so yesterday I went for a drive and picked up some stuff
however not all of that is my stuff, this is my stuff
the big box holds a new windscreen, the little box contains the brakes for the gift wrapped series 3 rear end, so now my pcd is the same all round. A bonus was finding out the diff appears to have an LSD in it.
I utilised only the best measuring tools: a tape measure, stick and a piece of string to come up with some dimensions for wheels. and got some longchamps in 15x6.5 +18. intended to put these on the front so today did the mandatory test fit/ shitty photo op.
the lip sticks out a smidge, unfortunately I'm not a fan of tyre stretch and don't reaaaaaaally want to drag the guards out much so I duno. Also I want wider wheels on the back (so I can fit bigger feet) and the wider versions dont come in high enough offsets so was thinking of getting another pair of narrower ones and have new inner shells made up.
but meh, knowing me I'll probably change my mind on the wheels.
