Got Some New Parts

[Stu8]

Nurburg is approaching fast, So i've been busy spending my hard earned; to get the tubby look more appealing.

So first to go was the wheels. (which I've always hated from buying the car 3 years ago.)

so out with the old:

and in with the new:

Tomorrow my low rise rev 6 lights should be arriving so once there on I'll post some pics. B)

Are those as hard to fit as i've been led to believe?

Fancied them as one of my 1st mods (along with wheels/suspension)

[Flamby]

I love the whole OZ SuperTurismo GT wheels and low rise lights idea... :D :D :D

Very nice mate.

For eveyone else, the lights are easy to fit and take a couple of hours.

Thet're the wheels I wanted when I bought my OZ wheels!!! At the time they were completely out of stock... EVERYWHERE!! :(

As Jesus said they don't take much fitting. The hardest part was assembling them in the first place! There's 1 stage that almost seems impossible to do and I nearly lost my temper with a big pair of pliers in my hand! :ffs:

Scary thought - I'll have for the lights and perhaps lay off the coffee that morning :S

P.s. its a nice day, so the car is gonna get my full attention today :D

[Jesus]

Just noticed youve even got the same tyres as me... :)

Great combination. Light wheels and grippy tyres.

I take it yours are 17" all round though???

[Stu8]

Cheers for the comments peeps

The lights havent arrived today.

So either they've got my address wrong or they'll be coming tomorrow now.

Yep Toyo T1-r's and 17" all round. 235's on the rear and 215's on the front B)

and I must say so far the tyres have been great

[jaxx]

looks mega stu, hopefully have some rev6 lights meself for show season :D

[Stu8]

Oh right I thought you already had some.

[Stu8]

Got them this morning.

And yes the first stage is very hard, so hard infact i've lost my temper and virtually destroyed the plastic bits on the adjusters

before:

quick tip: place in the boiling water and then try to put them on or else this might happen

after:

there easy to fit on the biggers ones but on the main headlights it so tight it's damn fiddly (why cant they be metal instead of plastic!!!!)

[Stu8]

with the other 3 i managed to rescue this is what it sould look like when there all on.

With your OZ's did you buy some wheelspacers for the rear?

as the only offset I could find is 40 which is apprently universal and the only size.

They look fine really

But I must have OCD becuase they seem to be just a tad to negative at the rear for my liking.

but the fronts are spot on.

[jaxx]

no not got em yet :( on me shopping list tho :)

LOL! It's not just me then! I didn't mangle them that bad but they are a nightmare to assemble.

[Stu8]

I'm not know for good patience :ffs: :D

Just order some e-glow dials from the speedhut in the states.

they should be arriving next week :D

[jaxx]

youll have fun fitting them ;)

just try and get the needles back in the right position :D

[Stu8]

I hope they dont knacker the needles.

I'm running 40 offset all round on mine.

Fronts are 17x7J ET40 with 215/40/17

Rears are 18x8J ET40 with 245/35/18

What width wheel are you running on the rears? If you're running less than 8, then I'd say that would be why.

[Stu8]

8j's or is it 7.5j's its to cold to go outside and find out :P

As I said there not that bad they just look like there slighty further into the arch than the fronts.

Wheelbase are giving me some 5mm spacers.

I rekon that's more than enough to fill the arch
