cullenmin Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 If it is 22B styling you are after then look here - http://www.htautos.co.uk/ Dont like that kit for some reason. Scooby clinic do a better one than them so if I was going down that route then scoobyclinic would be getting my trade. Thanks wilky for that link, very expensive just as i thought, good list of parts available there. Rich
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Just had a wee look at this site and it says some of the wheels DON'T fit road cars..why would this be ?cheers Could be to do with stud length, i know when i got my wheels i had to get longer studs and it was a bit of a pain to fit the rears.
frank c Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Could be to do with stud length, i know when i got my wheels i had to get longer studs and it was a bit of a pain to fit the rears. Thanks Andy Just wondered why they said the wheels *won't* find as apposed to *will need adapted* to fit.
ANDYJDMSTI Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Thinking back i also had to get the wheel slightly altered too to fit over the hub as the WRC hub is smaller.
wilky Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 WRC hubs are smaller so the centre hole in the wheel needs to be smaller than on road cars, and have longer studs, plus more up to date wrc cars have 4 stud wheels not 5. Callum W
AlanD Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I just cant help myself posting this lovely picture of the car at its spiritual home............. Its gallus. You were at Hypertech for alignment one day I was there. Car looks cracking in photo and in person! :waving-santa:
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Man I love this beast.......is sooo unique it's frightening. Saw it recently in Aberdeen and it drew a fair bit of attention !
wilky Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 Thanks for all the kind comments, I absolutely love the car and have to pinch myself sometimes when I look out the house window and see it. There are a few chips on the front so im getting the bumper repainted, and ill be putting big sexy mudflaps on as well, probably in yellow like the way scoobay did with his 22b, I liked the contrast of the yellow against the blue, and it will help protect against the big 235s throwing up stones.

colin_ross Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Who's doing the paint Callum? Will need some done soon myself when the new mods are complete.

oobster Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Cracking car, but has the rubber bit underneath the front bumper fell off? Or was it never fitted in the 1st place maybe?

That rubber bit is actually a carbon fibre skirt which I wore away and which made the car too low to do the McRae gathering. So I took it off, I have a new one to put on. Callum W
Guest CRAIG D Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Seen this car in the flesh. LOVE IT Looks much better in the flesh
