savage bulldogs Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 You could have bought those 18's I was looking at for £400 and the tyre's had only done 1k mls [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Cheers dave, it's an enforced change so I didn't want to spend anything this month. But I didn't see the point of putting an old crappy tyre on a new rim & the tyres would have only lasted another couple of months. Stop it sav you're incredibly good at getting me to part with my cash, soon enough you'll have shares in my car [emoji16] The ofsets all wrong most annoyed at the fact that every other model has 55mm it would have fouled the rear struts I wanted to keep the stock look as much as possible, q car ish, just new lines pads & front discs then it's finished for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Totally off topic but.... Replacement laptop came today....they've only gone and sent one that would have cost more than a grand more than the one I ordered [emoji54][emoji41][emoji106] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Nur Spec fitted today sounds great :) I'm sure the peoples of my near by towns and villages beg to differ B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 New tyres on and the noise from the rear is still there so a visit to martin and dave on the 13th is due. On another note I changed the arb bushes last week checked them and there seems to be a gap now [emoji35] I measured the bar at 19mm so no idea why they are not fitting properly, may just shave a bit off the cutout to make then smaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majik_thighs Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Mine was growling it's head off for a few weeks so yours should be ok. The last front one I had done had eaten itself. Sent from my Galaxy S 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaulson Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Been working on the sub tonight, fitted the fuel flap and removed the broken bumper to reveal a bit more damage but nothing too bad. Also looks like the dents in the rear quarter can be rolled out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Glad to see it's coming together (well sort of) How long do you think till you've got boost not burble back in your life bud ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaulson Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Its all down to the body shop guy but I'm hoping a couple of weeks. I just need to swap the doors and wing over before i send it there. Probably do that tonight or Friday then get in touch with the guy. Either before it goes or when its back I need to strip the calipers and replace the seals. Also got 4 new tyres to go on my 18's, new valves and wheel nuts. Then the final addition is the spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Those the silver droplinks nick ? Can't believe they charge an extra 30 quid to have them gold. Checked my bushes again today and now with the wheels hung on there is no gap?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
