Miximus Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 Finally got around to taking the Mildew Stricken Boot carpet out and washing it! ripped all the old Insulation/padding crap out and replaced it with Carpet underlay which i cut out to fit, cleaned in and around the Spare Tyre well (32 years worth of dust and dirt) and then put it all back in :) so now i have a nice clean boot! tehehe (only thing is i broke the Trim clips for the backs of the seats when i pulled it out but they can be replaced) here's some Pics Quote
Miximus Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Bought some new wheels this week (not for my car but thought i'd share...) They are a Set of 4 Chevoit Turbo Wheels in 13x6JJ 4x110 - 0 Offset (Pics Below) basically me and some mates from another Club are Building a Sound car from an '83 G11 Charade. i saw these wheels and knowing we needed some thought why not get them. so Thanks to Andrew from Southside suspension & Mechanical for the wheels i got a Great price (i think so anyway) so far i have De-greased the wheels and hit them with the Gurnie to get rid of flaked old paint and dirt etc and i have Test coated one of them in Satin Black Heavy Duty Outdoor Paint. Plans are to Polish off the Writing and Lip etc to get the Polished Silver/Black look thats kinda "in" at the moment but here's the progress so far. Edited February 7, 2011 by Miximus Quote
Miximus Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Posted January 29, 2011 Another update on the wheels: Cleaned off the Excess paint on the Lip, Spokes & Writing today. here's a rough idea of what i want. Quote
Miximus Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Test fitting some 15x6.5 SSR Meshies tomorrow night (2 are +20 offset and the other 2 are +10) my mate bought them from another mate for his S13 which got written off by and energex truck running up his bum.. hope they fit well cause i'm pretty keen on them! heres a pic on the previous owners integra Edited February 2, 2011 by Miximus Quote
19914afc Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) they shouldn't be too bad, but will not sit flush not with that offset... but you could get a new outer make up to fill those guards and have hellaflush wheels! Edited February 2, 2011 by 19914afc Quote
Miximus Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 they shouldn't be too bad, but will not sit flush not with that offset... but you could get a new outer make up to fill those guards and have hellaflush wheels! yea i tried them on today, the offset was different to what i was previously informed, 2 of them are +32 and the other 2 are +20, which if i was to flip would need the guards rolled and flared... big time haha, but i love the look and i'm getting them from a mate for a great price for all four and 2 with half decent tyres. should be mine in the next 2 weeks, then i will polish up all the outer rims and repaint the centre's Gold :) Quote
Miximus Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Posted February 7, 2011 here's one of the Chevoit Wheels painted and on the G11 Charade before rolling the guard. Not much to update on my car... dropped a mad skid last night tho :P very keen to get my Exhaust done soon so ill start saving for that!! Quote
Miximus Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Posted February 9, 2011 Bought my SSR's today! :) (Wednesday) I will take some Pics in the morning. 2 are already on the car and the other 2 are yet to be painted & polished + have tyre's fitted :D Quote
Miximus Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Posted February 9, 2011 Here's Some pics of the Meshie's Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) No Dish :( FLIP THEM! Edited February 10, 2011 by Spencer Quote
Miximus Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 No Dish :( FLIP THEM! the two that are on the car will stay as they are for the moment... but the other 2 are yet to be painted and polished and i will test flip one of them and see how well it fits the car they are probably a better option to flip becaise of the lower offset Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Yea agreed , they will be huge neagtive but still :) Quote
Miximus Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Swapped the Meshie's onto the front which is kool, give me a much bigger track (wider tyres plus 10mm spacers) but only thing now is that its very obvious my Control Arm Bushes need replacing :bash: steering is all over the place sometimes. I also got an almost full roll of 35% Window tint that my housemate didn't need anymore so ill be putting that on the side windows soon :) Edited February 13, 2011 by Miximus Quote
19914afc Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 needs better offset! and lower! haha. Quote
Miximus Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Posted February 13, 2011 needs better offset! and lower! haha. yea i have been pricing up new Struts & King Springs as well as after other bits and peices Quote
