just thought I\'d introduce myself, the names Pete. I actually used to be a member here about 5 years ago, but have just rejoined as I cant even remember my old user name. Some of you will know of me from fduk. well, dont have much else to say right now, and theres a car outside waiting to be cleaned in time for jts tomorrow. maybe I\'ll see some of you there..

Welcome back!

Some nice looking pictures there, be good to see the whole thing at some stage, or do you only have a one wheel, an engine (a very nice engine though!) a bit of bonnet and one windscreen wiper ;):D

We had a thread running on "stance" a few weeks ago and this car would have been well placed on that thread as your car sits real nice :Viking

thanks chaps.

Im not so sure it would clive, my wheel offset is a little high for the taste of most people these days :) to be fair I dont think these pics really show the true fit of the wheels. the rears sit just inside of the lip. although the lip has been rolled and they are very close, there is no protrusion at all. the fronts sit well within the arch, due to camber as much as anything else. Its just as well or I wouldnt be able to run the car so low. I do like the wide look with stretched tyres, but not at the cost of performance, and I just dont understand how people get the grip required with narrow tyres that people often use :burnout Im sure somebody will be along shortly to shoot me down :p
