Skoze Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Sure is. It's on 13s at the moment, but they're only 7" wide and are a bit lost in the arches. I could run spacers with them and keep it looking old school, or i have a tie up with Revolution who could probably do me some 13x8s cheap. They do quite suit it: With the arse dropped down a few inches and it sat a little wider it could look bob-on. Then again, I could go all out and get some 15x8 Revolutions and bring it up to date a bit as i'm no longer paying for the rubber. First world problems.

isitafox Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 There's a white v6 knocks about round here with some 15's and I don't think they suit it, although it's been de-bumpered as well so that might add to the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Just put some new rubber on it Matt, think those wheels really suit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Those wheels are gorgeous. I do wonder what you car would look like without bumpers front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) It's a hard one. Done right, 15"s can look very good; I'm gonna see what they say - by the looks of things Dunlop don't do 13s unless I want some historic race tyres, which is a shame. It does however mean that If i bought the wheels from Revo for £200 or so, I could almost cover the cost back selling my Compomotives - or even just keeping them for winter/ retro specials. Oh and Jake, it'd look f**king wank: Edited May 13, 2014 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 If that bumper was smoothed I think it'd actually look really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) A few more pics have surfaced. Patrick Stewart also takes part in these: Got so much motivation after the last round to improve my driving, all thanks to a friend in a poorly prepared M3 who completely destroyed all of us on two runs. Going to visit a trackday asap, braking and fast corners are my biggest problem currently. Edited May 13, 2014 by Greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Today's hoard.. There's a genuine r line splitter there too, properly excited to get the seats in! Pardon my ignorance but why are they better than your current ones :-p 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Pardon my ignorance but why are they better than your current ones :-p My current ones are the lowest of the low spec, and after 170k you can imagine what the bolsters look like Plus they're a hell of a lot nicer to look at!

SamKidney Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Turns out my central locking does work, I just have to wiggle the key to do get it to turn to lock. Either ordering a new lock or swapping the barrels over from either side. Passenger side works perfectly, having seen less use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Small question, has anyone tried and had success with a supposedly high-temp power steering fluid? I'd rather not fit a cooler, because effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Empty your hole punch into his air vents. Or, if you are a man. Put a brick through the c**ts windscreen. That's what would happen if ANYBODY f**ked with my car. Gonna put a shed loads of talco/baby powder in his vents tommorow! jokes on him! Been invited too drive a fto on several trackdays, how many beginners/crap drivers would i expect too see on the track? ill be honest im not great at driving fast but i guess everyone starts somewhere!

Pete.M Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 It only seems to take a few minutes of enthusiastic sideways action to boil the fluid, or at least I'm pretty certain that's what's happening. I don't exactly plan to do a huge amount of drifting but it would be good to sort this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't the talc be a bit harsh? Also in the same boat as you, fancy tracking the mr2 but don't want to get hit or push off by other faster, much more experience drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Well, it had to happen sooner or later. I'm putting it up for sale immediately but I intend to enjoy it as much as possible until it goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 That is f**king nice. Had my old car taken away today. Company said the guy would show up between 8:30am-5:30pm. Got a text from him at 5:25am telling me he'd be there for 8am. Got a call from him at 7am telling me he'd be there in 5 minutes. Can't f**k with that efficiency but that's some early shit. Car wouldn't start too so had to roll it backwards down a narrow road with no power steering or assisted braking. Interesting start to the day.
