ali_legend Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Cant help but wonder why after spending absolute thousands on the rest of the car, how come you're running the most bob basic wheels?Could say the same to you. Running big power and stock brakes? Lol seems a lot more stupid to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Could say the same to you. Running big power and stock brakes? Lol seems a lot more stupid to me because they worked well, they were stock calipers everything else wasn't stock. Makes it out like I was running blue print pads and stock lines lol. And I don't see the point in spending money on big ass 6 pots or whatever when I had no intensions to even track the car. It was a road car and they worked more than perfect for the road. So there's your answer, you can stop crying about it now every time you see a picture of it. Edited October 10, 2014 by Beastmode panda Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A 400bhp glanza going 70mph will stop the same as 130bhp glanza doing the same speed, am i wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do the same thing as normal wheels, he doesn't see the point spending £1k on wheels when rotas that he likes do the same thing, so you can stop crying about that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JordanEP91 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Well, finally moved into the new home, needless to say it has been crazy with work and moving, I will be glad when I can focus or finishing the car as it's sat there and hasn't been touched in what seems like years, I got some much to be getting on with just no time which is a shame, the house we have moved into needs a lot of work however we bought it knowing that so hopefully when things get back to normal I can spend so time on the car, the car has been at a family house and come home today, and now is boxed in with everything i can't see much progress being made this side of Christmas, I need to get the turbo and that sent off to have the exhaust made which I was ment to send off months ago but I never got round to it due to not having the car, I can amagine he will be fully booked now till after Christmas so that won't be done!Anyway a little shot I got earlier Edited November 13, 2014 by JordanEP91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dingo Del Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Hey ... Thanks Mr Jordan ! I have just spent bloody hrs admiring your tenacity, patience, and also for acknowledgement of every ones comments.Only downside it deprived me of time on my car ! as it's 10.07 pm here. Having to build a car outside reminds me of my first Lotus Cortina way back with only the inside of the house to admire some of the parts patiently waited for week after week. Seeing yours displayed during the build, reminded me of what a great mum I had back then, in good old sunny Margate ! ( Kent ).A credit to you my friend ... And a pleasure to read. Thanks Although I have done many since. To me it's not about which twat puts up jealous comments, or how big his penis is, or the even YOUR end power figures, it's ALL about the journey. ......... My only crit ! With all your hard earned dosh spent. WHERE IS YOUR PROPER FIRE EXTINGUISHER .... Not some hand held 20 quid one either. I'm assuming one will come later ? Please. One last thing not that its relevant .... I think black wheels / black calipers mesh over the cooler etc = the ultimate sleeper. Hope you can cope with a " Little wheel spin also ! " .

JordanEP91 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hello mate Haha that's good news then, yeah I will admit it's been a struggle from time to time outside but I have never given up, and now I class myself as living the dream because it's in the workshop at home yeah I completely understand what you mean regarding power figures and that, I'm not here to prove anything I'm just going to push for everything I have a start to enjoy it Yes mate your right lots of cash has gone into it however im not yet regretting it as I might as well do it whilst I'm young hahaYeah your right it would be a sleeper but I want to be a bit different from the rest that's just me I suppose lolYeah the wheel spin will be fine (he says) haha Thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
