Sam's Proper MX-3 - LT Turbo project *Parting out*
-
Thanks Fellas, I do try to think outside the box :lol:
Nice idea Jay, it would work well they are rather expensive on postage!
Think I'd rather go a bit on the drift rear bumper to acheive those spats though :)
-
you can get them cheaper than that it was mainly for the pic lol

-
Oh yeah thats better :D

Got noooo money for bodykit, as you can see Im playing with buttons :lol:
-
Went to debadge the boot this morning expecting to find the same holes as
in the bonnet, but no the badges were just stuck on!
So a quick TF-90 and soft cut seesion means Im fully debadged now :D

-

-
looking great fella whats next on the list to do lol
-
I have too admit, that looks fucking lush.
-
Thanks Chaps :D
Plan is…
Fit new wheels
Arches rolled by Archenemy.
Drop ride height another 10-20mm next.
AEM F/IC piggyback ECU install.
Aluminium power steering and washer pump reservoir.
Buy and fit SPEC clutch.
Fit up Turbo, injectors and intercooler.

Sounds simple when you put it like that.
-
does doesnt it, will be plenty of blood, sweat and tears though :lol:
-
spoiler alert!
Really hard to know if the arches need rolling or if they will tuck under
with some camber without getting a 195/50 tyre on.
-
what offset are they? the front looks very unlikely! mine are et30, 205/50/16 front and 205/55/16 rear. All are cambered, esp rear and all rub a bit, but not alot. I've started rolling the rear arches. You look to have gone a step further with offset!
-
Yeah Im doubting now looking at it again. The rims are 15 x 8 ET15, going
for a bit of stretch with the 195/50 tyres.Have you hired an arch roller or you going ghetto?
-
Mr Baseball Bat came out to play lol… it's quite neat if you take your time.
hmmm optimistic on that one... rolled and flared?! Maybe mad camber and the stretch will do it but I'm not sure.
-
lol thought he might, heatgun too?
Im really tempted to DIY as Archenemy is £130 to roll all four.
Think Im going to have to get a scrap tyre of one of the new rims to see where it's at..
-
haha nope cold and crackly. I'm derusting my arches as they're bubbly. If my arches were pristine I probably would have paid or hired a roller tool. I had little to lose, I knew I'd be rust treating anyway so I just went for it :lol:
Yes I thoroughly recommend setting up a test tyre to try. I first got 2x part worn 205/55/16 then found out there was noway they were sitting under the front happily.
