Anyone before I take the leap and order them. Cheers Tim

Ok been looking around and have found some Toyo Proxies in 195/40/16 at £53.60 each to go on the 7j at the front and 215/40/16 at £49 each to go on the 9j at the back. I am hoping that I will still get a good bit of stretch on these and that I will be able to fit them under my arches with very little if no work. Can some one confirm for me please as I really am lost with all these numbers and stuff :? . The fronts are 7j et35 and the rears 9j et15. Cheers Tim

Bloody gearbox...................................

I think I have narrowed it down to Dunlop sp9000 195/40/16 front and 215/35/16 rears. Any thoughts or can I get toyo proxies in this size? Ihavnt been able to find them for the rears :? Tim

I am still really not too sure if I like them or not. Havin said that after she gets paint I wil be getting one........ :lol:

Welcome fella, You should find everything you need to know about your c here. The search is great and if you cant find the answers someone will always know the answer :D

Did it take long to do the bolster?

Hi guys looking for some help :? I have just bought a new set of rims and want to make sure that I get the right tyres. Have been looking around on the internet for them and am nigh on stuck now. :scratch: :scratch: The wheels are 16's 7.5j et35 on the front and 9j et 15 on the back. I was trying to get toyos or another good brand all round in 195/40/16 and 205/40/16 for the rear to give them a nice stretch but cant seem to find them in this size. The fronts are ok but the rears I can only find in 205/45/16. Any thoughts or suggestions on tyres, brands and the best size to go for. As the car is going to get paint I can do some arch work if I really have to but would prefer not to....... Help as i really am very new to this, Normally just get the garage to sort the wheels out for me but am looking for something different this time :D These are the rims Cheers Tim

I have the same problem. meant to have a look whilst I had the interior out. But forgot :?

will get round to it soonish :D SWG cover fitted like a glove. 8)

Picture of the ebay gas lift bonnet strut, Is a bit on the large size and could make access to the battery quite hard but is so much better for working on the engine and just looks better 8) Also SWG scuttle cover and very dirty engine bay.......... It is a daily though :?

My spec is pretty much the same but have no cat :D And she rr at 180bhp last year. Unfortunally its seems not be an exact science and all depends on the engine and air temps etc. Best thing to do would get a session on a rr booked once you have fitted everything and see 8)

Its going to be hard........... :lol: But am holding out till all the bodywork is done and the leather has been sorted inside and she is looking all sweet then these will be the icing on the cake :lol: :lol: As long as they stay rubberless there will be no temptation. 8)

I dont think they are as the majority of cars in the states wre vr's or g's. Could be wrong though. Wouldnt be the first time :lol: Someone will clear it up over the next couple of days I am sure.....

All the info you need is here fella. http://www.dubdesignindustries.com/ Tim

I have had the same. Changed the pipe going to the fuel rail on the back left hand side of the head and today found another leak on a small piece of hose at the back right hand side of the head that is just a small u shape. This had been rubbing against the head and had a small puncture. Sorry I cant be any more descriptive as I aint got a clue about engines. :lol: Tim

Sweet. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh on monday.............

Just took delivery of a replacement bonnet as mine has a big dent in it. AND the bloody thing has been chipped by the couriors......................... :shock: Going to take it up with them in the morning but am not expecting much joy. However it is a million times better than mine and will be ok once painted. Its just the principle of it. Have they no idea of how hard these are to find in good nick nowadays. Not to metion the fact that I told them how rare they are :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Well the new rims are here. But they are staying safely locked up untill the respray is done :lol: 16" 7.5 front & 16" 9 rear 8) CANT WAIT TO GET THEM FITTED BUT HAVE TO :(

No idea then, Someone will clear it up though. Sorry for your loss though 8) You are lucky you had a spare :D

Really hope that aint yours. Think the seals have gone and basicly blown out through the casing. FUBAR..........sorry

Same. The bolts on the mount were well and truly seized though :?

I have a mate who used to be a sprayer. No cheeper than anyone else but I trust him to do a really good job. tbh I am trying to get him to start doing it again as he is really good but he finds it hard to get motivated :lol: There is a place called star autobodies in st erth who quoted me 1200 + vat. That I might use if I cant get derek motivated :lol: Jez has a mate who is doing paint on his at the mo. Could be worth chatting to him.

Yup tidies it up no end. I am dropping her off at RK on tue early to get the bushes done and the fmic fitted :lol: Should all start coming together in the next couple of weeks. New vr bonnet turning up tommorow and I finnaly got round to picking up those doors jez had kept for me... :? Next new wheels and paint 8)

NA they wont fit your VR but will my G60............................. Swap ya for my leather fronts :lol: Only kidding too much rum :lol:
