joe-ep91 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Cheers man Theyre only 14s and they came with the car, i can't afford a nice set of 15s just yet so i'll have to make do.Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bildo Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I know how you feel, I have 15's on mine but they're in shit condition. I want to get the lip and dish professionally polished but the prices are rapeworthy. I could probably do the spraying myself tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joe-ep91 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Little Update. My car failed the MOT on exhaust emissions and rear shocks! The prick at the MOT centre said he could do a non-cat test but when it came to it he said it had to be pre '92! Even tho I told him it was an N reg on the phone. So now i have to put my cat back on for the re-test. Another thing, he was holding my car at about 7,5k revs for a good 20-30 secs, which i thought was a bit odd. Anyway, I've ordered a set of KYB Excel-G shocks and already have some lowering springs to slam it on so Im lookin forward to that.More update with pics when shocks and springs fitted.Joe.

Collected these bad boys today:Cat is being fitted for the MOT as we speak, what a pain in the arse Can't wait til everythings sorted and its dropped!! More pics coming soonJoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bildo Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 N reg isnt pre 92 by the way Think he was pointing out that he had already mentioned to the guy it was an 'N' Reg when he booked it therefore should've known it wasn't pre 92. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ahhh I see, cant believe you gotta fit the cat though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I would've taken it to a different tester, especially after he sat and revved it at 7.5krpm, thats not good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joe-ep91 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Well i'm gonna take it back there, but only on the condition that he doesn't rev it like that again.Looking forward to getting shocks and springs fitted, pics coming tomorrow.Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
