Stu-E's GTi

[happyharrysco1]

yeah i see what your getting at, and it will help in that way to a degree, but as said there are better options to combat body roll

 

[Stu-E]

After a long hard debate i decided to go back to standard wheels for a while they needed some new rubber all round and after seeing everones 2p about tyres I found a place that did Uniroyal rain experts for 50 quid each fitted.

And here's how she sits now badly in need of a clean but it keeps f***in raining, haha

After a pair of 20mm spacers for the rears now and then it's MoT time the end of the month

cheers for looking.

Looks good buddy! Is that 195/50 profile size?

Update the thread with your thoughts on how good those tyres are, be interesting to hear.

 

[Stu-E]

Yes mate 195/50 gotta be better than 205/40/17 lol as soon as i go out in her i'll let you know

 

[Daze]

Ah yeah for sure, I haven't driven an Almera on 17s but IMO bit too large. 16s max I'd say

Stock wheels, low, spacers > best

 

[Stu-E]

Well i bought the 17's long time ago and love the style and did'nt feel too over the top at the time, but fancied a change and some comfort in my old age haha

 

[inahole]

Looks great, but yeah, spacers.

Then boost

 

[Chris180]

Looks alot better I reckon! Good choice!

 

[mera red gti]

hhhmmm Uniroyal's, good move. you'll LOVE how the car drives on 15's

 

[mov_mera]

GTi alloys always looks good

 

[Stu-E]

Ooooh I haven't had a car that handles like that for aaaaggeess even though its soaked outside she never gave once all I had was grip and more grip mmm hehe
Thanks for the comments guys as always

Finally the rain has gone away today and Paul came over at the weekend to drop some goodies round...
An open mouth option grill in blue so definitley needs spraying up in red.

And a huuuuge thanks to Spyke for popping down to see Sam and Corbs and picking up my passenger wing which i had totally forgotten about :whistle:
As mentioned the rain finally stopped and got busy this morning replacing my shite wing and found some compost,

After scraping all that out and finding no nasty surprises iron oxidewise so got busy with the underseal

I'll get the other side off tomorrow and give that a good going over as well.

rrrrrrrrrrusty coilovers

 

[Stu-E]

Ha ha not so bad they're covered in copper grease, they weren't in amazing condition when i got them off Ross .

 

[Mij]

Nice progress mate. Im going to have to do the same with both of mine.

 

[Stu-E]

Cheers pal i definitley need to do the other side I'm pretty sure i saw a tree growing there :ROFL:

 

[chunky]

Looks good pal

 

[happyharrysco1]

nice work bud, if only everyone did this to their cars every few years most rust would never happen!

 

[Stu-E]

Cheers fellas I've been meaning to do it for a while but always pushed to the bottom of the list lol.
Oh shit just realised I forgot to take wing fitted pics
Needs a bit of a mopping first as its a little pink .
