Patina, they've patina'd fairly fast ;)

Took a switch out and installed a voltmeter. Looking pretty Tidy in there. Just the clocks to change over and I'm done with the interior

[eefy]

Naill, was fitting the voltmeter as easy os connecting up to the back of the fuse box onto one of the spade connectors then? were they easy to get to? got one going in mine and just want some heads up ;)

I'll be honest, I had limited success finding a good connection on the fusebox(mainly due to inexperience) so I just scotch locked it into a live that was wired straight from the battery to my fan switch.

Re voltmeter, I fitted one in mine and was quite easy to find an ignition live on the fuse box and plug in. It will also light up, seperate connection. You can wire it to be lit all the time but I managed to get a feed from the dash circuit so it lights up when the lights come on and dims with the instruments with the dimmer wheel, Also pretty easy if you pop the radio out to find the wires with a meter.

Nightmare, my new ats cups won't fit over the callipers on the front, so now I'm stuck looking like some scene drift car until I can afford a set of some other wheels

Try some spacers, cheaper than a new set of wheels!

Spacers on there already, the brakes are too big, they touch the widest part of the rim. I'm thinking about filing down inside of the wheel a mm or two but I don't know know how well it would work if at all.

I know when I fitted a set of Borbet copies on my Storm for a bit they wouldn't fit, I ended up with 9.5mm spacers.
Bill on here runs ATS Cups, you could ask him if he had bother.

[Niall]

Ats cups are off, borbet a's 16''.
Needs to be higher as it's rubbing, but I think they look nice.

[Bill]

OH YES

[GTXTRA]

OH YES

agreed - NICE choice Niall.

[Niall]

Got a much needed oil change done today and have started instagram whoring.

After a wash and wax, them wheels is looking shiny.


Also bought some new JOM coilovers as mine are a bit beat up and seem locked in place.
Here's a pic of my nerdy coilover tattoo for fun.

7.5j up front and 9j on the back.
Can't remember the offset to be honest.
