ecksjay Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 mate, from the looks of that underside, the entire car is going to rot away before you finish putting parts on it, you'll just end up with a big pile of nearly new stupidly overpriced goodies sat on your driveway, amongst a pile of rust and dust Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletRick Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 those lower zep rear bars are like, even more useless than the floor bars.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 riko... have you tidied the engine bay yet? but im liking the lower bars mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 when it becomes a priority, I'll let you know, and thanksRick, but I has thoughts it boxes in teh axulz...lawl. Meh, in won't have much of an effect in isolation, but I would reckon it'd help a bit in it's own way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 i wouldn't. look at it. LOOK AT IT.its like those floor bars mate as rick said, mate, so funny that people think they make a difference. they don't do a thing. at all. ever.its lush. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 undercar "bling" ftwAnyway, after a 2 week absence, I come back to Oxford to find...- 15" x 6.5" SSR Longchamps XR-4S Wheels (the dished wheels are a +7 offset!)- Zep Racing Braided Clutch Hose- 5E-FHE Camshafts- Royal Purple Gear Oil (I actually bought this beforehand )Just awaiting for a couple of things to arrive - Zep Racing Floorbrace, TRD CV Joints, Tanabe 4 Point Lower Control Arm Brace... - and to buy a couple of things...hush hush for now ;). Hopefully will get my clutch plus all little supporting modifications like the clutch hose, CV Joints etc, swapped out next week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
59bhp Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 let me know how the clutch line swap goes, ive had one sat on my shelf looking at me for months and i havent fitted it yet. Seems like half my car spends more of its life in storage rather than on the car itself.oh and im loving the longchamps, you gonna split them and give em a paint or just wack them on?by the way im a proper name whore as well, laurel and hardy over there just dont understand i think we should start a coalition for name whores Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 sweet collection dude! lookin forward to seein these parts fitted!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 he also has a new intake manifold gasket that is currently pwning his face to pieces ^^/also, 59, changing a clutch line takes about 5 mins. then you just bleed the lines and refill the clutch. take you half an hour.

ecksjay Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 +7? jesus. i assume you've test fitted them with tyres? you're gonna need some serious arch work AFAIK, depending on what tyres go on there O_O Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 afraid not Going to test fit them now...it doesn't help I'll be fitting 8mm spacers on as well for the AE111 brakes... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 um.you fucking dick.although, i'm not surprised. also, you wont notice anything without tyres on, they'll prob just look like they're jutting out quite happily. get tyres on, and then, well, it'll be shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 meh - Well as is, they stick out by about 5mm...so they'll look a bit silly with the 8mm Spacers on too, as well as with Tyres...Chances are, they may need to go on the back wheels anyway, there's only about 5mm between the caliper and the face of the wheel, so I doubt they'd fit with the AE111 Calipers.Seems to be a thing with me, always like to make things a lot more difficult for myself!

59bhp Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 13mm is sod all really in comparison to the shit i see at some vw shows, get the your arches rolled a bit and you will be fine.My brother and a few mates are heavily into vw's so making wide wheels fit i know about. I take it your putting the wider ones on the back? you might have to get some low profile tyres on there with a teeny bit of a stretch (nout stupid) and then as i say roll the arches but im pretty sure they will go on without too much trouble. If it wasnt difficult then everyone would be doing it, besides they will look sex when your done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 oh it's not putting me off chap! I'd prefer the wider offset wheels upfront for the extra track to improve turn-in characteristics...thats if it can fit with the AE111 brakes in situ though. The dilemma of arch clearance shouldn't be an issue...I would hope, with my plans, but feel free to share more on the subject! The tyres I want to get unfortunately are a 195/50 R15 size!Thanks by the way hun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 you wont have alot more pokey out parts of the ae111s mate. they are floaty calipers, all the bulk is on the other side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 phew, that's a tiny bit of a relief, thanks Rickypoos!Now it's just getting them to fit that's the issue...And I can't find the tyres I want in the size I want which is gay...ideally I'd like a Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 in 205/45 R15 but alas, no such thing exists Quote Link to post Share on other sites
