am ballagh tyre center ung lad workn there hes sound nuff ta do ne a that craic.
is he cheap? pat wants E85 for a 235-40-18 fitted, i though that was a good price, might go to that lad from now on so, sure if i have to drive through balla anyway it saves a bit of a trip :) must get onto jason as-well actually for some HID Lights.
i got 215/40/17s uniroyal rain sports savage tyre . 65 each new . tink they kep the 1s you want instock mosta the time i fink .ya jay is in spain dis week n hols wnt be bk til nxt saturday
i second this opinion. i hate overs on s15's, they're one of few cars that look orgasmic with stock aero. looks sick though otherwise, i'm excited to see this build progressQuote:

the other side, they seem symetrical enough but ill have to wait until the wheels are mounted so i can fine tune each arch.

currently still waiting for my other wheels to be delivered, as if they have a low disk face ill split the back wheels again and swap the faces so i wont have to run as much camber on the rear to tuck the rim.
so its just a waiting game.
what company did you buy your bumper from mate
Guy in england called martin had to do a lot of backtracking to find him, cant remember the company name but i can get it and put you in touch or get you his e-mail if you wantQuote:

need to lower the rear and take out a bit of camber but couldnt be arsed today.
and im still fairly confident ill be getting rear overfenders too. :/
also is ti normal for a lil air to be leaking out between the tyre and lip? i was told they usually do that for a few hours till they settle in.
he didnt use any bead sealer so will i have to let the air out of the tyres and put some bead sealer on and pump them up again?
the rear arches look awesome rolled :)
i honestly wouldnt bother with wings or overfenders cos it looks awesome like that. to make the front fit all ya gotta do is put in the camber to the max, and i tiny bit at the back and your fitment will be perfect
in my eyes the car is perfect like that!!!
Agreed leave the body aloneQuote:

Yeah can run the loom thu the engine bay with out cutting any wire i did it to my one was handy or move the fuse box inside the car took me awhile to move it but was deffo worth it
hmm i would love to movethe fuse box into where the passanger airbag was but i planned on sorting the engine bay and engine side of things next year, might just pull it out and oute it through the bay for now i should have done that the first time but ya live and learn, any tips for bringing it through the bay?
Lobbed on the bumper and lowered the rear,
before i started a better look at the arches

took it down the road and nearly destroyed the front bumper so ill have no choice but to lift up the front a bit, but before that im going to put the transport box on the John deer and pull out the margin in the middle of the road :) seems the easier solution... migh have to do the road all the way into sligo then aswell :P haha

That looks savage man fair play, just keep rolling and pulling the fenders, no need for overfenders. Looks perfect as is. Just hammer and modify everything as is until its driveable like that.
Your other bumper looked better....
That is the perfect s15! Please do not put overfenders on the car. As said above pull the shit out of the original arches. Would not change a thing about it!:cool:
man its a serious lookn s15, what offset wheels are on the front ? they rubbing ?? tiz a pain lowering an s15 as the front bumper sticks so far out in front of the car and hits the ground very easy.
18x10 -6 give or take a lil bit but thats what i worked them out to be, rubbing on everything at that height lol, ill have to cut up the metal to try and lift the entry point of both the bonnet cable and loom because as soon as you full lock with the suspension compresssed the tyre will clean them out haha. ya it is and the bumper was so expensive i dont want to destroy it within the first week on the road, might trim the bottom of it and lift it up a half inch will make things so much easier but not keem on that either.Quote:

ya sure let me know what its worth to ya and ill have a think about it, have another vertex bumper aswell so its a bit surplus.
its just a vertex fiberglass bumper with the peice off a original bumper bonded onto it.
Ah was thinking i never seen one without the gap in the middleQuote:
