Jimbo, we have fitted tyres to alot of freshly powder coated wheels, as twellsie sais, they can be soft, just make sure your fitters are carefull, i have done onse that have come direct from the coaters before now and not marked them, but you have to be gentle with them!

 

i will be cleaning the escos friday,putting her back in the garage,going to see fast and furious fri night,working saturday and then she comes out sunday for the drive up to the pod she will look fine but wont be full power still

 

Apex'll do Jimbob.



Dont let anyone you know take their car to Creightons (The 'bishi dealer near Porcelanosa) to have tyres done...they had to pay to refurb all 4 of my old mans wheels after they fucked them up.

 

obviously purple. luke like a big purple helmet

 

ok mate ill leave it as late as possible before fitting them

ill ask the fitter (hes a good fitter does alot of powder coated rims for the escos track car ) to put loads of soap around them so its nice and easy

cheers for pointing that out mate

 

dan at crightons is ok, he would make sure theyre delicately put on lol

even so, im taking them to apex, the old man knows a lad in there who will be reeally carefull

 

im ready to rock and roll, got the car done just in time.

also gonna be camping with lots of beer!

 

also remember to take a wheel brace with you, as after you have driven on them for a while, they will torque up a little more

 

ooh good point, i will sand down the back face, but ill jst have to check them as where the nuts face will be where it'll get loose !

 

I'll see if my dad can let on who fitted his at Creightons. He was NOT a happy boy.

What colour did you decide on in the end Jim?

 

 

mind...gutter...

 

wait and see

woo hoo!!! just got the running problem sorted, we now have full boost once again!!

just got the TCA bushes to do on saturday, a bit of hoovering and a final polish and i am done

 

doh !!!!!

 

what was the problem mate ?

 

I will be going yes, the cossie isnt quite done but I will be there in the Bro`s white `07 Focus ST

 

the little plastic union thingie that has a hose from the plenum to the fuel pressure reg, had come loose, as soon as the turbo started to spool, it would cut the boost and back fire, it took me fooking ages to track down

 

nope,cars not going to make it!!!.. bringing my french van instead...lol
