Same here, I'm still waiting on the tickets. Sounds good, I bet you can't wait to get her on the road! Speaking of which, when will she be out and about?
-
Why have you changed the front arches mate? That 10% better increase as you have to come to Japfest

I have quite a dialogue going with the man behind the magic at slammed UK, he says that there are two white gt86s that have applied, I let him knowthe rocket bunny was from the same club as me, sounnds like all of us thathave applied have got into it so far! Hopefully I should be doing a photo post for their emblem hoody tonight and it'll be on their instagram, if you get 5 minutes give them a follow guys
I believe it's simply @slammeduk
That's great news. Can't wait.
I could imagine he has loads of applications to go through Jordan. Just think, you will be able to spend the whole day hating my car. Excellent

I'm not even kidding, we've been looking at new cars to tow the 86 and a trailer with a tyre rack
You'll need these wheels for you trailer. Pimp my trailer...

Haha you'll need a tow bar and trailer to move them all soon.

Selling my Rota Grid Drift Alloys as I have changed alloys now.
They are 18" Gold 8.5" Wide front & 9.5" Rear. The staggered look, really works well with the GT86.
The tyres are Falken Ziex ZE914 tyres. The rears are pretty worn and ideally need replacing and the fronts have around 3mm of wear left before they need changing.
Front tyres are 215/40 and rears are 225/40.
The alloys have a few kerbs and chips on them, but nothing deep.
I have misplaced one of the centre caps, so i only have 3.
I'll also chuck in my spare set of TPI locking tuner nuts which haven't been used.
Collection only from Wrexham (I could meet someone fairly local if needs be)
£500

I've just applied for the show and shine as well. I'll be there either way

Took her to Cars and Coffee Liverpool on Sunday, what a day. A well organised event, and some fantastic cars there, so here are a few pictures I've pinched off the facebook page taken by other people (I hope they don't mind me using them):
I had to lift the rear suspension as the wheels were slightly catching on the newly installed splash guard.Needless to say I am incredibly happy with the end result. Nigel has done a cracking job with the arches, which fit perfectly and Lee from Autokraft has done a spot on job with the installation of the kit!The wheels are extreme, I think this is the perfect to describe them. Rich from Demon Tweeks has managed to get the 10.5" Wide ET46 rears to fit, using -5 deg of camber. For all those people who say it isn't practical I know, but in the flesh it looks stunning, and lets be honest it isn't a practical car.However I did fit the baby seat in the back yesterday and we went out for a family journey in it.A lot of modifying was required to get the fronts to fit, not modifying Nigels arches but the actual car arch as the wheels were too wide. On full lock the wheels only just miss the back of the front headlight unit by a few mm. Some welding and reinforcing was required, but whey they finally fit.Anyway more photos soon. Hope you like. -

The rear lights are buddy club, they aren't actually smoked mate. No I haven't been pulled over for any of the mods. They all conform to the rules and regs so I shouldn't be fingers crossed. The Valenti smoked are sold as 'not for road use' but there are many members on here that are running them, and have no problem what so ever.

Where abouts are you based? Might be cheeky and see if you drive by me in either direction so i can see a rocket bunny in the flesh
I'm over Wrexham way. How about you mate?

Thanks mate. Glad you like it. Yes it does indeed. That's why I went for the carbon APR wing mirrors. But also don't want to over do it. I'm trying to keep the centre peice of the car the wheels and arches. If that makes any sense. I'm sure I'll start itching for more mods in the near future.

look forward to seeing more of your car!
He is the guru of wide body kits haha. I've just added a few pics of the finished product. Not the best photos but they'll do. I'm loving your build. You've got some decent power running on that beast. Kudos!

I picked up the beast today, a few random pictures of it after picking her up and washing her.
Unfortunately the pictures don't do her justice. She is fat, so so fat. I've had to readjust the way I drive, making sure I keep my distance from the kerbs.
More decent photos to follow as I'm off to a car meet in Liverpool tomorrow.

I love the look of the rocketbunny parts, always have, I've followed them for years and lusted after them ( its part of what made me want this car).
It a shame we cant get the V2 this side, if my car was white I would've been going down the same route as you! Looks awesome with the gold too man!Cheers mate glad you're a fan of the rocket bunny. It's very much a marmite job, some love it but some hate it.
Well Nigel who did my arches is making a one piece arch, and he has plans on making other bigger ones such as the V2. He's a very good contact to know if you're thinking of going wide.

Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
They are:
Rota Grid Drift 18 x 8.5 ET44 front and 18 x 9.5 ET38 rear. Gold.
The rear tyres could do with changing and there is the odd kerb on them. The front tyres have a decent amount of tread. They are Falken ZE914 Tyres 215/40 front and 225/40 rearMissing a centre cap but this can be got for a few quid off Rota, however I prefer the wheels without them.
I'm after £450 collected for them with a new set of tuner nuts. If it's any interest to you just let me know.

It hasn't been a cheap journey, but it's all paying off now. Hopefully picking the car up today.
I'm going to be selling my old alloys now, will put them for sale on here later today probably.
