What do you call

[OapEM]

2 coils lopped off the front or did we buy proper things? lol

Springs and blocks from classicswede (for sale section), by way of intermediate owners.
It makes all the difference, that last two inches man (put your own joke in there dude.)
I was worried about the ride a bit before hand, and buzz-killer bumps, but takes it all and laughs out the other end.
Suppose if your dampers are up to it, it makes no real difference. If theyre shot, you'll suffer though.

[OapEM]

Good stuff mate. I'll save that joke opportunity for another time lol

My dampers seem fine, just need to get some blocks, still waiting on the local lad - he's a busy fella though

m0ar engin bay pix pls z0mg that's clean

[volvosneverdie]

Gonna wait till its all done man. everything on, good wash down, t-cut it, then go pic-porn mad and take 700,0000.
Shouldnt be long if i hit the wheels im chasin.
Been saying that for 3 month tho.

Did you get your wellers man?

[OapEM]

Keeping us in suspense then eh! I for one want to see this bad lad, what wheels you after dude? Seen you wanted post. im sure they'll be worth the wait! As we all know, nowt transforms a car like a new set of shoes

Yeah I got some 13x7 Wellers for 1.98 in two eBay auctions by an illiterate muppet Just waiting to see when my mate can collect them, then I'll paint em black etc.

Not gonna bother with any new pics until I have something different to show lol. Tell your lass cheers If only all women were as receptive towards it lol

[volvosneverdie]

Already lost out on a set of 14" 6j import eunos wire wheels, that were fuggin killer. Got distracted playing on guitar hero 10 mins before they finished on the bay. had sat for two hours solid beforehand staring at the screen watching the time tick down an all.
Missed a set of big BMW Mini fake Minilites coz me tinternet connection died for 8 mins at the end of the auction.

And after seeing AndyPs wellers that he painted black with a red rim, i quite fancied shooting for some a dem.
Seriously.

We'ld never be able to park next to each other dude.
Matchin wheels? people'll think we're the G word.

Still, got some stuff finishing soon im bidding on, so im saying nowt till all is done.

[OapEM]

G ride you mean

You have shit luck on the bay dude! Yeah I quite like the look of Bini minilites too, pmsl @ distracted! Killer! I always set my alarm if I'm not near the CPU!

Got any pics of Andy P's car mate? I like them cos they look pretty cool, nowhere near as cool as Minilites mind, and are nice and robust!

Dude my mate is selling some 15 x 5.5j 4x100 BBS wire looking wheels from his JDM Eunos ATM if that's your thing

[volvosneverdie]

Sure he wont mind.

Don dig bbs's man. Too many around. Ta for the offer tho.

[OapEM]

Looks class! Do you know what width they are dude? I have a feeling they're 8J. I wana do the lip on mine silver but will just look like I curbed them lol
No sweat on the BBS mate I feel the same. I know a few lads that run 4x100 'euro' sizes. Will keep a look out for you

[volvosneverdie]

7J, but said in his post that everyone that seem em says 8.
Got to try really hard to be different these days man.
Specially when people keep putting awesome ideas in your head.

I wanted an excuse to attempt a 1st go refurb on some wheels, so i might try for something similar like.

[OapEM]

I have the ideas but not the monies lol must still have hackers in my computer

Do it mate, steelies would be easy to refurb! blast the rust etc off with a flap/wire wheel and break out the satin black. Job done!

I'm well pleased now cos those are the ones I'm getting! They look better than I hoped, Definitely stick out enough to justify some JDM y0 arches

Seeing as you're my very own fountain of knowledge do you know of anyone running arch extensions and what they're from matey?

[volvosneverdie]

Knew id seen some somewhere man!
been pulling my hair out!
Jonni put mk1 golf ones on his turbo.
Check the thread, im sick of copying and pasting photos.

[OapEM]

You're bone idol not pasting pics into image tags for me whilst I sit here waiting mate

i've seen that build before, I remember it being stripped and on the roll over jig, nice idea but a bit full on for the kind of arches I'm thinking of lol

That thing will be a total weapon when done!

[germ]

Wooooooouuuuuups my hand sliped.
