I'll defo pop over for a chat if you have time. Hopefully we won't be strangers as i'm going to try and get down to Oulton Park in March.

Sounds like a good job. Do you follow the touring cars to all the races?

Be great if you can get down to Oulton in March mate.

Yes mate, will be at every meeting next year Plus probably renault world series aswell. :bigthumb:

What you going to be doing at the Btcc dude? I'll be at donnington in VIP for the day!

Gus, Are you still looking to get a new cage, there's an offer coming up you may be interested in

[gus-ep3]

Really want a weld in Rob. :salut:

Bought myself a set of Evo 8 Enkei's. Soon to be orange with WTCC Yoko Advan full slicks.

[bornlucky1]

not at the moment mate, still on my car.

[gus-ep3]

The Michelins were ok, had a bit more grip than the R888's, but were only about 205's, so really skinny. The Dunlop/Yoko slicks from the WTCC/BTCC are 240/235's, so will be much better.

Need to join the Evo wheel club man. Looking good Gus.

I want these ones, if I can find a set:-



Sell that Mugen and get a weld in cage, you know you want to

[gus-ep3]

You do! 8 inch wide rims ftw. Really want 9 inch, but that's mega arch work. Try Ebay, there's looooooooads on there. :bigthumb:

Yea mate, i really want a weld in. Just can't afford it this year. Will keep saving up and maybe next year. Heading to Oz at the end of the year for a wedding and tour, so funds are tight. :salut:

[Kris888]

Nice one gus, will look mean in Jaffa!
My EVO alloys were light as flip bet these are too


Kris

[gus-ep3]

Meh, no really mate. Prob the same as the OEM EP3 Enkei's. Mind yours were 16 inch and OZ's. I liked the look of them, just too small to clear the brakes. :salut:

I hope they suit being jaffa's!

I bet the grip from those will be insane

When I did Oulton for about half a day I was suprised by the levels of grip ad08's produced and there not even semi slicks, maybe it was just me been a feline and not driving hard enough

Were 17's Dude :O may have been because i was comparing them to the BULKY standard sport wheels! haha

Need a Jaffa cake sticker on it...preferably a half eaten one A.K.A Half M00n :rotflmao:

[ND1989]

I like. Be good to get a good look in the light once i EVENTUALY buy a set of springs. I really wanted your wheels kris. Beaten to the punch. Story of my life.

[gus-ep3]

Bower - I imagine they will be pretty serious. The Michelin slicks were pretty impressive and they were about 205 wide, these are 240's.

Kris - Were they?? They looked small. Maybe the concave spokes made it look that way. I know!! How heavy are EP2 alloys!!!! They must be made of cast iron!!
Hmmmm, Jaffa Cake sticker could be an idea.

Neil - It's not much to look at the now mate. Front end is off it. The only thing still fitted is the engine.

[gus-ep3]

I couldn't resist, they're so pretty. Bargain price aswell!!

Those are lovely wheels

Need to bargain hunt on Ebay more often....

[gus-ep3]

There's loads of sets going cheap the now. You need to stop blowing your cash on wire brushes and sand paper.
The budget is getting stretched again this year, but these were too much of a bargain to pass on. Came with 2 good slicks and 2 trashed. The guy must have been a wild man! They've been worn past the canvass!

[gus-ep3]

The old girl's taken a beating over the last couple of years, so sorting out a few issues and tidying up a few bits.

Looks a bit like this.... Again....






And my garage looks like this....

[Bower]

Can't beat a good tidy up Gus, Im sure it will be fantastic once its all built up again [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]
