j_jza80 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Those WORK wheels are a similar style to the old Blitz Technospeeds, you might find a set of them for a reasonable price if you look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Those WORK wheels are a similar style to the old Blitz Technospeeds, you might find a set of them for a reasonable price if you look around. I saw these too, wasnt too keen on the rivet/bolt look though. Works are ordered now, here in 4-5 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hi Ric, I've been watching the progress of this, It's a great build, nice work mate. Just one thing I feel I should mention, don't want to put a downer on this but just keep an eye on the seal retaining clip rings on those calipers. I had an issue with mine. I did post up a thread with photos but can't seem to locate it. The ends of the rings curl inwards slightly and cut into the new seals. I returned mine back to Bigg Red for a refund and forked out for Toyota items. It's just an issue with the band types and not the round wire type clips. If you look at yours, you might notice that the seal will be pinched at the gap between the rings. It may not be an issue at all but I don't like taking any chances with brakes.

Ric Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Quiet time on the thread while im working away. Thought i'd update with a few parts i've got collecting at home, driving the missus crazy with parts allover. As I've committed going to the Japshow finale on the 12th Oct I've suddenly realized I've got a shed load to do when i get back in the UK! on the 16th Sept. Parts to fit are: Passenger and Drivers glass UK Brakes, Discs Braided lines New Turbo's Polished turbo pipes replace the accordion pipes Stem seals Water pump Timing Belt Full service Rear defuser Triple Apillar pod Gauges Wheels Coilovers Speaker Brackets Amp possibly a new carbon rear spoiler to fit. There is probably a few more i can't think of either, anybody in Sheffield with a few spare days to lend a hand would be great haha. More to come soon.

Ric I can lend a hand on some odd days on the weekend, i would recommend buying drop links if your doing coilovers also get the heat gun ready as the turbo nuts are a nightmare!

Dnk Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Lovely Just a note of caution, check them mainly around the rim edges, when my Works arrived they looked great but one had been dropped and there was a flat spot on the back rim edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Something just turned up. Now to decide what tires i want. Ill be a liar if i said i wasn't worried about my offset and width calculations, but im glad to say they fit OK. The wheels are turned a little bit to the left here, but they are flush and go up into the arches as you'd expect No pics until they are properly fitted and the coil overs have been done, though.
