I did toy with the idea, maybe some from a GTE painted in the same colour as the origional 13" ones. (if i can find a clean set!) ;)Quote:

RFXs coming soon, watch this space!
Looks in really good nic for an sr, personally I'd go for the sr 3 spokes over steelies. Other than that it looks ace! :thumb:
only got the steels as the 3 spokes wont go over the 16v brakesQuote:

3 spokes can be made to fit, you just need to shave the callipers until you have the clearance. :thumb:
id rather not do any shaving of the calipers. They are as they are for a reason and so i wouldnt mess about with them
i have some of these awesome rims :DQuote:

Sounds awesome mate, the engine looks very neatly installed too, well done!
its taken over a year lol
ive taken it for a little spin and im very happy with it.
does put a little guff out when you give the throttle a good blip but its gettign better the more its run. I put this down to the fact the engine hasnt been run for a while.
(the smoke isnt blue which is a good sign)
Nice work mate.
Engine does look well in there, very neat conversion indeed.
Just a quick update. Fitted the RFXs finally after having them blasted and painted Glacier white. Im well happy with the result as this is exacly the look a wanted :- Old Skool Cool.
Now i just need to get a few little bits tidied up on the body and put some orange indicators on.

Some shiney nuts would look well. Looks proper old skool. How's it performing?
Its going great. Ive done 1000 miles in it now since the engine was fitted and im going to give it a good service next weekend. The sump gasket has also started to weep so ill be doing that as well.
The best thing about it is the looks and comments you get from complete strangers.
Bit of shaving never killed anyone ~ that like saying o.e cylinder heads "are the way they are" and shouldn't be improved
That conversation was in July last year lol
looks well m8:thumb:
Looks very good fella
I'd raise up that front number plate a wee bit so it covers the red pin stripe in the bumper, would make a heap of difference to the front end
:thumb:
it is a lovely motor this one like!! i thought you may have been doing more to it with the thread been mooved up!
Looks great in the last pic.
