Looks great!

I was looking at the V-Maxx coilovers but like the AP ones, I don't think they go down low enough... Needs to be lower and lower profile tyres :love:

Aye! The front ones are down as far as they will go. :S havnt done the rear ones yet. As for profiles, Give it a year and I'll find some bigger wheels and lower profiles ;)

  • Oh hey... Remember me?   *POW*    

  • Track day successful. Didn't blow up or slide off. But got black flagged on the first outing for being too loud.

  • "Surely with that set up you get rubbish MPG" You'll be surprised when it's not on boost all the time.       In other, once I've got the body work/rusty bits sorted...

Coils all the way down, front and rear. Also LamX'ed the headlights.

Looks good! I am not a big fan of this type of alloys but strangely enough they look very good on your car :).

It does need lower profile rubber to det them off even better imho.

Have you thought about painting that lower spoiler car colour? Try a bit of photochopping as you seem to be good at it :)

Slight update in the boot department. But like most things, it's still a work in progress...

Out of interest, Whose is this?

Not sure they're on here - never seen anything directly about it anyway.

I've got a set of four BMW X5 alloys offset 42... Am I about to walk into a world of hurt when I mention they're 9J and 10J?  :peek:

 

So, will it be a massive headache (I already have one trying to picture if it would work, spacers/adapters/arch pull etc) Or just easier to sell on once I've refurbished them? Reading a bit from other topics, I can see some have managed to fit 10J rears, but many think it's not worth it...

Stammas (think that's the right spelling!) ran X5 rims - but he had them re-drilled I'm pretty sure, plus ran some 'interesting' suspension config :)

 

He doesn't have his any more, but you could drop him a PM and get some info?

 

I'd say it was dead in the water without re-drilling the wheels myself - as you're talking a very wide wheel, plus then reducing the offset still further with an 8-10mm spacer! I wouldn't run anything thinner, to properly support a wheel of that width.

One compressor for now, When the money is good, I'll get a second one as one isn't fast enough!
