Ricco\'s Ride

[Ricco_04]

Thought I should update this one while im at it!

Again old photos but I dont expect any progress since :Nono!  Apparantley they are just working on the carbon undersweep, a few bits of trim and fixings and then I can have it back and relearn how to drive it again! :Laugh (and still buy wheels!)

Ok, uploaded Pictures .............

Looking good Ricco... Can\'t wait to see it finished (same for you I guess!!).

Looking forward to seeing it in the metal as well Are you still going for the SSRs?

[Ricco_04]

Howdie dude, yeah, think I need it back now :giggle

At present moment I now decided RGII GT-R is better overall :InLoven  (wonders how long before changes mind again :o)

Whats the countdown to on your car now?  You counting in weeks or days? :Thumbs-up

[Macer]

I\'m counting it in months unfortunately!! It should be around the end of August... Having the new seats fitted meant a bit of a delay, and the shipping date has just been put back another week - still, it gives me time to save some money!!
 
Advan RGII\'s would look the business, especially with the nice GT-R taper. I have crazy plans in the back of my mind to buy some of those as a second set (It\'ll probably never materialise though!).
 
I still like the SSR\'s though. Either would suit your car really well... So many choices eh!

[Ricco_04]

Ah im sure it will be here before you know it & it will be deffinately worth the wait :cool

Im sure we\'ll build up a stock of wheels betwene us we can change throughout the year! :Giggle

[interloper393]

WOW!! that must be like a year they`ve had this now? id be bloody raging n jumping up n down like a baby wh`os chucked his toys out the pram.. tiz looking sweet tho bud..

[Ricco_04]

lol yeah they have had it for ages but I have also had their BEAST of a Clio for the same time - man that thing rocks!! :WaveBye


I miss my FD now!


Was reading your potential FC project :yes - you have one on the way?

[interloper393]

maybe... dunno if im ready for another one yet... ma jobs crap n i want out, house prices are dropping like hell so maybe a chance to grab a bargain lol..

[Ricco_04]

Im sure time will tell.  I was looking for a house over the last year.  Given up now as the market is still unstable.  Maybe start looking again in another 6 months depending on how the economy / credit crunch is doing.

Anywah, decided to take the plunge and order my wheels last night! (finially!)  Tried to pay several times and it wouldnt work :spank in the end decided to bank transfer and still it wouldnt let me do that either! :rolleyes:  Happy days! :Giggle

[Macer]

Im sure we\'ll build up a stock of wheels betwene us we can change throughout the year! :Giggle

Ha ha, yeah, I like the sound of that...
 
So what did you (try to!) order then?

[Ricco_04]

Went for the RGII\'s in the end (GT-R Design)  I figured I liked them better as there was a bit more design to them  Cant wait now

Its a race to see what I get first - wheels which have to be made & shipped several times & go through customs

or

FD back from bodyshop with 2 jobs left on it! :rollin

Im betting on the wheels!  (Better go work on the FC then, think I could get it done in 3 weeks! :spank)

[Macer]

Cool :cool

What colour have you gone for? Shame they don\'t do the bigger sizes in bronze...

[Ricco_04]

Yeah I was very tempted with bronze but as you say only in the smaller sizes.  I went for the silver ones in the end :wiggle

Still waiting for a chip reader from the bank so I can pay! :rolleyes:  I hope Newera carry on with the order anyway! :Giggle

[Ricco_04]

Only got the car back today! :rolleyes:  There are still several issues which need sorting but nothing you can see.

Took it from the bodyshop and right to the MOT.  Emissions I was pleased about.  Full decat and only failed on Lambda! :WaveBye (0.97 to 1.60 was the target and mine was 1.72)

Looking forward to my wheels being delivered - hopefully on Friday from Newera :mmmm

Tomorrow I have to crack on and get the engine and turbos changed & swap over the primary rails & injectors (850\'s). Hopefully it will go without too much fuss! :Giggle

It started raining just as I was about to start work - fingers crossed it will be dry tomorrow.  I have a gazebo I could use but I only just put it away! :flamed

[Macer]

Cool! Bet you\'re glad to have it back :cool

Good news about the MOT as well... Bet you can\'t wait for those wheels, but sounds like you\'ve got plenty to keep you busy in the meantime

Look forward to seeing this beast soon - but get some pics up when the wheels arrive :yes
