Think it's safe to say the spacers are good to have to stay. Might need to roll my arches a tad though. Anyone in north east any good at rolling? It definetly seems like a job I could fuck up lol.

What a difference! There are easy way to do it with a roller or with something like a wooden handle. The other option is if your back with Pip any time soon they can do it 👍
 
Cheers guys the difference is literally night and day. Is crazy how simply spacing the wheels 20mm effects the look so dramatically. I did move the car a little bit took hand brake off etc to make sure it had settled. To be honest just folding the inner lip up a little will probably sort it. The car also desperately needs a proper alignment so could add a smidge more camber.

To be honest next time I move the car it will probably be going for mapping and upping the boost to 1.4bar. Got a manifold to fit bt just waiting on my wastegates and exhaust housing then I'm going to convert her to ewg hoping for 500hp. @Nas80 has kinda agreed to make me a solid oil feed line.

I got mine rolled at that little body shop next to JM imports if that's any help.

Good to know Neil. Did they do a good job, no paint flake or cracking etc? Thats what worries me wreaking the arches.
 
Looked fine tbh, paint was all still good. I'll be going back there in spring to get them to do the rears and repair the light marks from my prior 100mph collision at croft.

I don't mind having a go at most stuff but i'm guaranteed to fdoc that up lol.
 
Few parts have arrived. Got enough to keep busy for a while until i get the few remaining parts.

My toe arms bushings are absolutely shafted so picked these up for a pretty decent price. Going to swap to fully adjustable rear camber arms and full poly bush swap the rest of the car very shortly but want to get the turbo conversion and mapping out the way first.

Just need to make some oil lines, modify my downpipe and make some dump tubes for the gates i should be converted to EWG. Then i can raise the boost to 1.4 bar and hopefully make 500hp or near.

With a switch to EWG I'd expect that you'll be comfortably above 500bhp at 1.4 bar 🙂

Fingers crossed. I mean to be honest the way it drives is the main thing. But be nice to have the 500hp pub number. I'll just have spring pressure of 1 bar and then high at 1.4 for emergencies lol.
