Turbo boost

[Roman]

Sheesh I bet that thing's a bit of a laugh!

 

That's a lot of power for a light car.

 

Looks awesome man.

[Yowzer]

Those wheels though..

[kyteler]

Looks like it could do with some wider treads?

[Bling]

Beaut.

Something 15x8 rear, 15x7 frontwould be ideal Neil but yeah at the moment issue would be finding something to clear the FD's bulbous calipers. Can't go too overboard at the moment with changing things as the mrs will have a hernia but it's on the cards.

It made me happy in the face when I learnt you had purchased this. But I was slightly sad when you didn't make it to the track day. 50/50.

 

Bloody neat little car, that.

[Alistair]

Miso solly. Was always going to be pushing it but work and gearbox being gay really put the nail in the coffin for that. Ah well plenty more events to come!

Nah was more meaning little wheels for 5th gear rolling burnout abilities, the 17's actually look ok.

What size rotors does it run? Might struggle to get anything less than 16's on it

[Alistair]

Need to double check but I think they're 315mm.

[kyteler]

FDs run 16s stock but you miiiiight get the right set of 15s on depending on design.

Nice car , bit sad to see it go but been for a ride in it on a wet road....................my advice would be put two or even three pairs of undies on and a plastic bag.

 

Regarding the brakes , cant remember if they are 297mm version or the bigger. But series 4/5 discs are 278mm? and apart from the OD same profile etc. 

so either machine the od down on the Fd ones or just replace them with fc ones  and  remake the bracket to suit.

 

There are a few 15" wheels that fit over that however they require quite a bit of clearance on the backside of the wheel.

 

I am currently  modify some similar bmw rotors that are damn near the same which give a bit more caliper clearance.

 

Enjoy the machine , and post up some burnout vids.....

looks like a fun times machine. perfect setup, someones time and money indeed invested in this beast. 

[M Night Shamalayan]

I don't usually like 17s on little old cars, but this pulls them off very well.

Damn I'm jelly of this

[Threeonthetree]

Drum brake front end conversion plz

 

This thing looks like it would be an undie soiling machine.

Yeah, could be worse wheels, least they're Works and not Rotas/TBC/Linglongs

[Alistair]

Also, wow @ Toyota Tax on W series gearboxes now. If anyone comes across a decent priced W57 I'd be interested.

[xsspeed]

They were cheap and plentiful, but then everyone blew them up because they were cheap and plentiful.

 

So now they arent haha.
