The sil80

picked up some skid wheels from eoin on here 2 or 3 weeks ago, a pair of volk f-zero challenge wheels, sanded them down and sprayed them up, didnt turn out 100% but happy enough with them as they are only skid wheels so didnt need to be perfect... some before and after pics

The car is looking well Dave.

cheers greg, still think keli is mad selling hers.

[Greg]

She isn't putting a whole lot of effort into selling it, so she'll probably keep it. We must get pics of both cars together some day.

[dave_sr20]

ye must do. was actually planning on heading down your direction to the beach today but the rain changed that

[Greg]

Wait Would have been a fun drive with the slippy roads.

bit of an update on this. its been off the road since christmas, it hadnt been running right and while i was trying to figure out what was up with it, it stopped running altogether. so long story short i got fed up with it and parked it up.

with the good weather lately i got stuck back into it and got her running again, simple fix in the end just needed a new fuel pump. i had it in my mind that it wouldnt be as a cheap as simply changing a pump so i had saved up a few quid expecting worse. so with the spare cash i ordered a few new bits and pieces.

first of which arrived today from ep racing.


waiting on a few more bits and pieces to arrive and then ill be sending her off for a respray, while she was parked up she developed a serious case of lacquer peel. ill keep the thread updated as the changes are made and hopefully she turns out as good as i picture it in my mind.
