Dan's N5T LO daily - VR6 Turbo build starting #95

Pretty sick. Could do with more camber and some cheaper wheels though IMHO.

I agree he was asking me about camber lastnight so i'm sure that's his plan it's a work in progress, it's getting painted and everything so might suit the wheels a little more.. but they're my perfect wheel <3

Good luck on finding another job quickly....


Not sure about the rear on that MX5 but there's something about it I like.

I think because it reminds me of retro Jap styling like on this old Skyline.

Thanks dude found one that i'm applying for just need to get the CV written up again, i see they did me a favour as they said the job just wasnt for me.. i wasn't motivated enough and i didn't fancy being a b!tch for the rest of my life, was only a temp job anyway but was there for just under a year the job i've found is defiantly what i would rather be doing

Yeh that car's siccck, the MX5 has had the rear bumper chopped out and had the plate put in to keep the car to the road (instead of a big ass spoiler) i don't have a clue if i'm honest!

^^^ Well fingers crossed then....


Yeah it makes sense just looks a little odd over something that was meant to be there like how they do it on the back of a lotus.

Tbf, it's a 1.6 mx5, the last thing it needs is rear downforce.

I think it looks cool though.

They're my perfect wheel for a luxurious German car, but for a utilitarian, ratty JDM drifter I think they're too expensive... When the wheels look like they cost more than the car, something's wrong.

Then again, they look sweet on Mk3s which seem to be worth about £30 at the moment.

winnies mx5 is a beast, sounds metal, stripped out, caged and turbo charged. the wheels did cost him a fair wack but like dan said its in for a full paint at p b customs soon. he's actually basing the paint colour around the wheels coz he likes them that much.

the rear diffuser is from a lotus i think?

it will look awesome when painted! its also his dailly 

....

oh and sorry to hear about the job dan. hope you move onto summat you enjoy a bit more!
are you going on bft next week?

Yeah totally get what you mean man but he said he's planning on getting it running around 300bhp, in an sub 800kg car that's pretty fast
