Project Retro JDM - Eunos Roadster

[K1NGY]

The scoob
Shame to see it go back to "standard" ish

Get that mk5 going tho Tom
Should be a good'n

 

[Tom 46]

POKE!!

 

[Philip.]

'Some' camber, lol!
I'm sure it'll look great.

Wheels look alright too.

 

[Rob]

Progress isn't as quick with this one, I'm getting impatient!

"some" camber is definitely an understatement.

 

[MaLicE]

take the datum tow loop off lol!!! not a good look, minimal is better...

 

[Gaz.]

Needs some mild overfenders and not so much -ve camber IMO.

 

[LIL B]

Tuckin 99 do some nice ones.

 

[Tom 46]

Dont want overfenders, really not a fan tbh, and would rather spend the money elsewhere on the car....like some lower seats so i dont keep hitting my head....

Progress is slower because i still havnt sold the scooby and have no money lol!

Fingers crossed it should be sold tommorow though

Can then order coilovers

 

[Mister_Lee]

Love those <3 so old school and the colour combo looks epic!

 

[Tom 46]

Got tyres fitted couple of days ago, but had to wait for new extended wheel nuts to arrive before i could fit the wheels. They are now on though!

They do poke out a fair bit, but not as much as i was expecting tbh, so rather happy with that Just some slight modifications required now, remove arch liners (as theres a couple of bolts in there that are destroying the tyres!) and add some camber Should be sorted today though as ive got a £150 mile trip to do tommorow!

Pics soon to follow

 

[Dunn]

Going to look immense with the advans on

 

[Tom 46]

Suprised at how low it is already, had to remove several bolts from the inside of the front wheel arches due to rubbing already.....Cant wait to get it slammed on a set of coilovers now

Teaser pic until rest are uploaded

 

[Tom 46]

I know its not low enough yet, saving up for coilovers. Should only be a couple weeks at most until its slammed

Also thinking about getting a side exit exhaust made up

 

[Tom 46]

That is with max camber on the front, so think im going to have to go for some narrower tyres

 

[Winston]

What tyres did you go for, they look massive... sorry if its allready been said.

Ah just remembered they are 14".. tyre selection is shite haha

A sidey may give you lots of ground cleance problems once its slammed?

 

[MaLicE]

lol balloooooon spec rubber!

 

[Philip.]

lol balloooooon spec rubber!

+1

Its screaming for fenders so bad.

 

[mat-nos]

175/50/14 swill look better!!

nice start though looking forward to the coilovers and stance!!

 

[Tom 46]

Dont like over fenders so wont be going for them

Wanted big profile tyres because they are only 14's....didnt want it running too low once it is lowered. Cant even get the jack under the car as it is now, even when it is on the big plank of wood i can only just get the jack underneath....so once lowered i dont know how im going to jack it up lol. So far it is lower than both my clio and scooby, in terms of jacking it up


that said, i didnt think the tyres would be that big!! Was looking at getting 165/55 or 165/60 but they didnt have either of those sizes So had to go for 175/65. They were also £50 cheaper than the 165's which helped to persuade me lol

 

[Tom 46]

Looking at 165/50's next, but will have to wait a few weeks until i have coilovers on

 

[LIL B]

Tuckin 99 fenders :-

[Philip.]

Fair enough if you dont like them Tom, but it'll looking farking sweet with them!
Smaller tyres are deffo needed though

 

[ekaJ]

How wide are the wheels?

 

[Winston]

7J iirc

 

[edgeydt50]

before you buy coilovers PM me as i think im going to have to sell up in the next couple of weeks.

 

[Christopher]

Balloons!

 

[Gaz.]

LOL at the 4x4 tyres.

 

[Hutchie]

OVERFENDERS NEEDED

 

[MarcoB]

Got some tein rear shockers and springs if your interested Non adjustable but they are Cheappppp.

 

[Tom 46]

Think im going to sell the advans tbh, just dont do it for me really

Not sure on what other wheels to get though, know a couple of sets of BBS RM's that are up for sale, but want something retro JDM and 15"

PM about coilovers

 

[Adz]

they can work, just need to get rid of the balloooon spec tyres

dont think these are advans but still look the dogs

 

[Tom 46]

Bit of an update:

 

[welshname]

Bit of an update:

Looks nice, spacers on the front, camber, and some more info on what everything bloody is lol

 

[Philip.]

Looks good!
More, proper, full colour pics needed

 

[Tom 46]

Advans just werent doing it for me, stance was s**t on them, so was looking around for some more wheels when my mate offered me these. BBS RM's, 15"x8J fronts and 15"x8.5J rears.

Got some cheap coilovers second hand from the mx5 forum, eventually fitted them (b*****d to remove the old ones though) and discovered that i cant really lower the rear because the coilover hits the driveshaft.....

So removed all of the helper springs, which has made the ride appaulingly bad, but managed to get it looking alright for now. On the lookout for new coilovers which will allow me to lower the rear, but money is a bit tight at the moment after buying the BBS's!!

and then finally my Garage Vary front splitter arrived. Massivley improves the look of the front end i think....

and then thats me all up to date

 

[valerio]

awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[_Tom]

Awesome wheels..time for some 9" dishes..haha

 

[richybatt]

love it mate, really wish i had kept mine

 

[Hixle]

Wheels look spot on!

 

[Philip.]

Looks ace!
Cant help but think it's missing something though...

What happened to the eye kit?
