Yeah it's really getting there, I'm not sure if I should just pull my finger out and get it done, or take it steady and have it done for the next show season, there really isn't that much left to do.

Engine bay is starting to fill up.
Looking Great!
Well it's been an expensive month, I finally got to the stage where I needed to fit my Wilwood calipers, nothing to difficult, they weren't a perfect fit and some grinding to clear the hub knuckles was needed, but nothing to major, anyway once they was on I hit another snag
The revolution alloys I had wouldn't clear the calipers
these are supposed to be Motorsport alloys and I assumed they would fit as the Wilwood dynamite kit isn't a massive setup.
So I needed new wheels, I've always said I would never fit speedlines to my car, I do think they look nice, just far too common, but what have I done.
Aha, so not what you was expecting, I really like these and they clear the calipers fine.
So I had some Goodyear f1s fitted and put them on the car.
Hopefully the next update will be the engine running.
Gave the car a quick wash after I changed the wheels

What are the wheel sizes fella? I’m running these in 15x7 ET 45 I believe, clear my Alcons on a 285 disc no probs
The revolution alloys are 15x6 it's hard to explain in words but they was catching on the alloys closer to the lug bolts rather then the outside, if they was bigger say 270mm they would have fit. You can actually see in the picture of the brake where it has taken the paint off the caliper.
Yeah I understand, the inside of the wheel is slightly dished and the part of the calliper closest to hub touches the wheel. But if the disc was bigger then it would move the calliper further out and more into the dish of the wheel.
Let me know if you're thinking of moving those wheels on if they don't suit your needs.
I am actually thinking of selling them, PM me if your interested. They current have Nangkang ns2r 195 50 15 tyres and wheel and tyres have done zero miles, but had a few marks from being on the car
Look gorgeous, would also be interested if your not going to use them...
If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.
