series70boy Posted May 17, 2011 Author Posted May 17, 2011 they will be on there way as soon as the cash allows, i've started putting money aside so that when i do it i can do it properly with some pukka wheels!!!!! and lowering springs are quite cheap its just fitting them!!!! Quote
series70boy Posted May 17, 2011 Author Posted May 17, 2011 i have been having a look at alloys wheels so i know what sort of money i will be looking at spending! i am thinking of either the calibre vice or the calibre pro7 in matte black.here is a link to the calibre rangehttp://www.calibrewheels.co.uk/carrange.htmleven though the vice is a cool retro wheel, the pro7 would also look good on more modern jap cars when i come to upgrade to either a glanza or an mx5 in the future!!!any thoughts???

Galliano Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Good luck man, but shame to see you haven't got yourself a Nardi steering wheel! Quote

series70boy Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 thanks for the comments guys, and welcome to the small 70 clan!!!i am not the biggest fan of the wheels, but they look 100% better in the flesh, have given it a lovely wide track from the front and back, and the handling is about 450% better!!!!!just a nice stop gap until i get some proper jdm wheels!!!! Quote
Taggy Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I really like the colour on your ep70, wish mine wasnt bloody gold coloured!! Oh well i am stuck with the colour for the time being, but i have been considering getting the car wrapped, so could pick any colour then My build has been progressing quite well, at the stage now where i have to take out my ep82 engine, getting bloody sick of taking that engine out all the time lolHow is the car running, you said its been giving you jip?thanks for the comments guys, and welcome to the small 70 clan!!!i am not the biggest fan of the wheels, but they look 100% better in the flesh, have given it a lovely wide track from the front and back, and the handling is about 450% better!!!!!just a nice stop gap until i get some proper jdm wheels!!!!

series70boy Posted September 20, 2011 Author Posted September 20, 2011 giving me jip to the maximum!!!13mpg and not enough power for hills, plus the constant worry of the battery being charged cause the alternator is on the fritz!!!!!luckily your engine will mean a new coil carb and alternator to get it sweet again and it gives me a second engine to get looking hot!!and for the clubs info i have been looking into removing the tints and every sticker on it..... i have looked at coilovers, jdm rims and the possibility of a clear bonnet when my engine bay is 100% perfect!!!!!
