Dell'orto Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Dope, this car is lush. Please fit 14" wheels and wilwoods for max lols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Dope, this car is lush. Please fit 14" wheels and wilwoods for max lols 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Need to double check but I think they're 315mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 FDs run 16s stock but you miiiiight get the right set of 15s on depending on design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 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..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were cheap and plentiful, but then everyone blew them up because they were cheap and plentiful. So now they arent haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
