SOLD

Good meeting you mate, just before the flexi's started blowing their tits off down the M25 

They'll fit, but id say you'd probably want 20mm spacers to make them sit in the arches properly..

Some nice mods - like those wheels

 

Keep up the good work

 

Cheers. Wheels we're a tough choice whether i went black lips or not, but im pretty chuffed with the outcome with the gold hardware.

edit: On the note of the wheels... When the tyres went on, one of the valves snapped, so typically, noone stocked 6mm valves, so i had to order some off ebay, so it put it back another 4 days or so getting them fitted... But, fingers crossed, there shouldnt be any more problems with getting the wheels on!

Plate holder looks smart, where did you source it from? 

Cheers, if you check out boltsbolts.co.uk they sell them there

Plate has been in the upright position at all times, have spoken to several police officers, showed them it operating, they said aslong as its always in the upright on the public road they see no problem with it whatsoever.

Thought they were illegal ?

illegal to lift and lower it on the road to avoid police/camera's? Naturally.. But then, if its constantly up, i can't see where the problem arises, its just a right angle bracket...

I mean, fitting decat is an MOT fail, so technically thats not road legal, right? And what about the other hundreds of mods we do that is technically illegal? 

I think the main thing comes down to how its used, if i took the p*ss and was running around with it down, police pull me over and i put it up as they're following me? yeah, id imagine they'll have something to say about it, but ill be running with plates up at all times, then if i'm at a meet/show, ill put them down, can't see any real problem.

Theres no way to even tell its on a retractable bracket with it sat in the upright position... 

Small update, but probably one of my favourites so far.... No more need to have ugly numberplates stuck on the front when parked up.

Tyres turned up today, so wheels go on tomorrow!

edit: No idea why the video came out so large and like it was taken by a potato... Maybe im getting old and technology isnt my strong point anymore 

Anyone up for it?

10j et0, aggressive fitment no doubt for the front axle. Coming together nicely pal!! 

The front isn't as aggressive as id imagined tbh, wont need much to get it tucking at all, and the rear is pretty much perfect as it sits.

Just need to get the tyres on, fit the adjustable arms and play about till its perfect 

We have progress! A big step forward..

Coilovers are on, wheels test fitted, need another inch on the back and 2 on the front to get it sitting where i want but that will come when the arches are rolled and ive got the tyres on and ready to go.... Butt, some teaser pics..

Not sure i could have picked the offset any better, may need a 2mm spacer front as its a bit close to the caliper for my liking, but the look the wheels give the car couldn't be closer to what id imagined if i tried...

Another of the ex Almera gang! i bumped into Flamera Andy a month or so back actually.

So clean though, so so clean. Im in awe of the free time you have to clean it in all honesty!

Pretty glad i went for the gold bolts to give them some contrast, coilovers go on tomorrow, then test fitting to see what kinda stretch i need, then there may be some worthwhile updates!

Tbh, im over the moon with the contrast between the satin and the gloss, should add a real aggressive stance when they're on

ooh nice rims, what kolor are going to be after the re paint? 

Going gloss black lips, Satin black faces with gold hardware, should match up with the brembo's nicely.

Is this the one that’s too noisy for most people? My centre box has a blow so this could be a temp fix till I get rich enough for a invidia

Guess it’s time for some proper updates...

19x11 ET0 Rear, 18x10 ET0 Front.. they’re off to paint and should hopefully be on in the next week or so.

im planning a day of coilover fitting tomorrow hopefully then the toe/traction/camber arms so I can get it setup perfectly. 

Its been a bit of a wait for the wheels to turn up but now it’s kicked me up the ass a bit to start clearing out the pile of parts that I’ve been collecting over the last few months 

I always worry when i get below 30psi on idle, this has helped reassure me 

excited to see this.... Ive got coilovers, but ive been considering air cups if i have a nightmare with the height i wanna be
