Best of both worlds :)

Recommended Posts

I started one of these members build threads when i first joined but the thread is gone it seems, not that i got any further than the before photo. :) Well after photos coming soon, will still be some minor things i want to do but the bulk will be done.

 

Why best of both worlds, I am trying to sit somewhere firmly in the middle of being good on the track without too many ill effects on the road. Whilst i realise there are many more things i could do to improve the car on the track it is still a weekend and occasional evening car that i want to enjoy on the road. Hopefully i have found a happy balance with the parts i have chosen.

 

I know this thread is worthless without pictures, but they wont be far away, new boots are landed and on route, quick refurb with a little bodywork tidying and i will be back :)

No, at least spacers worked for me ;) Just wanted to get the wheels rebuilt after refurb to see exactly what size i needed rather than take a punt/guess. I ended up effectively with a 9j minus 4 offset, just a roll needed :) although was prepared to be either ordering some wider wings (1") or slightly smaller outer lip :)

 

A couple of before photos to get in the mood!

 

The day i bought it :)
