mk2! immac

[Jarred]

yea mate, we're not trying to stop you, we're just trying to let you know that i'll be expensive. You can always calculate the main costs, but it's all the small things that add up, trade discount or not.. (alothough it will come in handy no doubt., p.s. where do you work btw?)

Seriously, if you get it done for less than 5grand - you've cut corners!

[mk2er]

hahaha dont really wanna cut corners the dodgey way but yeah might not get that motor it will be a pain in the ass though its like putting a sr20det from an s13 into a n14 pulsar

but anyways how does watanabes on a golf mk2 gti sound?



they look exactly like that and my golf gti is a 4 door and it is pretty immac hey ill get pictures hopefully soon when i put them wheels on?

i was gonna go bbs but a mate was asking if i wanted his wheels for 400 bucks which are genuine watanabes and hey why not
just needs some opinions?

oh and for jarred i work at a toyota dealership and i am a 3rd year i got another 6 months till im 4th year sso shweet



it does look pretty good

[Jarred]

second pic is not a mk 2... :S

I've always found wheel choices for mk 2's tough. BBS RS/RM are an obvious choice, and for obvious reasons. All depends, if you think it looks good who gives a stuff! haha

[mk2er]

Yeah I Know that's a mk1 I'm just saying it looks pretty nIce

[mk2er]

They do look good, especially if they are black. Are they the right PCD, 4x100? What width & offset are they? High offsets will give you problems.

The wheels on the MK1 are Rota RB's too, cheap copies.

[mk2er]

yeah she is tinted but im thinking going abit darker a fella at work does all the tinting on the new cars and he said hell do it for a good price somewhere around 150 i think
--

i didnt know they were rota rbs
but yeh the watanabe are black there 15x6.5 and im pretty sure there +34 on the offset it came off a civic which is 4x100..whats a good offset for the mk2 golfs anyways?

[walshydub]

Good offset depends on the width of the wheel, mine are 7" all round with a +30 offset, they sit perfectly, so +34 should be good.

Only issue might be the centre bore, it's 57.1mm for the MK2 where as i think the Civic would be 60+mm.

Either way, get 'em on, it'll look good

[walshydub]

Did a quick & very rough photoshop for you

[mk2er]

mad that looks phat...yeah the wheels are exactly like that, exact same ones from initial d on the ae86

[Jarred]

civic has a 56mm CB, and the offset will probably be OK, but you might want to space it a tad, for phatness

[mk2er]

so i got the rims...tyres are off need to get them repaired but off gutter rash and then sandblasted then painted, but wat goes good with red?...i was thinking of painting the wheels orangey bronze colour or yelllow

Win.

Obvious you dont have RS's, but the colour concept still applies

[mk2er]

i was thinking of painting those black gaurds and sideskirts red and make it blend in with the car or does it look better with black? i need an opinion thats all
