What did you and your MK2 do today?

[2G]

Fitted the Evoms intake on the FR.

Got to say it looks fantastic in the bay and I do notice a slight difference with power delivery its alot more immediate and the sound at higher revs literally sounds like an aeroplane! Whoooosh

Hey Sam.

Spoiler was £125 I think (ordered it about 6 months ago).

I got a mate to paint it for me for £20 but I'd say £50-60 would be the going rate?

We'll my alloys arrived today alas the bloody tyres didn't. But I was recommended to try the rims on the car before fitting tyres to ensure the fit. I got the 3SDMs 0.01 18" 5x112 8.4j ET45s. Now they fit and clear the brakes. They also clear the wheel arches...... Is this ok or illegal???

Did you go for silver or black?

 

[Rob_Talisman]

silver mate.

 

[Jarre]

Isn't clearing the arches illegal for mot?

Isn't clearing the arches illegal for mot?

that was my question!

 

[itsmefishy]

Yeah it is. If the wheel protrudes the arch it's illegal.

 

[holmefield]

Yeah it is. If the wheel protrudes the arch it's illegal.

The wheel can protrude as long as the tread pattern doesnt, thats why stretched tyres are used on low offset alloys or negative chamber....I've run lots of low offset alloys with the rite tyre width ( on an 8.5J I'd use 215/40's just enough stretch ) you'll be fine....I did my apprenticeship @ michelin in tyre technology and did a hell of work on cross sectional bead and tyre stresses. A small amount of stretch is fine..

They look good mate, though I would of had a wee stretch on the tyres personally.

They dont look as concaved as I thought they were. Might be the pics though...

 

[Rob_Talisman]

Dont like the stretched look. Yeah i dont think there as concave as they look on the 3sdm site.
