, 2011

I am running the compbrake 4 pot kit, had them for fitted for 3 years now without any probs..

Similar to the Willwoods bar the compbrakes have separate bells/rotors. The standard set up with Brembo HC discs, DS2500 braided lines etc are very good. However once warm the 4 pots they're excellent, they look pretty too

The turinis are a prettier wheel mate.

Loving 15'' wheel prices though.
