Stonkin Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Good news mate Do yourself a favour before fitting and whilst they are spanking and new, get some Poorboys Wheel Sealant and get a good 3 coats all over every part of the wheel. It will make future cleaning much easier and give them some good protection for the crap weather ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonkin Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thats the one mate. Just use a small applicator pad http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/accessories/foam-wax-applicator/prod_89.html and apply a thin layer all over the wheel, inside and out. Then do another wheel, then come back to the first and buff it off with a microfibre. Then do the next 2 wheels. Do this 3 times on each wheel and they will have some really good protection from brake dust, grime from the road and the salt we will soon be seeing.It will also give them more gloss and make future cleaning very very easy.

Yeah their selection is brilliant - i was torn between the SP1 and SP3, but always liked the WORK Miester so hopefully they will look spot on ... once we get them to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Right i've taken the plunge and ordered a new Solaris S6 from Ryan. Heard loads of good reports about this ecu and it will bring my boost on hard and fast and keep it there. All i need to do after that is get a paul whiffin twin scroll manifold and twin WG's but that'll have to wait til next year!! Hoping to get the car to Ryan next week for the new ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 Cheers guys. Just landed in amsterdam for stag doo so i'll have to wait til monday to see the new wheels!! Cant wait for the Solaris. Should give me around 100hp more thro midrange. Probably wont add much to the 735hp but the power delivery will be much improved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 The traction control should help your delivery too, dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 The traction control should help your delivery too, dude I'm not getting the traction thing fitted yet mate - gonna get the new wheels all sorted first and then get Ryan to put the traction button in early next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
