Ricco\'s Ride

[Ricco_04]

Ahh good info - I know it may sound silly but I didn\'t know exactly what sizes and offsets I needed, so thank you for those :Thumbs-up  

My opinion that, as you say the white car has 18\'s, thats deffinately the size I would like! :mmmm

So im looking for 2 x 18"x 9" with +22 offset and 2 18"x10" with +25 offset with 2x 3mm spacers.  

Happy thinking indeed :3Confused :3Confused :3Confused   Here we go! :chat

I have 57F-PRO on mine in 18" so don\'t get those!!

Russ\'s Advans look really nice from seeing them on the Feed cars and his photochops, I think the TS Titans would look great, surely you can get a size that\'d fit! Otherwise I think the Advan RGII another one Feed has had would look equally as good, nothing new to the mix I know, but hopefully useful anyway for another viewpoint!

Failing that al look through the Amemiya gallery on their site shows lots of rims with the AD GT kit.

Well maybe I will! :Laugh  :spank

Your right, going to have to have a look through those photo\'s again.  I am pretty happy with the RGII\'s but will look around for a while as I want to make sure im happy with them.  Also need to decide on the colour, will have to take a decent side shot photo and do some very dodgy photoshop moment\'s!

A mate did a photoshop of the car for me with some wheels on and more importantly some paint!  It came out all cartooney (I think it looks good though! :yes  ha ha!!)

If it looks anything like this white RE:A one (that I made red) from Denmark your onto a stunning FD!!!

[nick english]

all of the hard work is gonna b worth it-looking good so far.
i had mine off the road doing it on weekends and took over 6 months!!!it killed me not being able to drive it but worth it now

[rextreme]

guys there are a whole bunch of new rims just released.

Work, Weds, Enkei and 5Ziegen all have new models and Rays RE30 now in 19"

[rextreme]

Wouldn\'t mind a set of these classy rims.

look great on the feed machine. 5zigen, cheap also.

Well I started on the flush lights today, took my time (as usuall! :rolleyes: ) and didnt get any near as much done as I wanted.  Took both popups out and managed to cur out the near side ready to fit the units.  I also repainted all the bare metal to stop it rusting.

Even though I only did that, at least it\'s a start and im quite pleased hwith how it looks.  Up earlyish tomorrow to try and finish the job.  I\'m booked in somewhere but im thinking I may have to delay! :spank

Good stuff :cool  I always find that not only do you get that extra bit of pride but you get more confidence when a job needs doing because you have had most of the car apart before! :yes

Oh god thanks - not more choice! :Laugh

But seriously, need to get looking again!

[Ricco_04]

Just a little update.  I have now purchased a wing and hopefully it should be delivered tomorrow

The car had been in the bodyshop 24 days and they started it today! :mad: Oh and it was outside too! :mad: :mad: :mad:  (front and back windows removed a week before bu another company) I went to see them a few times but I refuse to start peeing them off about time for obvious reasons (I questioned why it was outside).  I have a car off them so it\'s just a case of missing her.  At least it\'s given me the chance to get the wing and have it painted as it should be!

So all thats left now is to choose some wheels and fit the carbon canards when it comes back - all being well should be another 14 days! (38 days total without if all goes to plan! :Laugh )

hats off to you for pulling this off dude! Its gonna look amazing once done... unfortunately though...i think its gonna look TOO good (if such a thing exists) such that it wont look right with the backdrop of good ol blighty! I think its gonna look out of place in england!
CBA to read thru this all..is it gonna remain red? only lil ol me and my opinion but Id say leave it red..theres nothing worse than a red engine bay on an otherwise other coloured car!! Been there and defo wont do that again!

[RobbieRX-7]

Oh jeez, i can\'t believe this car isn\'t done yet. Why are they taking so bloody long? Im looking forward to seeing this done.

[rextreme]

May the projects complete and the driving start sooooooon

I\'m thinking about leaving the standards wheels on mine.... hahaha.

They are only good for body shop adventures.

Me too!!
Come on Ricco think you need to go give them a good :spank  and get them on to it! Or it could be your gen 2 will be done before! :Laugh

[Red and Single]

Just stumbled accross this thread, excellent work Ricco :cool :cool

Your choice of wheels will make or break this car, Advan RG\'s look awesome for me in 18" :chat

Good luck with it

[gmogle]

Blimey !! 24 days !!!! WTF have they been doing ?!!!!?

When you say left outside....do you mean without the windows ?!!!? Or left outside during the day and then inside during the evening ?

Will look ace when done !
