Cheers! I'm not 110% sold on them either to be honest. Will most likely replace them at some point in the future, however want to spend some money on the suspension first. I can deal with the 5 spokes for now if it means I can throw some coilovers and sway bars on.

Hi.. Nice car.

I agree the wheels aren't the best looking wheel out there BUT I have seen them finished in black / dark grey and they look considerably better. Just a thought.

Nice motor mate and as stated above maybe powdercoating the wheels to a darker colour would be a good option. I quite like them :-)

Default Coilovers!

Just put my order in for a set of BC Racing RM Series coilovers. Woop!

Ordered them from ImportCarParts.com and should recieve them towards the end of next week, so looking forward to that.

Tomorrow, the order will go in for the 22mm extra heavy-duty Whiteline rear anti-roll/sway bar and Summit front strut brace from Revolution247.com.

Still waiting for the Agency Power shift **** and Hella Supertones in the mail. Should have them both by early next week.

It's all going on!

A couple of weeks ago RN Golden had a set of 330s alloys f/s. Wanted £200 for them, they might still have them. If you want them ring Lee in Parts (Say Steve told you about them).

Smile UPDATES!

Couple of updates today.

Fit the Agency Power shift **** and recieved the Whiteline rear anti-roll/sway bar in the post.

Will wait until I recieve the BC Racing coilovers and Summit front strut brace before fitting them and will do it all in a one-er maybe at the end of next week.

Couple of pics for now though:

Default Coilovers!

Look what arrived today!



Set of BC Racing RM Series coilovers. Happy days. That means I now have these, the Whiteline sway bar and (once it arrives) the Summit front strut brace to fit. Am away all next week, so will hopefully get them on week after next.

Also recieved a pair of Hella Supertones yesterday which will be going on at the weekend. Wait out for pics of those.

Still haven't fit the HEL braided brake lines yet either. Probably get round to that early next month. Not enough hours in the day at the moment!

Default Strut brace.

Have spent pretty much all weekend working on my mate's Boxster (fitting new wheels, detailing it, re-painting brake calipers, polishing exhaust, etc.). However, managed to do a couple of little things to the Scooby.

First, wrapped the grille moustache in a gloss black vinyl. I'd previously painted it, but the paint hadn't settled right and the vinyl now looks miles better. Also, I fit the Summit front strut brace:



What I'd also attempted to do but failed (over-estimating my electrical abilities) was fit the Hella Supertones. I underestimated the electrical modification and parts required to complete the job. Will attempt to fit them at a later date when I'm more prepared (or more likely pay someone to do it ).



All times are GMT +1. The time now is 01:15 PM.
