[N1 RRK]

Haha yeh it's been a while been mega busy with work etc so not spent much time in guildford recently will try and get along to a gford meet soon and catch up.

Project wise looking at a Westfield with s2k engine and running gear or a s1 elise with the civic type r lump in.

Depends on how cheaply i can get hold of an elise really seen one for 5k recently, hoping there maybe a few more high milers about in the winter going cheap as i will strip it back to the bare tub and rebuild it track spec.

[redmk1]

[cantfindausername]

Holy p00 pants batman!!! Where did you come from!! Haven't heard from you in ages

Rob if you bring that Nazi saloon to a trackday i organise i will happily run you into the barriers!!

Whats this project then??

When are you arranging a track day for you scutter?

[2Crooky]

Will try and arrange something in April/May......

Either an airfiled/aerodrome - Dunsfold/North Weald or something at a track. Brans maybe??

[cantfindausername]

dammit. Don't want to do one before I go to europe

[2Crooky]

[cantfindausername]

31st May we depart, and get back on the 8th I think.

[Antstarr]

Did some1 say brands track day? Ill come my turbo can handle it now mwuhahaha

[2Crooky]

You mean your making more than 180bhp this time???!!!!

[Harry]

Cheers mate To be honest, i've got sick of the whole "polish my ride till my nob falls off!!"


I try and keep her clean but i'm just not gonna fart about with big bodykits or making sure every inch of her is spotless.....

Ha ha ha ...FPMSL...ROTFL...LMFAO... ...one of the funniest I have read In a while!

[2Crooky]

Got my Advans through today

£280 for 8" front and 9" rears with all legal tyres......

Only bummer is they are 215/40/17 all round!!!!!! Yes i know!! 215 on a 9"!!!!!!

Oh and got the front bumper off.....

[Harry]

Look good Alex, Are they about a 30-35 offset? Which car would they have been fitted too? Which tyres are on?

[2Crooky]

The tyres are pretty budget ones tbh but have loads of tread left and thats what is important for MOT!!

They came off an SXOC members car...a 200SX S14a

Offsets i was worried about but they are perfect!!!!!!

Front offset is 32 on an 8" alloy.....

Rear offset is 38 on a 9" alloy.....

The rears just look a little more tucked away because the rubber is soooo stupidly stretched

[Antstarr]

Did some1 say brands track day? Ill come my turbo can handle it now mwuhahaha

Errm yea 300!! My Fuel pump was knackered hence the reason for low figures before lol

[cantfindausername]

sweet dude! You can do my bum per when I need to get it off

Those rears are insane, like a massive euro style lol

[2Crooky]

Once i have burnt out the rears i will show you the wheel off the car before getting my new tyres....The stretch is unbelievable!!!!!

I like a stretched fornt tyre so will probs go for a 205 front and a 245 rear.....

Yeah i can help you get your font off

Done it to about a dozen cars now so its routine...Just ap00 load of bolts!

[cantfindausername]

It won't be for some time yet mate. I thought my rears were stretched but yours takes the p1$$, guess I've just got a bigger rear than you.

[Leon.]

Will try and arrange something in April/May......

Either an airfiled/aerodrome - Dunsfold/North Weald or something at a track. Brans maybe??

Deja vou

[N1 RRK]

Sounds good mate although taking bumpers off is going a bit too far for light weight

I could be up for a trackday in may. I have just refurbed a set of bbs splits for the beemer so going to put on decent tyres could probably hold of selling the m3 wheels until after a trackday & demolish those tyres !!!!

Will be back in the guildford area over easter weekend so if anyone fancies a bank holiday monday run out somewhere??

[2Crooky]

Which weekend is easter weekend??

Should be up for that
