Looks like all the other Mk1s now.

I reckon the white wheels were untold better.

As to the comments from QLD, I`m not pointing any fingers, but I know how the car was when it left me and how it was when it returned. That is all.

I like the steelies more than the white wheels actually. Looks cleaner. It might just be the fact that the steelies have dish but i really think, in my opinion, that they suit it better.

[Jarred]

hmm.. I wasn't a huge fan of the white wheels, but they did suit the car. The steelies dont really match the 'look' imo. a mk 1 is a bit of a boy racer car afterall!

ultimately, it's up to you, but I'd keep my eye out for a set of nice 15's.

I suppose the most important thing with the wheels is are you losing any width or grip?

I liked the wheels and with flared arches and a front lip like that, as well as the remaining styling of the car you're still going to get the fully sik hektic bro racer rice bois coming at you anyway.

Cheers,
Trent

Yes, I suspect these wheels will be a stop-gap.

I would like to keep the record straight with any work i have done to the car too in case there is any false pictures being painted, next to nothing, all i did was get the thing running when it had the non start condition and thats the 1st time i had actually laid eyes on it, which was just before it was picked up, otherwise not a finger near it, cant comment on anything else as i never really looked at anything else, just got it running to get it away.

Ha, lets just leave it at that. The car is how it is now and I will make good of what I have and not what it was.

I had some antics today with purchasing the wrong diameter fuel hose. It was due to the bracket holding the air flow sensor failing under the weight of the pod I assume. It was enough to wear a notch in the filter and now I need to hunt for another one to replace it. I have made a bracket but it means the air flow sensor is upside down. This in all my understanding should not prove a problem. While I was at it I cleaned all of the components to the throttle, quite grimy (from the over fill of oil I'm assuming).

Still trying to work out a solution for the mounting of the FPR.

As for the wheels, the steel are not to replace the white ones per se. The plan was to get the steels for more standard look and to be a bit more discreet when required. (like when moving in to the new neighbourhood where we are relocating to soon ).

Eventually the right wheels will appear on her. But all I know is the suspension height is awesome to make even the steelys look good.

[mikinoz]

Here is a bad shot, an improvement on the other night though.



New K&N filter fits the engine bay better.

Car still hunts by about 400rpm, but has a high idle as well. Waiting for the Corrado ECU before I hunt the issues down though.

love the steelies!!!

look heaps better than those white wheels, they were horrid.

keep up the good work Mik!
