Alrightt, my names Martin, I've hijacked Cat's laptop for a bit.
She looks at alot of porn.
Anyway, I wanted your opinions on my cav's new wheels.
Me and a few mates painted them last week.
What do ya think?

Blark. Not keen on the wheel, but at least in black its less obvious lol
Erm theyre round and have rubber on them.....?
Not an overly great choice of shoe for a cav, GSi slabs or cesaros are much better but imo, a cav needs bigger shoes to fill the arches, 17"s are man wheels for a cav lol
My opinion = they're awful.

Proper sized boots on a proper bodied Cav (4dr) FTW.
You get extra points cos it's a dirty derv, and I know Isuzu motors love cherry and chip fat lol.
You still plan to 5 stud her dude?

i've got the second one, on a j plate, the first one was the 1.6 turbo, rather than the 1.8 turbo's we have:thumb:
these are proper sleepers, the amount of people that have lost to me, because they simply heard the exhaust but didn't know about it is unreal lol
that is a real bad pun, you should be ashamed lol
they always have problems, mines got a dodgy gearbox at the mo, but its coming off the road when the nova goes on, hoping to get 400bhpish per ton out of it, needs a gt4 gearbox conversion before putting that power out though lol
Oh and back on topic the wheels look dog muck

Ah yeah, I was trying to think what size engine the mk1's had!
Hers is a J plate too J***OKR - and the fcuker is always laughing at us for repairing it lol.
Yours sounds awesome mate! Gearboxes are a weak point aren't they lol Didn't know you could fit a GT4 box, I thought you just had to be content with mashing the OEM one all the time lol
This one was chosen as a fresh import and we went to Felixstowe from the north east twice so she could buy it lol. Reams of JDM service history and a very very clean car. That didn't stop it blowing the HG on the way home then her frying the bearings in the turbo then being stolen/recovered though did it! lol
My mate, her bf has just been doing the valve stem seals as it was like following James Bond! I know what you''re saying about them being underrated.
I want pics of yours :) :thumb:
