MMMMMMMM TH's are the muts :)

[imnobby]

MMMMMMMM TH's are the muts :)


how much do you reckon they are worth with decent tyres (im not looking to sell) i just wondered as you dont see many of them cheers again

[Adam]

Awesome wheels, very nice.

Whats the spec of the engine?

[imnobby]

courtney turbo conversion (150bhp) thats before the mods, uprated turbo t25, bigger intercooler, aqua mist, mantzel power box so im hopefully looking at about 180-190 bhp ish and it only the weight of a 1.6 what bhp you reckon i should be looking at?

[Adam]

Do you know what CR the engine is at?

Depends how much boost you run, a guy on mig had 252bhp from his 1.6 16v, and that had a T25 iirc.

[imnobby]

btw i did get me engine from a guy on mig lol dont think its the same guy tho

sorry to be ignorant but im not a top whiz with abbreviations what does CR mean and ill answer you if i can lol well to be honest i would like around 210bhp but i need to do more work than that to get there i think

[peester]

:-( me jealous much..

top stuff, luv the TH.. will get some one day.
1.6 16v turbs too..

[Dod]

I like those wheels more than the Comp MO's. I was always after a set of 15 or 16" ones but came across my MO's instead so I gave up.

[Jack]

Where did you get the graphics from btw? I'm sure someone was asking about where to find them a while back on here...

[craig green]

Whhels look great, engine should be in my car!

I reckon the wheels are easily worth ?400 with top brand tyres.

[imnobby]

i got the wheel stickers made up at a local shop i can get more made if some one is intrested in any colour of your choice so just let me know as it might help somebody out cheers ryan

[burgo]

CR= compression ratio

[Novaboyleon]

[imnobby]

ill take some pics when the car gets put back on the ground but as im working on the turbo pipework it may take some time lol does any one know of anywhere that makes custom silicone pipework?

[Novaboyleon]

try roose motorsport, or even samco

[imnobby]

Finally i get to see a pic of black TH's on a red nova! Ive been looking for many months. I managed to get some in 15"s off a rally car which are wrecked. Planning on spraying them satin black when i get round to a flame red respray. Good work mate!

Out of interest how much were the decals?

[Dod]

I got my Compmotives made at a graphics shop. e5 for 10 of them!!

[NovaLad]

Look nice.

I like the red stickers.

[lj]

looks sweet dude

are you sure (or crazy) im guessing you either know someone who works in the shop or the owner is stupid because they cost me £25 for 4 compomotive stickers and 4 motorsport stickers but im not complaining £25 and it changes the whole look of the wheel.

[imnobby]

new pictures as requested

[imnobby]

i know the car looks bit high at the front and too low at rear but i just put the suspension at what looked about middle and thats what it turned out like, so some adjusting will be taking place soon lol.

[Nobby]

[Jack]

[Ste L]

[matthew172]

wheels look ace, what profile tyres you running? and is there much room behind for say a set of wilwoods?

[Nobby]

they are running 50 profile as i cant find any tyres that are 185/45/14 or even 175/45/14 so ill have to stick with what i have got to be honest mate im running 2L brakes and there is about 5mm clearance so probably would not be able to fit bigger breaks behind the wheels but if you get 15 comp th's then i would think you could possibly get some decent breaks behind them,

[Huffy]
