i used these as i had them lying around from a previous set of wheels. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170502466801?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 you would have to figure out how much you need to space the wheels to give comfortable clearance and get bolts the correct length to suit

i had a similar issue today. I wanted to have slightly less dish than my Borbet A's had so went from ET 15 to ET 30 and found not a lot of clearance between the tyre and suspension... ended up having to space all my wheels 5mm to avoid hitting
-
ummm... I think youre going to need some spacers as it is the mounting face that is fouling. raising or lowering the ET of a wheel just moves the mounting face and 'spokes' inside the rim, these generally move together giving more or less dish. I would look at some hubcentric spacers and longer bolts to move the mounting face away from the hub thus moving the 'spokes' away from the brakes

Just seen you post about et fitments. The et number relates to how far the mounting point is from the centre of the rim. For example a 10j rim with et 0 the mounting point will be dead centre (128mm) from the inner face of the rim As the number goes up the mounting point moves closer to the outer face of the wheel. A 10j rim with et 30 the mounting point will be 30mm closer to the outer face (158mm). Hope this clears things up in chosing the correct et and width combo

Got the new shoes fitted :) Needs to come down a touch to lose a little arch gap. Gave it a complete wash polish and wax. Also tidied up the bay a little And it's nearing another milestone Also had a little visit from subcool... Wasted about an hour or so talking all things corrado whilst i waited for the polish to set

If they only made G60's for 1 year does that make mine even rarer by being a 1992 ??? :D

get a small flat blade screwdriver under the old one then use some long nose pliers to get a grip on it

I have been looking into the exact same thing. After a few hours in the pub with a friend who is a race engineer for Aston Martin, he recommends fitting a 4 point injection system into the runners on the inlet manifold for best cooling effect and running water only as the meth will strip the bores of their coating. He also recommended having it triggered by the WOT switch as it will cut off as soon as this is released and doesn't rely on boost pressure. Doing it on boost pressure could result in the mixture being put into the system on deceleration and cause issues

cheers buddy... see yours lurking under archway outside youre house sometimes... first time i spotted it all i saw was a cheeky headlight :D
-
After killing one of my Borbets, i have been trying to track down a replacement. Seems every person i have approached either wants crazy money or will not post to the uk. Until i can afford the full works on my damaged rims i have found a decent stopgap. WATCH THIS SPACE.... should be here within a few days

Looks like the remainders of some rad weld

Bonnet and front bumper 99p each Was local too so collected them in the rado. Bonnets do fit in the car just a bit of a squeeze to get it in. Headlight switch for 99p as the seller couldn't find the sunroof motor :)
