Got my new wheels delivered today $\:D/$

Enkei Racing S, 7x16et35 fronts and 8x16et38 back.

Need to get some new tyres for the back I was told they came with 225/45/16 but thet are 225/55/16 they look like balloons the profile is huge.

I like the Red anodized lip with the black centres. I dont think I've ever seen a set like em so I'm pretty chuffed with em.

Heres a sneek peak i'll get some more pics up when there fitted.

I dont understand how people can put crazy profiles on em it just looks wrong.

The cars getting there just a couple more things to change on the oudside and then it it'll look exactly the way I want it, I think i'll be looking for a few carbon bits soon

Just got my new turbo today thanks 2bornot2b

Its an MR2 CT26 with the cold side from a CT26A off a supra. You can see the impeller is a bit bigger on the CT26A. With this combination of turbo's it will now hold boost to redline and should shift a little bit more air.

Heres some pics for future reference

CT26 MR2 Left and CT26A Supra on the right.

Glad it got there ok

Got my CT26A all fitted with a new thermostat and a full service.

The CT26A seems to take a bit longer to spool but when It gets to around 4k seems to pull alot stronger Plus it holds 1bar to redline no problem

Got my Apexi GT Fitted now, It's so loud I didnt think It was gonna be this loud

Sounds really nice on full chat plus it pop's bangs and spits a few flames out

Also got my carbon rear panel fitted

And got my Omori boost gauge intalled in the stock position, I wanted a black one but this was £30 brand new in its box so couldnt turn it down.
It takes a while to do but I think its worth it.

And a random pic after a quick clean between the snow showers.

Cheers mate, Im currently refurbing the rims so the red (pink) part will be poished alloy instead, I've started the back one just takes time but you get the idea.

I'm still using em till I can afford to get some new ones

Gave the wheels a bit of a clean up today just polished the outer edge of the wheel and left the inside anodized red as I've grown to like it now as its a bit different.

I think there alot better with a silver lip. Before was a bit too much red.
Still got the balloon rear tyres though

Also got my new front bumper on over the weekend as mine was cracked on the bottom and the splitter was fubar'ed, Plus changed the badge for a Black MR-S one.

good job with the wheels dude.....keep it custom....

calipers let down the whole wheel area tho, paint those babies up!

Bit of a change around

The enkei's have gone and replaced with stock REV2+ wheels with 205/50/15 Proxies T1-R and 225/50/15 Proxies T1-R rear.

I must say the car handle's loads better with stock wheels on I was gonna use em till something better came along but now i'm gonna keep em after the difference in handling.

I will be keeping the car pretty much stock on the outside just gonna paint all the side strip's and splitter gloss black to match the paintwork and thats it exterior will be finished.

Then its time to start saving for my engine re-build gonna be a real sleeper

Gone back to rev2 lights as I decided I didnt really like the rev3 look.

Also got my Motoria exhaust fitted, which is much better quality than I was expecting only issue was with the centre mounting point which needed moving a bit to line up, Sounds almost exactly like the GT spec only a bit quieter.

Changed my seats over from cloth to Half leather/alcantara but havent got any pics yet.

Heres what it looks like now.
