You dealt with jabba before?
I'm thinking of taking mine there for mapping when I fit my hybrid

Ha... That works... Until they find the bills for stuff.
I got caught for my downpipe cat back and forge tip.

Luckily not the hybrid bill... Think I'll be single if she finds that haha

 

[Scott-o]

Nah not before but heard good things! Plus it was a good price in the end!

Yeh with wheels I just tell her I'm selling old ones on for the same price so they are free haha

Good job she doesn't know what a diff clutch or flywheel involves doing or price haha her dad told her it was a massive expensive job, need to tell him to shush lmao

Haha tell her dad to keep it on the down low!
I've done the same this month spent the equivalent of a whole months wages on my car and bmx but she only thinks ive spent a few hundred

 

[Blanco92]

Blanco, you got any pictures of ibises with them on, had a search but can't find any! Would like to see what they look like!

Pretty sure these are black TDs?

 

[ScottHmk4]

you keeping them on all the time or just track days? dont know if i like them personally, too many spokes for me. you painting them a different colour? dont get me wrong i bet they will look awesome when fitted.

 

[Scott-o]

Yeh, look like it! They suit it but make me glad they rant black, too much for my liking!

you keeping them on all the time or just track days? dont know if i like them personally, too many spokes for me. you painting them a different colour? dont get me wrong i bet they will look awesome when fitted.

If I like them they will be on all the time, never even been on a trackday haha and they are staying that colour, that's why I bought them as coulda nearly bought some brand new anyway if I was gonna factor in the cost of a refurb. Should hopefully be a nice contrast on the car

 

[Hartosh1]

You thought about getting some uprated engine mounts Scott? Think thats next on my to do list im getting a bit of movement from the engine reckon there gonna go soon and if i did hybrid they would just get chewed up

 

[Scott-o]

I havnt tbh mate, stop spending my money for me haha mine seem fine for now like!

Working Sunday this weekend I've just been told hopefully find some time to work on the car!

 

[Scott-o]

Front lower brace arrived today:

Came with the biggest sticker I have ever seen lol:

Picture of the forge rear brace:

Hopefully the rest of the bits for the rear brace swell as my gearknob will be at my Saturday job when I next go in! Wheels got picked up today, so are on their way hopefully they will be at work too eh!

 

[wigz45]

Came with the biggest sticker I have ever seen lol:

lmao where the **** are you gna put that?!

 

[Scott-o]

I might save it to the next rr day and just stick it on yours when your not looking haha it's absolutely huge, I just stood there like WTF :|

 

[Scott-o]

Well wheels have turned up very quick!

Still no gearknob or the bits that are missing from the rearstrut brace :/ shoulda just paid the extra and got it direct from forge lol

Hopefully get the car in the gfs garage tonight (no pun intended lol) and get front lower brace fitted and wheels on! The tyres are wider but lower profile, hopefully no rubbing issues!

 

[Scott-o]

Wheels don't fit over the brakes fml! Looked so good swell when I put one on the back! Left the lower brace aswell so waste if time! Only good thing is I swapped my wheels front to back haha wheels are for sale, gutted, will start a thread soon

 

[Hartosh1]

Take it you dont want to run spacers on the front then?

 

[Scott-o]

Not really a choice for us really as et35 on the front is about the limits if you wanna get fairly low, reckon it'd take a 10mm spacer at least for us!

 

[vroomtshh]

7.5" wide pro race 1.2s clear ap calipers with et30.
Just to give u an idea what you'd need

 

[Scott-o]

Think they would look abit daft if you had proper tyres on them,don't want to be stretching tyres again really. Siigghhh standards will have to do haha

 

[Scott-o]

got bored after work so went and got a round file and 2 nuts that were missing from the forge rear brace. Got that fitted:

Then drove to gf's and averaged 47.8mpg so wasn't testing it out obviously haha still one of the locking nuts missing so itl probably loosen off
