510 project update – New wheels

Iggy — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 12:26:30 +0000

Gots me some new wheels.

They’re a pair of second hand SSR Mesh wheels. The size is 15 inch by 7 inch wide with a +13 offset.

Tried them on the front and they just stick out. Nothing a little bit of camber won’t fix

Tried them on the rear. Could use a bit more of a negative offset. Plus the car needs some lowering.

All that’s left is to decide on a colour and to find another pair. Anyone got some?

More pics.

510 project – small update

Just a small update.

I sold my TRX rims to fund some other rims, which then got sold on me. So unfortunately she’s looking pretty sad with only two rims and her butt up in the air.

The 13’s don’t look too bad though….

I’ve redone the intercooler mounting because I was really hesitant in cutting up my front apron. I’ve done some rearranging of components and manage to ge the intercooler behind the grill and apron. Sooo happy.

NOTE: Still needs to go back a smidge and the panels aren’t bolted in/aligned yet.

More photos when I can remember.
