Sorry mate, i'm 33 and work 6 days a week and have an 8-yr old son. I don't have time or inclination to go to cruises unless they are official and properly set up......

Dropped the wheels off for tyres, starting with a sensible 195/45/15" tyre, see how it drives. May downsize tyre at a later date...... Couldn't get anyone to fit 165 or 185 at such short notice...

Colour pics tomorrow/monday (?)
Getting there are you leaving the centre caps off ?
Yeah i will.... Didn't finish work until 6 tonight so I can't collect them tyred-up until tomorrow!!!!!
Looking forward to lush new Toyo's (?38 inc. vat each 195/45/15 including fitting/balancing/valves!)
Martin, 165's will go on a 7 1/2 wheel if you can find someone to do it. A guy who comes in work has them on a 7 1/2 BBS.....
F*cking hell-got a major problem. Look how close those calipers are to the wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lets see a pic of the car with them on mate.
bit close for comfort! but shouldnt be a problem?
Thats about how close my front calipers come to the spokes on my Kazeras. They've been on around three weeks now and not had any problems...
plenty clearance there lol
The biggest problem I have is the BTB Type c manifold is now less than an inch off the floor!!!

Done the wheels on the offside, just need to fit the nearside ones...... Then roadtest, and hopefully all will be well for Mart to collect his new wheels....
I'll be at Trax on sunday (Hopefully!! LOL!) as a guest on someone's stand.....
Biggest prob i've got now it the BTB Type C manifold less than an inch off the ground!!

Saw the wheels at Wheelbase when I was down there at weekend and thought I recognised them.
;)
**** me thats close.. isnt there any shield u can get made up? btw wha colour was/is your purple nova (no1 say purple cuz i no it is..) but i mean the name of it etc..
Green cars lookin mint... keep it up
Purple one was VW Violet Purpur, Paint code LC46P, special colour only available on VR6 golf highline and Corrado VR6/Storm.
Commonly mis-described as Blackberry or Mulberry.
Just waiting for the rain to stop so i can go out and do some more polishing/chrome/stainless stuff under the bonnet, paint some stuff, fit my MP3 stereo

It was Caribic Blue with a Kingdom (?)front bumper, Carisma wing and Celica GT4 bonnet vent (all cutting-edge stuff back then! LOL!)
wack a sump gurad on there! one on ebay at the mo ;)
Part X the exhaust manifold with me for a standard manifold - after all its only worth scrap value to you as it is !!!!!

Wooops.
Where did you get Toyos for ?38 fitted? Local tyre place?
I need a new set of 195/45's and toyos are about ?49 fitted round here.
Yeah, but that's a Rick price. Would cost you ?35+vat (?42 incl)
Still quite good.
Not as good as Ricks special price tho :(lol
