Hey all

 

After twelve months its finally back in the garage with all the work done. They have finished the map at a conservative 403bhp at 1.3bar (There is more but I'm happy with that!)

 

Ill post up some pics when I have given it a clean tomorrow. Ive only driven it home but opened it up a little and it was very very quick.

 

Cheers

P.S. am thinking of selling my old 18" bbs wheels with tyres 2X contis at the front and 2X bridgie re040. See my rides section for pics.

weheyy good news man! Just dont let the weather catch you out! :)

The BBS wheels are what make that car IMHO. Not saying that wheelmania rims are not good, but you're going from the Rolls Royce of wheels to the Ford Fiesta of wheels. 3 Piece forged split rims to cheap cast mono-block. I quite like the look of some of the Wheelmania rims, but you're almost going backward by getting them.

 

If they were LMs I'd buy them off ya!

Cheers Si. I agree and I'm very tempted to keep the wheels and maybe use them or the others as a track set or something as they really are lovely.

That's great news.:dance: Enjoy it (responsibly of course!!!!)

Hey all

 

Here we go

They are very nice, but IMHO, the BBS look nicer and have a more aggressive offset. Doesn't look quite as distinctive as it was, but I do like.

I'm not 2 fussed on that style of wheel in general, but credit where it's due they look very nice from the pics! (as does the rest of the car):D

 

and it seems to have the pet's Approaval? :rofl:

Hey guys

 

Im in complete agreement. I'm getting the bbs's refurb'd while these are on the car and then will use the mania set as track tyres. They only cost me 80 quid and then 200 to refurb so I'm happy. Just had the local tyre place check that the BBS's will balance and they are fine.
