I run 0.8 bar on a CT9, externally wastegated, and to be honest, it's enough for me. Any further in terms of boost, then I'd have to fuck about with management and fuelling and all that shit, and really, that can wait until I get a bigger turbo.

Well, yesterday I fitted two of the Volks, only to realise that the tyres had been put on wrong by the wheel refurbers ( left hand tyres had been put on both 4-spoke wheels, right hand tyres had been put on the 5-spoke wheels), but the good news is that the spigot rings fitted fine, now I just have to try them out properly. Dad got the tyres swapped around today while I've been away, so I'll get the wheels fitted onto the car tomorrow and see if the rings have eliminated the horrendous vibration I got at speed. If it's all ok, then I'll be at the JDM North meet with them on I've been down in

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 5

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 they're also 10cm, but I'm not sure. I got the doorcards for mine from a mates crashed GT, but he didn't have the 'frames' that the speakers go into so I can't check

Stuff it, I'll stick it on the card What's your Paypal address Marc?

Still up for this! Where is Blyton though?

I could be very interested in this Marc! May look a bit off with my non-205 paintwork, but sod it. Will take a look at where I'm at with money tomorrow (going to 2 rr's this month!)

Missed this update, wheels still look fresh, don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing that colour! Also, cool points for the fake wood trim
