Well glad i made it to billing again this year, best show of the calendar imo! car will need a little tlc as i hadn't cured the fuelling fault before i left, making it a sh*t to drive at times. (hmm twin carbs needed Lol) I'm in 2 minds over the wheels too, as it feels awful on the road, and will perhaps have to re-think. Although they look good, the driving experience is naff. Thanks to all of those who took pics of may car, appreciated!

[peester]

hmm.. i didnt get to ask you about yours when i saw u @ billing.. did kinda wonder with the stretched/banded combo - i think if you'd have never ran the car on those previous steelies you wouldnt know how 'nicer' it can feel to drive..
summat to discuss @ national day..?

I did look out for you matey - saw the car, not the owner

Imho, those wheels dont seem to 'work as well as they should... that, twinned with teh fact it drives like a pig on roller skate, I say ditch em!

I think for the wheels to work properly it needs to go lower

They look awsome just needs to be decked a bit more

Hey will, yeah shame we missed one another, some other time!
Do you know will, i have to whole heartedly agree with you here. In hindsight, i should have gone an inch wider with them, coupled with the fact that i can't get any better "fitting tyres". believe it or not the gaz's are on the bump stops at the front, and to go down further at the rear i'm going to have to do some serious arch mods. I may bite the bullet and sell them on, and re-fit the 6x13 ats with the 175/50/13s that i trialed earlier on in the thread. They still look old skool enough for me, and the car will handle loads better.

Thanks for the pic dec! good to chat to you, and really chuffed for you for your win. Thouroughly spurring me on to make a start with mine. (which incidentally i bought off will!) Lol at me looking like i'm going to a mid 90's rave in the pic too!

Dave, yep definately a topic for more discussion!

[vaughanmc]

If you had to sell them mate how much would you be looking for ?
