lescazscoob Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 well they have been lying around for long enough so i gave them a bit of a refurb myself and bolted them on today. they started out like this. what do you think? im not getting rid of the 18s just these are more practical the car is more agile and accelerates better and these will be what she is wearing when i make my trip to the nurbergring next summer.
wrxmania Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Looking good - how did you go about the refurb. And maybe a tyre upgrade before the Nurburgring [] Brian []

lescazscoob Posted October 1, 2006 Author Posted October 1, 2006 used a very light grade wet and dry paper to get rid of the nasty bubbles that were coming through then used a little fine suface treatment to fill the blemishes after all was set and as smooth as poss 3 coats of gloss black and 2 coats of laquer were applied they aint 100% perfect but they are pretty close and as for the tyres they are just what came on them when i bought them from ebay for the huge sum of £25 plus p+p and will probably be dead long before the trip to the ring so will definatly be getting changed.
lescazscoob Posted October 1, 2006 Author Posted October 1, 2006 Nankangs and 2-pots on the nurburgring..........[:|] im affraid the 2 pots will have to do for now as i dont have the money that some do on this site to upgrade them, yet i will be the first to admit though after a few hard braking corners etc the middle pedal does have a tendancy to feel like its made of wood lol which should make for an interesting lap lol nankangs will be shredded by sthe summer time next year and will be replaced with some yokos or perhaps some toyo proxes
euan_r Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 i think its a fine job. gonna do my mk1s and get some winter stickys on.
