Good stuff, hopefully see you around mate! I'm in a black quadlamp GT

You know Andy with the white '98 V then? Or Nialle with his silver '96?

Deffo get steel lugs. You don't want the aluminium threads giving way under hard driving or when on track!

You'll have to host them at a third-party like photobucket, imageshack or imgur mate, and then paste the link provided here

^ yep! https://www.facebook.com/events/515338201916668/ is the link for those interested

Hey mate, whereabouts are you in Lancs? I'm from Burnley myself! Shame you've had issues right from the word go

I have an adj panhard on mine but if the rear squats enough in dips and bumps, then the tyre will rub regardless. On track it'd be minimised as the coilies would be going harder anyway Probably gonna get them all rolled at some point in the future. Not tried it on my 14x6 Volks yet (tyres are 45/r14/185 iirc)

As far as I know, yeah, they'll be with corollaclub.net

I couldn't see them being bigger? They'd have to be quite a lot bigger, iirc the bore on the Volks (the bit that'd be meeting the hub face) was over 70mm, no way will the centric ring on UK starlet hubs be that big! Unless there's a diff between our sets of 5/4s? Like you say, interesting.

I'll have to bring the obligatory bottle of Kraken again, see if I can polish off the whole bottle by the end of the weekend! Hopefully I won't drunksleep fall out of my chair again :c

A lot of people recommend spigot rings to hold the wheel centre. Apparently studs have a bit of flex in them which can fuck up shit, hence spigot rings to keep the wheel snug to the part of the hub that protrudes. My reason for doing this is on the drive down to JAE and back, and before that, I had massive wheel vibration, even after balancing twice at two different places. So trying spigot rings to see if that solves it. As soon as I put my slips on after, stable as a rock.

I'll be there in my GT, as will another lad that I know from Colne in a white '98

Yessss!!! Nice to see you still got the love for her!

Quick update. Got the head unit fitted shortly after my last post, moral of the story is to make sure you have the bloody thing right way up before you start wondering why no holes in the brackets seem to line up. Had to file down some locating nubs though. Other than that, not much. Just been modfiying the spigot rings I bought so that they will sit flush inside my Volks, hopefully I can get them on the car on Friday and hopefully it cures the wheel vibration I was getting (the Volks are balanced). I just hope I didn't order the wrong internal diameter for the rings, as I know it's either 54mm or 55mm. Either way, quick snap of one of my delicious gold Volk 5/4s: I may have a genuine Tom's spoiler in my hands soon, but not sure if I can afford it as it's likely I'll be moving into a flat! We'll see, if I do get it, then it won't be for a while yet until it goes on the car.

I'll be sure to get my builders bum out again! Wouldn't be a JAE Thursday without it!

Get a GT seat, much more better ;) Were you at the Bolton meet last month by the way?

No brainer! Yes for Thursday!

Welcome Jo! Good to see you finally on here!

I believe a set of 14" Volk 5/4s are about 4.5 kgs each, will check with mine whenever I get round to dragging them out into daylight.
