nice wheels, wondering where you got them from, me or strugers1 telling you when you wanted new wheels to clear your brembos to go for these, they look nice mate, im refurbing mine this monday to roughly the same colour
nice car mate

 

[caveo]

So its your fault!!!!! I could not the porshe brakes i wanted as yes the SPOKE clearance is good , BUT there is a 15mm lip on the inside of these wheels making them 17" on the inside. Im coming for you!!!! ( its a good job the brembo GT kit if fookng awsome )

You've done a great job there Caveo, loving the wheels. Are they light wieghts.

 

[morrischad]

Caveo it looks sweet, impressed with those figures, would love to see it go as mines not mapped yet

No they're not lightweight but aint too bad for 18's ( lighter than my old 17" wolfrace street octaines )

Nice car mate, must be fun driving it with that sort of power!

How about getting the rear lights clear coated? Would make them look much better I think

 

[caveo]

already laquered em mate , but they could do with rubbing down and doing again but im lazy with things that dont affect performance.

 

[T. Spark]

Sure its a monster now you have the brakes and diff to go with all the power (only downful it had IMHO)

I think we should swop cars for a day when I push mine closer to 260bhp

 

[caveo]

Its def quicker but it feels not as mental somehow and ALOT better in the twistys thanks to the ARB's and Quaife.

you asked for big brake clearance and we have already tried them on a cupra r with big clearance

 

[caveo]

I ment REALY BIG!

SPEC clutch has come off now and a SACHS one gone on there and the car is alot smoother now , i just dare not drive it as im concerned i will demolish this one too and at 1100 quid i cant afford to.
