Yep, i agree with you rob, maybe the wheels would look better in a different colour, but defo lose the lights, and paint the mesh black.

Hey Maz, yes they are Kei D2's mate, there not my cup of tea to be honest, so im going to look at swapping them for something else "anyone" ?

Ive got some Rota Gra's in the garage with 070's on, but they are 5x100pcd

The wheels are fine, and I don't mind the colour on this car, but I prefer other styles. I may get use to them, plus they could do with some better rubber on them, 2 are proxes and the other two are new budgets will need replacing asap.

I've sent a guy a pm on some blobeye lights, just awaiting a reply. Im not spending silly money on replacing them, but if a decent set of lights at a good price come up i'll swap them over.

Not sure about the mesh in black, I'll have a look on Google for some examples pics

Cheers Jura,

What colour do you think for the wheels ?

Will look into the mesh colour job.

I'm only running the car for a short time, then I'm breaking it so I shall not be spending much on it to be honest.

Few track days will be done, so I'll be looking at:

Front discs (not sure who and which)
Tyres
Oils and filter change (Banny)
Ecutek tweak for meth.

Few niggly bits, but other than that its staying fairly standard.



---------------------

Few more random pics I took whilst waiting for my kid to come out of a party today :

Hi Rob about the wheels,now i'm not sure,if you have GRA i would swap them for GRA,but if yours GRA are for 5x100 they will not fit,because this model i assume is 05 widetrack is 5x114.3

For front discs PM here Alyn@AS performance or Performance Friction,they will last on track and beyond.

About the Methanol you know this have sense(we are done on our one and we are gain almost 40bhp and 50lbs ft and now we have 490bhp)

Again looking like great buy Rob

I need some replacement lamps first pal. I'm not breaking it yet so I can sell them on without putting something up in place.

Hi Rob

Performance friction are good disc and mainly will last after few track days.Price is little bit above standard discs but worth every penny,we are considering put on wagon too

With meth and good mapping you can have above 360bhp+,you can use too Open source remap(i know you have Ecutek no,but you can use too OS without the problem)

About the wagon,we don't know Rob at moment,everything depends on few things,i will PM you later on

Cheers Jura,

The ecu is already ecutek licensed, so it might be cheaper to go this way. I would normally use Andrew Carr OS mapping.
