I like the splitter, although id be interested to see either a clio or laguna splitter without the holes fitted, but the golf one looks wicked

Whats the bargain you have picked up?

[Minstral]

you will see tomorrow

plan on doing a service soon as well. got another bargain on ebay, brand new old stock oil filter from tompeters

[jonboisescort]

looking great mate

such i nicely modified fiesta mate

i have the same splitter on my escort

keep up the good work

[Minstral]

thanks
been having thoughts of getting rid of it but every comment i get is good so makes me keep it

[Minstral]

as ive said before i tryed to get these done for Ford Fair, the bloke did do them but finish wasnt great so i made him do them again. and turned out great this time.

ive gone for gloss black base plates just to try and break it up a bit.

not the best pic
the black is really sutble and works really well with the green.

just a pic with them and and looking clean for a change


also needed 2 new tyres for it to go through the MOT. wanted something that will grip more so i can get the best out of my coilovers.
So after much deliberation went for some Yokohama S-Drives.

on the way home with the slightly more tread on the wheels go loads of rubbage round the corners, so going tighten coilovers to the max. and after chatting with blade im probably going to put the new ones on the back then when the old tyres get low get some stretch on the front so i dont have any rubbage at all

[jonosi]

car is looking top there

where did you get the mirrors done and did it cost much?

[Minstral]

got themdone byaplacecalled Bay Side Customes, you guest it in Herne Bay. cost me £45 with the 2 different colours, is about £30 for all the same. took a while to get them back as the he recons they were previousypainted with hammerite

the bloke who owns it though is top bloke,always seems to beflat out, would use him again.

mine are the unpainted versions so i wonder if they would still cost the same to do?
may have to have a look into it
whereabouts in the bay are they?

[Minstral]

would costanything more i should think,he just has to sand them down to get rid of the textured stuff.

you know were the ford garage is, County Garage,. well opposite thattheres a 1 way road just go down there and its on the right.

no where you mean, 5mins down the road from the other halfs, cheers

[trecoll]

What are its new shoes then?

[Minstral]

still swapping tyres over mate. its taking ages [ERRR] im getting it all done for free. ill get pics up when their all on

[Minstral]

Right all tyres are swapped over now, with the yoko's on the front so handle's immense now. Main reasons for doing were that over every single bump was hitting the arch purely because i had to space them out over the brakes. I would love to keep them but needs must, and i want to be able to make the most out of my car not rubbing on every single bend.

So ive bought some RS 7 spokes diamond cuts in 15". there not in the greatest condition but i got them cheap and know after a refurb they wil be gleaming. think they have had laquer corrosion and one of the last owners decided to paint them so im stripping the paint to try and get back the shine so that its one job done for when they are refurbed.

this was how i was rolling around for about 3 weeks whilst the tyres were being swapped by a mate

two 15" on the front to clear brakes and some spare 13" pepperpots on the rear, looked awesome. that pic is half jacked up at the back so looks high.
these pics are taken from mine and henry's day out on sunday. first pics with all the wheels on. i do have the centre caps just got to sort them out first.







eagle eyed amongst you will notice there is no splitter on at the moment. was purely because i was getting so annoyed with the splitter scrapping and the wheels hitting had to get rid of one lot of noises

refurb will be on the cards in the next few months
more pics to follow from henry

[dontpannic]

Gotta admit I preferred the old wheels however new ones do look good - are you missing center caps?

Sorry about Sunday, I had no confirmation from anyone then my diary was filled with other things on the assumption nobody was around. Maybe next time

[Dave G fsi]

Looks awesome with those wheels on mate!

[Smo]

Toby! Your old wheels really made your car

[Minstral]

Burman

i do have the centre caps just got to sort them out first

Smo i do love em but just couldnt use them at the height im at. would have to make it higher to keep them, a lot higher and that's just no goning to happen. plus when these are sorted they will look good.

thanks dave will look tones better when they are refurbed

[hb69]

The old wheels were perhaps the greatest wheels for a mk3 ive ever seen, but the rs7's will look good if you do them in the colour we discussed on sunday. Besides, you can lower it soooooo much more on these wheels, proper scrapage

This man is talking my language

[YoungRogue]

dont go as low as me lol proper scrapage isnt all its cracked up to be lol

[Minstral]

dont go as low as me lol proper scrapage isnt all its cracked up to be lol

i get scrappage mate now. plus my splitter is going back on soon so even more

[bakewell001]

Scrappage is not fun...

I put 17s on the golf last weekend, and nearly destroyed the sill over a speed bump

The old wheels looked much better as i think the sharp edges of the new wheels don't really go with the rounded si bumpers. I think the compromise between a little higher and different wheels was a no brainer...

I'm sure you will make it look good somehow though!

[Minstral]

at the moment you cant tell what it will look like as the wheels arent it the best of condition. only in the dark is when you can actually see the edges.
to go higher on those wheels steve i would have to go about another 20mm higher which i dont want to do plus then you have to account for lean which affected me big time as i just couldnt get the full usage out of the coilovers.
its like a completely different car now though no bangs and can go however quick i want into a corner and it just sticks

[EUFez]

I prefer the old ones but these wheels are awesome, keeps getting better and better!

[YoungRogue]

i'll take a pic of how close my engine is to the ground lol, i smashed my alternator because its that low, wasnt even on a bump lol just normal road you say your local would be cool to come along with you and henry get some half decent pics of my car when its looking a little better

[Minstral]

dont look half bad now mate if its still like your sig

[trecoll]

Hmmm, I prefered the old wheels Toby!

[Minstral]

again i prefer the old wheels but until these have been refurbed. u cant tell what its going to be like. only at night as you can see the sharp edges of the wheels

[TIL13R]

They used to be my old wheels i was going to fit to DTR.... Let me know if they are for sale... im very intrested for my RS2000.....

Cheers

Tiller

[Minstral]

[jonyb4]

just been reading from the start, cars very ncie mate, loove your under body painting, its made me wanna do the same with mine, got a golf splitter on mine, but im glad its not catching on too much

any future plans atm? ill keep reading

[Minstral]

thanks mate.
plans are to finish polybushing the rear of the car and fit a second anti roll bar.
Refurb the new wheels
Re-fit splitter
and some other RS bits ive bought along the way.

[jonyb4]

oo how you gonna go about fitting the second arb? to the back i presume?, mine aint got one and ive been thinking about fitting one, but dunno if its easier to just buy a si rear beam, but then the suspension struts might not fit :S

[hb69]

thanks mate.
