[quote="The Big Yin"]picked up a new pair of rims for the car impul pro mesh's
14x7 with 5" of dish
£120


iv been looking at these wheels for a while now, and i think that some one to the face of the SSR mesh wheels and put them on some barrels.
the pattern on the center just looks too much like them.
oh take a look at DJexor's avatar and compare.

just done a track day at Knockhill and there are some changes coming to the car.

new tyres front and rear
the cheap shit on the front was washing out and the back was just pushing the front, and they ended up looking like this



so a pair of Falken ZIEX ZE-912 were ordered up for the front as I wanted real grippy stuff up front

the backs were worn to tread markers and were tractor tyres anyway so I have put some Yokohama S306 on the back
did not want mega grippy stuff on the rear for obvious reasons


I was out for 5 ten minute sessions about 8 laps a session
boiled the brake fluid on the 3rd lap of the 1st session
so ordering up some nice new racing brake fluid
ATE Racing Blue

when we bled the brakes we got nothing but froth, so was seriously screwed

noticed a bit of a squirm from the back end as well so ordered a nice shiny new T3 (Techno Toy Tuning http://www.technotoytuning.com/index2.php) panhard rod which is adjustable on the car



needs full alignment done also, camber toe in and toe out

got a rolling road session tomorrow so I will find out what power the car is producing


next I want to order up is the T3 rear 4 link kit

So 6 years and 2 months after I last updated this thread I am back.

The car stopped running. And it was down to a wiring issue.
I spent months trying to sort it and never managed it.
I lost heart in it. And interest as well.
Roll forward all these years and I want her back!

She is dirty and has a few probs. But the main problem is still wiring.

So to aid in this I have moved the car to a friends unit where I can work on her over the winter. And be dry when doing it.
Today me and my mate stripped out the
Front seats
Front of the roll cage
Carpets
Dash
And the crash bar.
This gives us full access to the wiring.


In the last year I have built a slammed stripped Suzuki ignis Sport. When really I should have been working on my Hachi.

I've now realised this. And the Hachi is now my main priority.

[banpei]

Welcome back!

And the Ignis looks great as well!

[The Big Yin]

Cheers Banpei.
Nice to see there are still some familiar faces here. ,

Good to see a local boy has come back out the woodwork
Look forward to seeing yours once the winter's up!

This may be a silly question...but you weren't selling a set of Wats on Gumtree recently were you?

[The Big Yin]

Where you from Matt?
Nah not me, I sold all my alloys years ago

[robokill]

he is back :-), good getting back to the Hachi. For wiring issues try to contact Ivan141 master of Wiring :-) He helped me out with my blue one and about 10 years ago he fixed an engine compartment loom that was burned.

But start by explaining what your issue is. Maybe we have seen it before :-)

Just across the Forth - Clackmannan.
Someone was selling some SSR Watanabes in Falkirk that I shoulda bought!
