:PMFactory! Helical ATB LSD £419.30, Power Rating: ~1000whp
I got mine for $650 dollars delivered including bearings and bolts when the dollar was weak… so less than £400 probably.

sorry for going off topic marco
-
What an amazing build. You bringing it to any shows/meets over the summer? I'd love to see it in the metal.
-

-
Sorry, meant to say in Ireland :)
-

-
Thanks Jay
jayom - I take it some up in antrim, like japfest take 2 in august and the reallymeansounds birthday meet. Will hopefully go to straightliners in enniskillen too if not bishopscourt for some drag racing. If you're ever up here give me a shout!
XYZ coilovers now fitted, very impressed so far. Ride quality is really quite tame/comfortable on soft. Need to get them setup decently, but it will have to wait for now as I'm changing to 16" rims soon. Could go lower but fat tyre/alloy/ offset combo puts things a bit close for now, plus bottomed out the metal skid plate a few times already!
Few shots up in Portrush for a day trip:

Oh yeah, rock 'n roll :wink: :D
-
So another largish update!
5 stud conversion!
PLUS SSR Type C forged rims 16x7" 30offset and nice and light :D I love them! 12.5lbs / 5.67kgHopefully gain some traction with fatter sidewalls.
Now running the 323f BA v6 slightly larger rotors and the larger pot calipers to matchStill need to:
-get tyres, hope they fit the arches with the little bit extra offset
-replace CV boot demolished
-bolt up the rest of the 5 stud gear on both sides
-
Very good !
How's items change for put hub with 5 stud ? I want to do that since a long time.
-
very very nice
-
wow ! thats a light rim.

@9bb44d3eec=youdirtyfox:
wow ! thats a light rim.
No lighter than my old Lorbers ;)
-
Looking good :D :D
-
looking good marco!, there are some very sexy rotas i like but only available in 5 stud!!. What are you doing with old wheels?
The rear brakes look larger ? or is it just the pic?.
Think you should change your username to the mad scientist !. :D
-
Old wheels are on ebay now Garfy. Just the pic unfortunately! Mx3 calipers in the same position.
lol at the username idea…
So this project lives on for now. I had started transferring things out of this car - carpc, coilovers, 5stud, sub, sub wiring etc etc so had to put it all back in after finding out my new purchase was scrap.
Finally the SSR Type Cs are fitted. I need to roll my arches a little, I had to camber out the rear to tuck the tyres under as it is. Some pics from Japfest:
-
would you put your car on my stand at heatwave? 21st of this month in swords
-
Thats looking great Marco.
Hope ya take up Rob's offer, I'd love to see this in the metal.
Btw, any word on what you're doing with the other one?
