Charlie

[karlj]

But I'll ring my usual bloke when he's open monday

 

[MicrAde]

Ideally 185/55 r15 but will go as low as 175/50

You'll struggle to get 175/50x15 in part worns Karl, I had a right job getting some, eventually got lucky though.

I know that's why ideally I want the 185's

 

[h701micra]

195/50 are common

Will check with my mate

 

[karlj]

Too wide for the wheel

 

[Enuo]

Too wide for the wheel

is it 5 or 5.5?
Also, would you take a 60 profile?

 

[karlj]

6" and 55 is the highest I can go at my ride height

 

[JoeK11]

6 should be ok for 195/50, lower profile could be iffy.though. seen 185s on stock steels ok and that's similar ratio

 

[h701micra]

Mine are 15x6 on 195/50s

 

[karlj]

I want minimal ballooning so 185 is the maximum

 

[MicrAde]

That's why I went for 175's on my 5.5's, even though they're a pita to find :/

News!!!

Had a visit today from Andy (enuo) so we could swap interiors

Fast forward from me having my morning coffee to us at the garage.

Here's an empty Charlie

Andy emptied his SS

Almost done

And finished

The only give away that this isn't my original interior is the door cards, but I have lecy windows, Andy doesn't.

All in all a couple of hours well spent

 

[karlj]

Oh and the licence plate is only in the window because I want to replace it

 

[h701micra]

So you were track spec... now not?

 

[MicrAde]

Karl needs a family car to replace his astra, I really wanted bucket seats, I think we came to a good arrangement

 

[h701micra]

Either way at least charlie will see the light of day

 

[karlj]

That reminds me Andy (h701) I owe you £9, I'm going to need the scrap wheels after all

 

[SirChris]

All of them?

 

[h701micra]

Oh ok matey no worries

 

[karlj]

The 15's I'm going to use the tyres

 

[karlj]

Wow an update

Removed the front suspension for the new owner



Left my spanners at home, so haven't done the rears yet.

Whilst at the garage I decided it needed a tidy so spent some time doing that...

Here's a small selection of the wheels I have there

 

[h701micra]

With a pile like that Karl you'll be catching me up...

 

[karlj]

That's just at the garage I have 7 bare wheels at my mums and 6/7 in my cupboard/shed thing

 

[h701micra]

You've more than caught me up then

 

[karlj]

You've more than caught me up then

I'll be going through them and scrapping/ selling what I don't want anymore.

Hell I'm willing to give them away lol

 

[h701micra]

Hmmm... dont say things like that
I still own £9 worth anyway

 

[karlj]

I have mostly 14's and yes you do

 

[Huggy444]

Any 13's by any chance? Could alway use some more...

 

[MicrAde]

I don't have 14" k11 steels but I do have Yaris ones, they have a smaller centre bore if you want them

 

[MicrAde]

I'll bear them in mind cheers mate, not gonna need any for a good while so will probably hold out for k11 one's

Cheers karl, time isn't an issue...

@micrade, slight hijack, but pm me if you want some 14" micra steels

Regretably I wasn't able to get Charlie to jae this year, but I will do everything I can to get her there next year.

BUT due to starting a new job I will have less time to tinker with her, so there will be fewer (if that's possible) updates to the run up to jae 2014

 

[karlj]

And MicraPRO, Clodo if I get her there next year you can both have a play
