RobSR Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 So, here we go again! Thought id post this here rather than just in our traders section so people can keep up to date with what we are doing! I managed to secure a freshly imported 98 Spec for good money as a development car for certain products we have in the pipeline. Something abit different to the norm and some electronic / ECU related goodness to which I'm looking forward to implementing! Got the truck out and collected her earlier this week. This will be updated as we go, but for now, just the car and some wheel porn for you! Good job we have some wings coming that will house the 8J wheels all being well! Only took 2 days for them to arrive from Japan too - mega impressed.

Starlet__SR Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 How much do you want for the wheels that are currently on the car? These would look great on my GT. Quote

IMG_5664 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr IMG_5665 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr IMG_5668 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr IMG_5669 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr Hi Rob, Good choice of wheels, are you planning on a big brake set up ? If so any idea what needs to be done to slip a set of K-Sports under these. I need better brakes but know my RPF1's are going to be an issue with fitment. Cheers JT Quote
RobSR Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Hi mate, I will be running a big brake kit , not a k-sport one though granted so hold fire and I'll let you know how I get on! Quote

Broony Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 They require 25mm spacers to fit over the was big brake kit. I run 15x7 RPF1's Quote
Broony Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 They are the better of the two they offer in that size. i will have a look on the box. Quote
RobSR Posted April 11, 2017 Author Posted April 11, 2017 Couple of little bits and bobs done today, more so a good clean! Took half the interior out as the previous owner was quite the fan of a Malbro it seems. Getting a lot better and I'm confident we will be able to get rid of the smell.. Standard issue seeing as I've driven it once since the middle of last month..the Audi to the rescue! IMG_5749 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr Some images during the clean.. Si took a few more so I'm sure he'll post them up. Really impressed with how its come up, having the right products helps a lot!IMG_5751 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr Now onto some more exciting stuff, as mentioned above the cars being treated to a standalone ECU so we can start implementing some proper launch strategies, traction control testing, flex fuel testing etc, so I've started putting the wiring side of things together today so watch out of the next few months as we start to make some progress with our mapper. The car will be off for a different turbo setup of some description before hand IMG_5742 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr IMG_5745 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr Majority finished, still need to finalise the wiring for sequential injection, the second plug is for all the K20 coils to be wiried individually too rather than a bath fire setup like standard.IMG_5748 by Rob Fisher, on Flickr Offered a wheel up today too..fitment looks tight if not a tiny wide so when theres some coilovers on there the rear arches may need to be rolled but the wheels are porn Quote
RobSR Posted April 11, 2017 Author Posted April 11, 2017 Any news on the wheels yet matey? Yup just waiting on coilovers then they will be off! Quote
Starlet__SR Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Yup just waiting on coilovers then they will be off! Did you manage to find out what they were? Quote
