Heh, 6 ft and 13 stone, so I'm not a pie eater :D

 

You're a jammy barrrrrr staaaarrrd then is all I can say! My nearside rear catches and my fronts catch the arch liners occasionally. My local roads are very bumpy though!

 

Yours looks LOADS lower than mine..... and bloody nice :salute:

must be them cheap coilovers you have on yours :lol: the roads round here arent great, does get bit bumpy on the stiff kw's

cheers mate!!

:D

 

I use softer springs on my cheapy KWs, so that's probably why the wheels go for a little excursion in the arches :lol:

 

I have to say Mr Ben of the Big variety, yours looks best so far :D

 

Looking forward to seeing how well the mighty OSV wears it's new boots!

did anyone else weigh theirs apart from Kev? did he just get the heavy set?! :)

[OSV 0]

18.5kg with Dunlop SP9000 205/40ZR17

[Kevin Bacon 5]

If anything, the ET30 wheels will be heavier :lol:

 

Think mine were 19.3Kg with 215/40 Kumhos. Not sure my scales are any good though because moving them around the floor gave different readings. Need proper ceiling mounted fish weighing scales.

 

Anyway, took some more pics of mine last weekend with the camber tucked in more and it looks a fair bit better now, imo :D

Cheers! It's good for educating tailgaters that engine power is not proportional to exhaust size :wink:

your rite there i once got my ass handed to me in a standard vr by a vauxhall nover with a canoe on the roof it was definatly something turbo'd

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Calibra Turbo lump no doubt, or highly tuned XE on T bodies..... in an 800 or so KG car. A standard 1280ish KG VR6 stands no chance!

Will most likely be a C20LET, from a Cav/Calibra Turbo.

 

The fastest FWD 1/4 mile in the UK (or possibly the world) was Specky's (Vauxhall) Tigra which has a highly tuned C20LET

[big ben 10]

Is it too late to get a set at the special price?

 

:norty:

[big ben 10]

at the price we paid i would of thought so, but james might do you a deal. give him a ring if i was you

[Ben-B 0]

Like other Ben said, it's unlikely you'll get a match on the group buy price... but James did appreciate how smoothly things went with this forum, so mention you're from here and I'm sure he'll give you some kind of discount, even if only a small one

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Depends if they'll do them in 5 x 112 aswell....

[Pat_McCrotch 0]

I think they are drilled to requirements?

 

Shame yours aren't 5/112 Kev as I could've had them in 6 months when you buy another set :wink: :nuts:

[Pat_McCrotch 0]

Well they'll do them for me but at £800 I think I'll probably think of other ideas :(

has anyone come up with a solution to the centre caps for the Compomotives yet.. ?

 

as flush fitting centres would make them look soooo much better

just looking at the rears, do you get any scrubbing when the suspension compresses - my tt comps seems to have the same amount of clearnace from the wheel arch and i'm loathe to roll the arches or cut them back. I'll probably get a more rounded shoulder on the new tyres as Zak has suggested. Look very 8), btw.

not yet, but the hubs stick out at the back so flush is out of the question :(

 

need a borbet A type flat cap fitted in the middle :norty:

[panderoo 0]

Hmm not sure the hub will stick out on mine as there not from the MO group buy and the wheel centre looks really deep.

 

the quest continues
