the dodgy looks magnet :P

oh! thanks dude, yeah im definately gonna leave the arches off ive got replacement cl side trim on already but i colour coded them cos i thought it looked classy haha!
glad you like the keskins im a bit sick of them now though the fake bolts keep falling off lol! im looking for a change some time soon. tbh i want yours

Looking sweet dude.

YES MATE i am likin the cleanNESSSSSSS

get some more pics up i need a rear shot!

and i agree PAPA'S wheels would ROCK ON DAT

rear shot isnt that great really, i think i need to run it lower a tad to get it how i want, but ive already managed to smoosh the sills into oblivion, anyway your wish is my command..


and some of these

ignore the prat at the bottom my girlfriend took the shots haha

yess!! looking good!!!

i like!

first time i looked at this thread, from the 1st pic it looks ace now! a while to go till it looks like that insiration pic tho!

haha thanks for reminding me of that dude... thinking of going a different route with it now i want 928's now but i might grow out of that, too much choice. i should be getting smooth bumpers (i hate my indicators!) if the guy ever gets back to me but its not looking too promising at the moment. and cant decide on what i want to do to the boot at the mo.
vr transplant may be on the cards if i ever get in gear. the 8v aint runnin to hot at the mo. it seems to judder like its misfiring but only when turning right?!?! baffles me.. but its an excuse eh haha!

sweet ride dude

mate.................youve transformed this car!, it looks great -nice one





just need the nice weather to roll on...................

tell me about it i cant wait to get the bloody roof down now its gonna be lovely in the summer. and il be able to work on it without getting frostbite which hould be a treat!

woop woop! i got new wheels. waiting on spacers and tyres.
i got 928's hope they sit right
i wanted to ask, can you use adapters plus spacers.. or am i asking for death.

Well pleased for dude!! love 928,s they 1 of my fav porka rims, wait til you get the adapters mate which you,ll get easily from E38 then have a play about, but that judderin prob when turning right sounds like something maybe catching on the fuel lines... get someone to sit in the car and turn the wheel to the right, as you look in under the bonnet look down and see if your fuel lines are getting pinched or squashed by the steering set up...

thanks so much for that papa, i never even thought about the lines, it stalled again today while turning sharply and the steering has started to creak so im extremely hopeful it is that, as i thought it may have been a filter or some such nasty.. il give that a try tomorrow

i cant wait to get the wheels on now im aiming to get it looking respectable enough to turn up to a job interview with without getting turned away at the door haha

could be rotary valve (i think its called that!??) in power steering system (its the valve which 'ups' the revs when u put the pump under strain - like when turning ) so if its faultly it wont increase the revs when turnning hard and can cause the car to 'judder' like its being starved of fuel but also cause it 2 cut out if the revs drop too low.

.............or it could be something else like the pump playing up

no problems with the lines as far as i can see this rotary valve sounds an interesting option, but the thing is even if i try to up the revs myself by giving it some the hesitation is still there. unless my foot is off the accelerator or flat down on it then it goes away (replaced by horrible understeer i might add )

random question? will R-tec strech tyres, i see they have a sale on and have heard they do good prices. failing that does anyone know of a good tyre place where i wont get bummed

car went poo poo the other day. cylider number 4 got tired and decided to have a nap on the way back from canterbury. that was a nice relaxing drive

yes i believe r tec will stretch tyres.

awesome, il have to pay them a visit when my car stops bankrupting me

just a warning bout r-tec mate,not saying don't go there but just warning ya cos they fu**ed my car.All I wanted was them to change tyres and wheels over for me,yet they managed to break my parcel shelf clip so my parcel shelf doesn't sit properly and break my door lock on 1 side.

My other mate's hada bad experience with them aswell.But like I said just to warn ya mate,maybe just keep an eye on your car or give it a check over when its done

cheers for the heads up man, i wont be letting them loose on the car so no worries im just gonna take the wheels to them and tell them to slap some tyres on.
i trial fitted the wheels the other day too. does anyone know where i can get a giant allen key mabye 15mm to go on a socket set the adapters are allen key holes..

pics

im worried that it looks a bit underwheeled
this shows them a bit better

hello jake what u doing with the old wheels?

what do you mean by that???


i think both sets look great


wait until u put ur tyres on , it'll fill the arches better and u'll get the 'bigger picture', mk3's always look good on 928's
