i'd like to think it'd be done for end of feb early march (ish) as i said before it's just the wiring thats doing my head in, once thats done it'll soon be done, yours is looking well chris,when do you reckon yours will be done? bring on the summer!!!


kev R1 - 11/12/05 at 09:21 PM

just that nothing's really marked up. things like that, maybe if i spent more time in't garage instead of out on the lash in sheffield i'd get a lot more done!!!!

looking good kev,nice choice of wheels & tyres


joolsmi16 - 11/12/05 at 11:13 PM

Whats the model number of them wheels any idea on weight??


asn163 - 12/12/05 at 08:12 AM

Kev,

Likewise, nice choice of wheels.

Have you had any probs. with fitting the rears re. fouling centre caps?

Simon


cerbera - 12/12/05 at 01:20 PM

Name of the wheels are Wolfrace Steet Octane. As to weight would like to kow myself as Im after a set


TimC - 12/12/05 at 06:12 PM

Believe Wolfrace wheels are not exactly light - look superb though!



Edit: Before anyone thinks I'm 'havin a go' please seem my wheels!

no probs apart from having to fit longer wheel studs all round would've been fine with the standards i think but just a bit of over kill, not too sure on the weight but a damn sight lighter than my old TSW multi-spoke thingies! can't wait till the summer!!!!

Welderman, did you have any fitting probs? How did you resolve?

Believe original owner of Kev's car experienced fitting probs on rear.

Thanks,

Simon


welderman - 13/12/05 at 09:34 AM

There were no problems at all, fitted ok.


kev R1 - 13/12/05 at 07:38 PM

yeah they're 15's are those ones 17?


welderman - 13/12/05 at 09:42 PM

Yep 17's. How the build going the kev. You still want the swaged tube?.


Jasalarms - 14/12/05 at 12:10 AM

The only probs was the rear centre caps, hub shaft was pushing it off.

Simple cure, hacksaw off the excess on the shaft so it was flush with the hub nut.

Then cut out a hole in the cap then fit the wolfrace sticker thingy on

Job done!


asn163 - 14/12/05 at 12:50 PM

Jasalarms, thanks for the feedback.

Simon


Jasalarms - 14/12/05 at 07:21 PM

Those harnesses look great!!!


Hellfire - 16/12/05 at 06:25 PM

Don't think they are SVA compliant though Kev - although I may be wrong


kev R1 - 16/12/05 at 06:34 PM

should be hellfire you thinking about the metal adjusters? they are fia spec!


kev R1 - 16/12/05 at 06:35 PM

on securon website they are £170 each, i can get em 220 a pair if anyone's interested?


welderman - 16/12/05 at 09:53 PM

seats look good Kev. Will make up tube next week.


kev R1 - 17/12/05 at 10:35 AM

thanks joe, does anyone know as to why my belts might not be sva, they can be undone with one hand.


mad-butcher - 17/12/05 at 01:16 PM

sounds stupid but thyis was raised on another site FIA run higher spec than EU but if it ain't got E2 sticker on they won't have it... somethink to do with the catch not the belt.....And ease of removal by emergency services....I asked local fire brigade and ambulance and there reply was we don't undo buckles we cut the belt away completely
only advice is fit E2 approved for SVA and then like everthing to do with these cars fit what you want.

kev R1 - 18/12/05 at 04:33 PM

they have an orange tag on them that says FIA spec till 2009,
