Got Some New Parts

[Jesus]

Hahahaha... cool.

I'll post a rear quarter shot of mine so you can see where they sit on mine...

Now where did I put them photos???

[Jesus]

Sorry Stu...best angle I've got at the minute for the offset...

Sorry Jo... hope seeing your car in the background isn't too upsetting.

[Stu8]

Yours look spot on. B)

just took some quick pics.

snowing very heavy so i'll edit these with clearer ones tomorrow.

[Jesus]

Looks fine to me bud!... maybe a few mm difference to mine, but then it might just look that way as mine are 18's on the rear and the rim is nearer the bodywork at the top... maybe... unsure... don't know! :D

I've got no snow here... :(

[jaxx]

I hope they dont knacker the needles.

a quick tip.... lift the needle over the needle rest and see where it stops, it will be about an inch or so below the pin. you need to set it roughly there when putting them back on

if you line it straight up with the rest pin, as soon as you refit the dash and start the engine itll jump upto around 30mph

;)

[Stu8]

cheers for the advice

You don't need to remove any needles when fitting these dials!!! If you do, you'll be asking for trouble. Can be done very easily without removing them!! Just slide the faces through the needle and onto the clock. (if that makes sense).

DON'T REMOVE THE NEEDLES!!!

[Stu8]

makes perfect sense.

thanks for that

[Stu8]

Now the snow blizzards have passed here's some pics.

and i've just gone and dropped the front OS wheel :censor:

it's only a little scuffed, I should be able to refurb it

[jaxx]

fool :P

defo need some spacers tho

[Stu8]

oh good so it's not just me who thinks they need some :)

[Ryan1985]

I see what you mean mate, spacers should sort you out though!

[Stu8]

i'll see what the spacers do first.

but i'm really not happy having them on there.

I'm going to phone Wheelbase and see if i can get them replaced with 8j's.

[ricomr2]

5mm spacers won't make much difference Stu.

You'd be much better trying to get 8's for the back if they'll do it for you

otherwise try get 10 or 12mm hubcentric spacers and fit them with longer bolts

[msherry21]

Stu, if you have problems sorting out the rear wheels, get rid of them! I have a nice set of 17" staggered setup Volks wheels for sale going cheap.

[Stu8]

right sorry too drag this back up:

but here is a progress report on what i've been up too.

firstly these arrived this week:

:D

and here's them on

i didnt like the blue gaitor so i replaced with a normal black one

oh and heres the dials at night B)

I also bought a new CD player as i broke the face on my old one

(which you cant see because its to dark :P)

the rev 6 lights have been a bit of a diaster! as i've gone and lost the instructions :!Removed!:

i've also sorted my rear wheels (well sort of) i've managed to get some 10mm spacers which makes it look a little better.

but i'll sort it properly as well as the lights after nurburg

oh yeah i'll be putting the brakes on tomorrow (friday) wish me luck.

[Jesus]

Nice one... keep it going mate... I love piccies!

[Jinxed]

Shes looking really sweet inside and out really liking all youve done im sooo envious :P

[jaxx]

hows the brake conversion going stu!

i sooooooooooo want some :P

[Stu8]

there on

piccies after my tea. lol

[Stu8]

here you go.

[Jimlad]

mahoosive!!!

[Stu8]

if you've got 16" wheels theres no chance those calipers will fit

oh and the discs are bigger than my steering wheel :P

[jaxx]

wow :D

[Flamby]

wow thats gorgeous!!! how do they perform? will you have to uprate the back so as to even it out?

looks stunning
