lookin good, like the wheels

are they pressed plates? or are my eyes gammy

 

[zach225]

your eyes are gammy lol, they are in weird number plate holder things though

 

[lil3520]

Love the wheels.

Bet they are a hard job to clean

 

[zach225]

not too bad actually, wonder wheels is brillant stuff just a spray and then a whip round with a brush

 

[Mattwood]

looks nice and tidy - the wheels really suit it!

Have you got many plans for it?

how near southampton are you mate? i have a lot of family in salisbury and am about 40 mins from there

 

[Mattwood]

I'm about 9 miles outside Southampton, but towards Portsmouth (pretty much between the 2 really)

nice car mate! Those wheels look somewhat familiar to BK racing ones hmm

I was going for the bbs/bk look, but for £500 including tyres and 20mm spacers for the rear, I couldn't refuse

 

[Vesta]

hmmm not too bad i suppose whats the going rate on spacers?

my mate has some gash black ones with polished lip on his corsa, think they were a bit less than that but like i say there horrible

 

[bboarder]

where did you get the remap from?
and how much?
also how had it effected you mpg?

cheers

 

[zach225]

i would tell you but the company isnt liked on this forum due to legal threats or something, also because of your limited posts i cant pm you,

the company is the site sponsor for ecu remapping on the ************.

i payed £250 and went up to leicester for it, price included a full health check and before and after rolling road results, i cannot recommend the company enough, they are great,

it hasnt really effected my mpg, obviously its worse when you drive it hard but thats obvious, normal driving is no different

 

[adam kelly]

Car looks great mate

just one thing you say your goin to stage 2 first. The standard turbo will only take 200bhp id go for front mount intercooler hybrid turbo then stage 2 really.Thats what most people do really.

 

[zach225]

na those plans are old now,

i've decided its just staying as it is or its gonna cost too much money,

it does have HID's now though but thats it.

im happy just using my bike as the main toy, and as im buying a house with the mrs i need the cash to stay in savings

i remember speaking to the old owner of this car at a show,was a nice example,its had loads of different wheels on it,looking good though i like the new wheels aswell.

 

[zach225]

cheers mate,

yeh previous owner was a nice guy, and you tell its been taken care of, it still looks brand new not 8 years old!, and as it was a 5hr drive to pick the car up his mum made me and my mate pizza's which sweetened the deal lol.

yeh its had loads of wheels. i still have his original build thread, the best ones he had were his last set which were the diamond faced TT wheels, they looked mint! but im on a budget unfortunately

 

[zach225]

yay new bumpers
