just bought a new set of wheels.
ultralites 13x7 et7 165/55/13 nankang tyres




also after lifting it 20mm since the tyres are lower profile we took it for a drive and agreed that it is still too low  :lol:

Loving the wheels!  :cool:

Never clocked you had a side exit exhaust until now!

Bit worried about your ground clearance though!  :shocked:

and the side exits need the tips swapping now cos i didnt use stainless for the tips,i used chromed steel and the chrome has got stonechipped and is going a bit rusty.

i didnt realise how long it has been since i updated this but not too much has happened due to a rwd distraction :lol:
first off the mudflaps are gone
and i have some hubecntric spacers to goon but the arches need stretching outr even further to fit.
also decided to buy and fit nitrous


cold fusion wet kit running 25bhp shot.
works but i have burnt out a solenoid so its running dry now but still has a significant effect on the power 8)
so if anyone knows where i can get some cheap solenoids from i would appreciate it 8)
also have fitted some guages

oil pressure,vacuum gauge and a voltmeter 8)


also the injectors are fine,cant say they made a big difference though

another update.
first off i have bough an omp lower brace

as you can see it looks a bit rough but its solid
so i thought i would clean it up and paint it before i fitted it

it was a bit awkward to fit on my own but i managed it
also it is now running a kent gs22h camshaft with new tappets which has increased the power a bit although has moved the power further up the rev range


also i have fitted an air cooled oil cooler with a billet alloy sandwich plate and braided hoses.
