My 20vT MK2

Need updates on the wheels Rick

 

None yet unfortunately

I'll be having them powder coated next week, just awaiting a friends wheels to be done at a local company to me, so I can see the quality of their work

 

Whilst searching the net for black metallic panels, I come across this beauty of a G60





Definitely some inspiration for mine

Will be hard to find that front bumper though with the washer jets.

 

Will look sweet mate

 

Dish on them wheels look same set up as mine that golf is nice

 

What size you got mate ?

I went for 1.5" all round in the end. Hoping to get it looking similar to the above.

 

The above looks like 7.5 fronts and 8s at the back.

I wish I'd kept my rm's

 

I've always thought the headlight washers ruins the clean lines on a mk2, all you need for yours is the rear spoiler Rich.

 

Me too.

You can get the genuine kit to add them to your bumpers on ebay, all be it at very expensive costs.

 

I nearly sold mine to fund some more improvements on the Mk2, but after a quick reality check and the fact I probably wouldn't be able to buy another set, I decided to keep hold of them. It was the great offer on the new dishes that done it really, and the fact I love these wheels.

I was thinking about a rear spoiler, but it will mean changing the glass on the tailgate, which is a pig to do.

The rear glass on there at the moment is green tint, without the holes for the spoiler. Did all 1.8 Drivers come with this as standard ? Mine had it all round from factory.

I've seen that kit on eBay, quite expensive at nearly 500 !

Although its listed for a big bumper model, the washer jets look too small ! Maybe they were off a small bumper model ?

I do like the look of it though, but my main aim is to get the bodywork looking as good as it can be, buy a set of Recaros and get the wheels on. Engine bay will be getting some attention again too.

 

not sure with out looking mate the rears are much bigger then the fronts

 

The last lips on mine were 9.5 on the rear and 8.5 on the front !! I loved them, but it made it horrible to drive.

It was the G60 steels which made me go with a smaller lip, as the handling was so much better

 

Thanks mate.

I don't tend to post build threads. I'm an active user on the T4 forum and have a build thread on there for my T4, but i tend to forget to update it.

Can i pick your brain on the front mount. I am in two minds whether to get a sprinter FMIC or go down the same route and use the toyosport. Where did you get it from along with the pipework?

 

Toyosport have an eBay page, and I bought mine delivered for around 70, and its been a great piece of kit.

With the pipework, I basically worked out what I needed and ordered everything through ASH Performance silicome hoses. They also have an eBay page.

Didnt cost too much either.

 

I have just ordered the intercooler, found a different supplier, 52 delivered which isnt bad.

Do you have written down what pipes you used, sizes etc?

Thanks

 

Well, the BBS RM's were finally dropped off yesterday for powder-coating.

I've decided to go with Chrome powder-coat now, after searching through loads of examples of different colours ect. I nearly went for a cherry red, but didnt want them to be too lairy.

Ive also managed to get my hands on an excellent set of genuine front Foglights. No cracks or anything and came with everything to fit to my bumper. Result.







So once the wheels are back and new rubber has been bought for them,I'll get these fitted. Still need to find a fog light loom tough.

Im also on the look out for some Recaro interior

Hoping I can find a set of Edition Blue Recaros, or even the grey/red Recaros.

Will keep you guys posted.

 

Wee car just gets better and better .......best how-to build topic on here

bring on the splits Rick

 

Thanks Eddie

 

The prices I've been seeing these for sale at are ridiculous, but it be fair there isn't many genuine ones left in great condition.

I was lucky to get hold of these really, and at a good price too
