Edition 30
GAZ-MAN:
JESUS :embarrassed: That will look proper when all finished :wink:
Dan648v:
Cheers lads!
Danish- not sure on the make, off a company I got some evo bits off in the past, I'll have a look on the invoice later on for you
Dan648v:
Quick update
H&R 8mm front spacers are here, tyres all fitted to the lm's and ready to go on once there polished and sealed.
I'm also in the process of booking in to get my revo stage 2 file updated and linear throttle put on! :smiley:
Oh and to prevent heat soak I've bought a Airtec twin spec front mount to help keep temps down, thinking now I might aswell buy a bloody pump and go stage 2+ and save some money!
Dan648v:
**update**
fianlly got round to fitting my dream wheels onto the ed30 and after many journies and different calculations ive done it!!
BBS LM reps over NQSBBK porsche front brakes :party: :party: :party:
all seems good so far, pics and specs are below!
finally specs are:
front: 8x18 et42 wheel, 8mm hubcentric spacer, final et34. tyre: 215 40 18 Conti sport 3 (not much stretch because of there comfy sidewalls)
rear: 9x18 et42 wheel, 225 40 18 falken fk452
brakes are: 986 boxster/cayman front calipers, daveb fitting kit and std 312mm discs
suspension: AP coilovers, all the way down at back and maybe 3 or so threads left at front.
i reckon with a falken tyre at the front i could keep the 215 at the front and get a better stretch giving more clearance but i got the conti's cheap so tried that tyre spec out instead of wasting money on new tyres for them not to fit.
these are my summer/show wheels but can confirm i can still give some stick and it still goes and havent felt much scraping yet!! :smiley:
Dan648v:
after putting my BBS's on i realised how rusty my disks looked and how scabby my rear calipers looked! let the look down really so i took the sun this morn as a sign to get the paint out! i know with me going to vw harewood on the clubstand i wouldnt have been happy with them looking like they were!! :ashamed:
i painted the centres of my discs matt black in a high temp paint and the rear calipers in the same paint as the front Porsche calipers so now they match all round!
all in all for a days work im pretty pleased! pics below
this was the worst rear :sick:
turned into this.......
looks much better with the wheel back on
also while i was there i did the front discs and tidied up some chips on the front calipers
comments welcomed as usual guys! off for a beer now cause its boiling :drinking:
