Dazzi Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 These came to the house today, and just before Christmas too I went with the MRR GT1's in black to complement the black bodywork if you didn't already know: 235/40/18 Front 265/35/18 Rear http://www.importzrevolution.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/GT1_11blk.jpg Sorry about the poor quality - camera phone All I need now are the tyres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Yea, thanks for the help Marc, I pm'd you ages ago asking if yours cleared UK brakes. These do fortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Had a quick try of the front wheels today! Bags of room for the UK brakes, more then my old wheels I plan on washing the car tomorrow btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Looks like I'll be going back to stock wheels sooner than I thought. Gave two of mine a good thwack on some :taped: traffic control thingies on a road near my friends house. Have to swerve all over the road to avoid them (at 10mph) and I still hit one. Advised by the locals to actually wait until nobody is coming then drive through them on the opposite side of the road, as they're easier to navigate. What a joke!

AlexM Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Insurance is in for my 5spd, £1025! I might have to cut my losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I did a quote on 'go compare' Alex, best quote was 2.5k and the worst was 4.5k! I had someone ring me up on Christmas day confirming my details to take the cover out. I said no thanks, I'll stick with my 670 quid fully comp with my existing company. Makes me sick it does, no wonder a lot of people drive without insurance because the price it out of your reach - yet another one of those 'government controls' to stop people owning a nice thing.

AlexM Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 It's mad isn't it Dazzi. I'm hoping Sky can do something special and mirror my no claims, else the sprint series next year is over for me before it started. Endsleigh quoted me £1730 online, then phoned me back to check some details in the hope of making it cheaper. Ten minutes later I was quoted £1860.. and would I like to go ahead with that quote. I laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It's very quiet in here lately, most unlike the NA club. hoff must be off drooling over TTs again! Does anyone have any plans for this years mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hopefully I'll be getting a new (or at least, less buggered) N/A motor to swap over later this year and while that's being done I can get my Tein EDFC, air con condenser and a couple of other things fitted as well.

AlexM Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 You're aiming to join the exclusive NA-NA club Animal? That's quite a thing to aim for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Well, 1; It's my daily driver and clocks up some serious miles, depending on where I'm working (currently doing about 400 miles a week), 2; I'm not a power-mad tarmac monster. I'll admit, something with 500 horse would be fun, but I've already been banned twice in the N/A, so that'd just be asking for trouble, 3; going the TT route would end up costing me stupid amounts of money as I just wouldn't be able to leave it alone and, finally, 4; I actually ENJOY driving my N/A. I've got it looking how I want, it handles well and even with it's current binge-drinking motor, it goes well. It'll cost me somewhere in the region of £500 to do a straight swap as opposed to god knows how many thousands for a fully set-up 500 horse TT.

AlexM Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 What's wrong with your current engine to warrant a swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It's drinking about 1 litre of oil every thousand miles. It's tired & smelly & old, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 400 miles a week! Respect to your old NA motor mate... still going strong no mater what. I still need to fit my full decat, twin fans, EMU fuel management and loads of other bits. Hopefully should be able to fit my lightweight 18's on this week, finally sent the tyres through the post at last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yep. Currently working in Whitehaven which is 150 miles away, so that's 300 miles straight off. Then the general bimbling to & from hotel to work, site, then whatever happens at weekend will add another 100 mile or so. Got to say, I can't fault the car at all; it soaks up the miles no problem. I've just got to keep an eye on the oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Been missing me Alex:p Animal has hit the nail on the head with his reasonings for doing an NA-NA swap. I still fancy going NA-TT but do really enjoy driving her as she is, and being a daily driver it's perfect:) My wheels should be with me by the 20th, so I should finally get them on soon. Im also looking for some NA shocks. As mine are TT spec the ride is a little stiff TBH. I need them pretty cheap though as there is very little work out there at the moment within the construction industry:( So other than that no further plans at the moment. However, if something turns up I would love to change my skirts. But being blended I dont know how costly that would be. It's very difficult to give a quote:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I still have your bling bling adidas top burnt into my retinas hoff. I'm considering getting rid of my Aerotop this year, it's not like we get the weather to warrant it and I keep having temptations to do things to it (and I'd like my daily to be a manual again). Still, I know I'd miss it if I sold it.. meh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
