A Skyline R33 IIRC

never to leave your hands again I now bet. Good to see it back

I just can't help myself.......and my wheel fettish.
Set No. 7 on it's way.

I was only after some tyres.........

Hope to get them next week ;) this then bides me some time to get the PFF-7's refurbed later rather then sooner.

Come on give us a clue as to what they are or do we have to wait.......

Would like a new set for mine in the new year, possible 18's

These in Gunmetal :

very nice will look good on :doubleup:

Very nice, been gandering at a set on evil bay new with a very similar design. Good choice for big caliper clearance.

Very nice Scott. Though, I have always liked the prodrives on your classic. It looks just right. Be interesting to see how these look aswell though :doubleup:

Don't worry the Prodrive PFF7's won't be going far....well only as far as Lepsons for a refurb.
The tyres are shot and the wheels are scuffed up and I can't afford to do both at the moment.
The Altec's came up for a good price and include nearly new tyres, so foolish to turn them down. They are also a wheel I've looked at before, so would like to see how they look.

What size are they?

Took the scoob out today... well reversed it out the garage.
Only to check the condition of the tyres, to be sure my purchase of the Altec's was not wasted ;).

Refitted the rear bench, after my friendly MOT'er spotted it was loose.
Turned out that the guy that bought the car from me had fitted an uprated fuel pump but obviously had no clue how the back seat was held in. He managed to snap the hooks off the bulkhead where the rear backrest clips in....muppet. Had to do a bit of bulkhead bending and cutting to get it to hook back on, but not 100% happy wth result.
Will see how it goes, but I might have to rivet a bracket on or self tap some new hooks of some sort on there.

I keep finding the odd little niggle that the guy managed to do, I'm just glad I got the car back before he really fooked it.

I know there only little things but he didn't have it long. I think all these were done by the guy that initially bought it from me who had it for 5 months, then sold it to Nick who I got it back from :

Dry glue on the centre console
Dry glue on the top of dash where he tried to re-fit the corner pod. Thankfully it's under the pod.
Dash scratched through vinyl by corner pod
Carpet clip missing that retains the drivers floor mat. Mats were replaced but for some reason decided to rip the clip out of the carpet (has anyone got one ??)
All 4 wheels scuffed
Rear bumper replaced including number plate bullb holders, brackets and screws with what looks like new. Checking under it during the MOT nothing else is damaged and the rest of the rear end is still original.

Hopefully I won't find too much more.

What I have been able to confirm though is that the Apexi ECU map is still the mine as it matches the last map I put on in my laptop.
Despite it spending time at Clive Atthowe for a remapping and RR session.
Apparently it's been remapped to run on normal unleaded !!!! No doubt he was charged for the privilege.

Not sure if they are 7.5 or 8 width but 18 diameter.
Running my correct tyre size of 225/35 x 18

look similar to those on your hawk

Indeed they do, although 1 spoke less.
I would of kept the Hawk ones but 114 PCD was a good enough reason to sell.

Ultra lites arrived today, well packaged and tyres have plenty of tread.

Paint is a little flakey but I knew that, and not too worried for a 2nd winter set that can soon be re-painted. No scuffs whatsoever.

However one tyre has a nice nail in it, close to the sidewall so will get it checked tomorrow
The scooby breaker is dead gutted. He thinks it's from some racking he has just assembled and couldn't be more apologetic. If things all work out I will post up details as the guy deserves a mention for his services and praise for his attitude.

:oops:Look forward to seeing pictures once they're fitted Scot

Had it checked today at Victoria tyres and it's scrap. The screw is too close to the sidewall for a repair especially as it's a 35 profile.
Just waiting for confirmation from the seller on the final way forward. But hat's off to him so far, he could of adopted such a different attitude.

thats a pain in the 'A':sadnod:

Refund recieved to cover the cost to replace the tyre, so A1 service provided from http://www.polepositionuk.co.uk/index.php

Pole position, are these the people building a monster 2 door purchased from GRD? Looks like it will be a proper weapon.

These things happen, it's the way they get sorted that counts.. Sounds like a top bloke

Matty @ Pole Position is a top, top bloke

have you put on your new wheels yet scott,any pics

No mate, they are all prepped and ready to paint but lack of dry weather and poor health over christmas prevented any progress.

Well with all the Christmas Illness and the damp weather at the moment I have only managed to prime up the wheels.
Got all 4 primed Friday afternoon hoping to do the top coat at the weekend but although not raining the ground and air was pretty damp all weekend, so it'll have to wait.

You must really get through decks of cards;-)

Nice job!! if you sell these let me know!!

Nice job there looking forward to seeing what these look like on, wonder where the card trick idea came from...........whistle.

Yeh that trick of yours is a good one. Makes masking up nice and easy and so far far one £0.75p pack has done 4 wheels front and back.

I did splash out another £0.75p for another pack for the top coats & laqeur.

Lol, awesome. Just love the fact that once the paint has dried you can go out there with a cuppa in one hand and remove the cards with the other effortless and stress free then stand back and admire your work!

love your quote :ok:
the wheels look good in primer scott,put them on the car and take a pic :wink:

Well, finally got round to finishing the painting of the wheels yesterday. Spent the afternoon in the garage with a heater and a hairdryer. Probably inhaled far too much spray paint while at it too.......

All set to put them on this morning, only to find they don't fit....DOH!!!!!.....

They fowl the Brembo calipers on the front.
They could be spaced, but I am on the limit of offset on the Classic already on 225's and an ET51 on the Prodrive PFF7's. These Ultralites are ET48, so no chance of spacing these without fowling the rear arch or getting them rolled.

So they will be going up for sale, with the proceed's going towards getting my Prodrive PFF7's refurbed.

Bugger. That's a shame Scott. They look fantastic though and sure they will be snapped up

Very nice paint job mate!!!

`Well, finally got round to finishing the painting of the wheels yesterday. Spent the afternoon in the garage with a heater and a hairdryer.`

Nice job there Scott :doubleup: so talented :worthy:, able to paint and do your hair at the same time :-D

They look very tasty!!!!! Nice finish.

That's a shame they don't fit mate, they look great (and the paint job...)

thats a shame scott,might sound silly but couldnt you change the brakes.like the ap ones on steveppp car.

My APs would go behind them, but it's a lot of money to spend just to make the wheels fit!

K-Sports ;) Would have loved APs, but too much cash :(

Think the Brembo's suit Scott's car - they're far more in keeping with the OEM look he's got going on, as they were Subaru supplied (even if it was on newage).
