At the end of the day, you asked them to do something and they ballsed it up, then still want paying. It's like ordering a meal and having them bring you something else, then demand you pay for it! It's their fault for not being more professional; their mistake, their loss not yours!

Those wheels = Can't wait to see them fitted, gonna look ace!

Are those tyres 45s or 50s? Always liked those wheels and gold on black looks boss! Will be even better when it's lowered haha ;)

Celica??

Welcome along - loving the civic, I'm a big fan of the retro styling

Well as some of you may have seen, my tidy '96 Si was ram-raided by an angry granny in a auto VW Polo who "got confused between the pedals" (apparently yes, 2 is too many), while I was sat at some traffic lights. The repair costs were looking to be horrendous, so sadly I have had to give up on him and have replaced him with another tidy '96 ST. It's pretty tidy but could do with an aesthetic tidy up here and there so those'll be the first jobs to do. However, he drives perfect with a genuine 63k on the clock, so I'm happy enough for now. Spec is pretty unexciting at the moment but I'll update as things gradually get done!

Here's a few snaps from the day: And then a couple from up at my parents' the next day, when we basically turned it back into an Si again haha: On the left is my dead Si, Galliano's ST in the centre and then my new one on the right. In the background you can also see my black Si breaker, so now I have spares and 5es coming out of my various orificees lol. Have a couple of parts to go on and a couple of smaller bits planned that I want to get done soon, so hopefully I'll have some updates before long!

Poor little guy, he never stood a chance against the GT haha. But as long as it smells nice then you just know everything will work out ok haha! (although the fact it still starts is obviously a bonus too lol)

Haha love this On the other hand, your n/a was looking pretty smart too before you got the GT, so silver linings and all that jazz lol ;) It'll be looking extra minty for the spring once you're done with it though I don't doubt!

Love those rims on there, looks nuts seeing how wide they are from the back lol

Hmmm interesting, I guess there's no solid way to know without just jumping in and doing a trial fit then!

This is true the strut may be an issue, I would've thought the brakes would be ok though unless the calipers are uprated?

I think Aviva have an offer on atm, if you're a new customer and you do the whole process online you get the equivalent of like, 5 weeks free or something? I can't remember it exactly off the top of my head but it may be worth a quick look... Have you tried Sky Insurance on here? They do discounts for club members and everyone says they usually come out the cheapest.

The higher the width, the less likely you are to want to run spacers with it. For instance you'd be unlikely to want to run 7J wheels with spacers as they would probably foul the arches something fierce. And 8J wheels with spacers would probably be more out of the arch than in lol. You would want et40 to try and match the OEM fitment, but could probably get away with upto et20/25 if you didn't mind doing some light arch work (^ as Amjad said, lower offsets do look sweet). Obviously you could do more as anything is technically possible if you have the time and money, but that fitment should minimise the hassle somewhat. Having said that, some people still have problems with 7J around et40 I think so I guess it's a bit of just suck it and see!

Clean + lip kit + white wheels = omnomnom I shall be very jealous once this is boosted and I'm still using Flintstones power

I love reading the stuff on this thread, it's like 'banged on some Wilwoods I have lying about' and 'picked up a rear disc conversion' etc etc. Next it's gonna be 'plonked in a forged 4e I'd been using as a coffee table' and 'slapped on some Meisters that I've been using as door-stops for months' haha ;) Looking forward to seeing it all cleaned up buddy, white Paseos look the titties IMO
