[Rangerallen]

Yea corsa bs on the front and polo 6n's on the rear

 

[skymera]

How did you camber?

 

[Rangerallen]

Just filed the top hole of the bottom coilover mount at the back of the hole thus bringing the top in

 

[mottymicra]

If you could mill a slot into the coilie holes that bolt on the the hub that's one way of getting adjustable camber. Like the coilies

 

[Rangerallen]

Todays job
Pick up and fit

 

[Rangerallen]

Came yesterday

 

[EnterScott]

How did you go about removing the nissan badge to spray it? Wanting to do it to pass some time today

 

[Rangerallen]

I took the grills out and got a slot head screwdriver and poped it out from the back cleaned the foam off the back and off the car i would go halfords buy some sticky foam and some paint prep whipes they clean the foam off really well

 

[Rangerallen]

Fitted the sportex exhaust today

Nice poke although the fronts look like the poke to much? Or is it the angle?

 

[Rangerallen]

No i need to roll my arches so thats the next job

 

[Sdperkins]

Yeah defo need to roll them. Should get some stretched tyres on those alloys, would fit nicer under yours arches

 

[SK193]

What size wheels & tyres are they? They look really good, suit the car so well

 

[MarkTracey]

Looking good mate really suits the wheels, would look much better with the bumpstrips removed

 

[Rangerallen]

Today did some patch work on it

 

[Harlen]

I love this car, does everything right. And you're rocking alley cats so naturally I'm inclined to love it

Great job on the patch work too mate looks well tidy

 

[Sdperkins]

Looking nice

 

[Rangerallen]

All clean now auto glym

 

[Jay101]

Very clean.

 

[SK193]

Great looking car, I love the alley cats what are the specs on them?

 

[Rangerallen]

Great looking car, I love the alley cats what are the specs on them?

They are 13x7 and 4x101.6

 

[Sdperkins]

They are 13x7 and 4x101.6

Does that mean they are drilled out to 4x100 ??

 

[karlj]

Does that mean they are drilled out to 4x100 ??

No need 101.6 fits ok just need spigot rings and wobble bolts

 

[Sdperkins]

No need 101.6 fits ok just need spigot rings and wobble bolts

Really? When I tried 101.6 they never went on? Must be a tight fit?

 

[karlj]

Really? When I tried 101.6 they never went on? Must be a tight fit?

Mine have been on and off several times, what was stopping yours from going on?

 

[Rangerallen]

There are two types of mini wheels as ifound out first ally cats i had 13x8's and they where a direct 101.6 where as mine are a loose 101.6 so they fit with wobble washers

 

[Sdperkins]

The thread, would have ripped bits out on points of each bolt.
