Macdaddy 10 Posted July 31, 2012 I suspect 195/40 would be fine rather than pushing it with 185. Are you going to be on the club stand at Tatton Steve? Ok i'll look at that tyre size, i was a bit lost tbh. Yes i'll be at Tatton but not sure if i'll have them done for then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C5 OEM 0 Posted July 31, 2012 get ready to roll and flare the arches then, think the thinnest adapters are 16mm....? or re drill....? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macdaddy 10 Posted August 1, 2012 Think it'll be spot on with the right stretch on the tyres, The test fit didnt appear to cause problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macdaddy 10 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Keeping this upto date with a few pics from Tatton at the weekend. Few changes coming........fingers crossed before Harewood. Edited August 7, 2012 by Macdaddy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James. 9 Posted August 7, 2012 Tres bon. The second shot makes the 8v's paint look almost presentable. I'm a massive fan of your D90's, but keen to see the new rolling stock. How did you get on with your under tray ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How did you get on with your under tray ? Ordered the bits i need from the Stealer Dealers yesterday so hoping to collect today and refit over the weekend. grand total of £2.40 spent on screws and clips...... the jigsaw begins.

Macdaddy 10 Posted August 13, 2012 Wheels update (or lack of) Freshly painted centres briefly collected before noticing they'd sprayed the centre caps the wrong shade to match the car and the rest of the centres silver instead of Blackberry....... FFS !!! So, wheel build/fitting delayed so its going be very tight to get these done for Harewood now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macdaddy 10 Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) After much messing about and many blisters on my poor fingers the wheels finally went on for Harewood. Not had chance to set the coilovers correctly and the tyres need some more stretch but they went on to give me the idea of how they look anyway. Also went back to UK plates as just prefer the look at the minute. Not happy with how they sit at present however I popped across to collect some bits from Gareth (OSV) this evening and ive now an idea of how to have these set up just right so thanks Gareth!

Macdaddy 10 Posted September 2, 2012 Not any changes to report, But i want to keep the thread/blog updated. Still not sorted the new tyres yet but there's now no rush as there isnt any shows left really...Plus its almost winter wheel time!!! (winter wheels tbc) Firstly my favourite pic from the recent Unphased photoshoot meet: Drove down to VW-Action yesterday at Santa pod and entered the show and shine, Great show btw and always nice to come away with a trophy!!! O0 O0 O0 Oh and one of it at the show taken on my iphone as i was too lazy to take pictures, Much preferred to watch the drag cars ! B) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 9 Posted September 2, 2012 The first of many I would think. Wheels look great and the first picture is top, really makes the colour "pop". Worth the drive ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macdaddy 10 Posted September 2, 2012 The first of many I would think. Wheels look great. Worth the drive ? Thanks, Wheels need some adjusting/cleaning yet but they are getting there. Its certainly going to be on our show calendar for next year. The dragsters doing 1/4 mile racing was certainly worth watching even if they do make your ears bleed they are sooooo loud! Plenty for the kids there too, fairground etc etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
