dan106 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Well finally tried to drive it like I did on the 13s, it handles like absolute shit now! Back end feels all loose, I'm hoping its just the suspension doing it, coilies needed asap!Looks awesome now mate! Not a huge stance fan but youve nailed it Cheers dude! Should be getting some rear coilies next week, so I can hopefully get the back sitting spot on Livesports spoiler is the long flat one like I've got on my GT I actually really like them, don't think it'd look right with the tiny n/a bumpers thoughAbso love this!!! Sits perfect! Lovely work and a one offCheers mate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 That actually looks amazing on those steels! Soooo much better than the 13s! One thing I would like to do though is to flare out the rear arches as much as possible! Crooks did a nice job on his, also Corey has his flared nicely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy SR Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) needs bolt on arches with spacers! would look like such a slag! Edited August 31, 2013 by Billy SR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Crooks did a nice job on his, also Corey has his flared nicely Cheers mate! i havent settled on a ride height yet so im waiting for some rear coilovers before i redo the arches, and the drivers side arch is flared to fuck anyway haha! needs bolt on arches with spacers! would look like such a slag! It would, but ive just jacked it up and found both rear wheel bearings are fuuucked and a front one is on the way, i changed them not long ago, the wheels are killing them without spacers! Was considering heading to jae tomorrow, not now :/ Edited September 14, 2013 by dan106 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Shame you couldn't make it dudeAnd spacers will make it worse. Makes the weight of the wheel be on a leaver. So it'll do bearings faster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yeah man, will have to go next year! And yeah I know man, sold my spacers anyway Finally sorted my exhaust out, and took out the centrebox while I was there Was a bit fucked aha More flat exhaust One way of making sure the exhaust stays straight Also lost the cap for the wheel bearing Found this in my mates toolbox, it does the job! And found that I need a new drum on the passenger side, the outer bearing race just slid straight in, probably why its gone again so soon, and because of how bad the bearing was, the leading shoe is almost metal to metal where the drum was sitting cambered, gotta spend more money! Exhaust sounds a lot better thou haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wills21 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Absolutely love this little car, nice job man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Absolutely love this little car, nice job man Cheers mate! Im not currently loving it atm! So, changed the wheel bearing on sunday, cars was all over the place again on the way home from work yesterday... Fucked already! So, standard steels back on the back for now, let my mate loose with some paint while I was sorting out the bearings Don't worry they only lasted a day like that, sprayed em black earlier. No mods for a while, need to spend all my money on fixing the damn thing! All for now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Why does it keep shutting wheel bearings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Why does it keep shutting wheel bearings? Because it's a piece of shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 I think its a combination of letting the bearing get so fucked twice and putting stupid wheels on it tbh, the drums so worn the outer race just slides in and out, and ive lost the castlenut so the nut keeps coming loose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Love the white on white! On the close up of the renault centre cap, It doesn't look like there are many threads holding your steels on though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 a stiff suspensions will eat through wheel bearings faster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the close up of the renault centre cap, It doesn't look like there are many threads holding your steels on though? Its on as many threads as it would be standard, them nuts are just proper long so it looks worse than it is a stiff suspensions will eat through wheel bearings faster. Another reason im desperate to find some rear coilovers to get rid of the chopped springs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scutch0 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) I must say after reading this entire thread I'm really liking the different route you've taken with this build. Really nice to see someone try something different and unique (to starlets anyway) it's all about being brave when modifying something DIY style into you're final vision, rather than buying stuff off the shelf and clone a 'look'.Much respect for that. ;)Where a outs are you based? As I recognise a lot of these places? Edited November 11, 2013 by scutch0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
