Default Wheels

The AZEVs that were on the car have been joined by a few other sets over the last few weeks.



These are a 16" set, that only just fit over the AP brake conversion - these were originally going to be the "road legal" versions, as there is an issue with the AZEVs, but then I went on holiday and came back to....



I saw these for sale originally on this site, but decided not to get them as the fronts needed longer studs and spacers to fit - my brother then saw them on Ebay and figured it would be the cheapest way to get the car to an MOT garage! Didn't need the spacers etc, they fitted straight away - guess the brake conversion must have involved a few changes (Sorry Northerner - I owe you the extra £10!)

The reason for several different sets? The 17" AZEVs stick out at the front by around 25mm, so no longer road legal - no worries, as we've got some track day tyres that'll fit so they'll still be useful (sorry Stu, gonna keep them for a while yet). The white 16"s are there cos I like the Motorsport look - these may get part worns for drifting, slicks for dragging, not decided yet. And the last set - well, need one road legal set after all, especially now it has an MOT!

And this is now the new driving seat...



Gonna run the car for a few weeks, to see what breaks/falls off, and hope to get it booked in for a tuning session in 3 to 4 weeks time (need to make some calls next week). Other than that, I should be taking it to North Weald RWYB on Sept 5th - be good if any other S12s want to join me - be warned though, we'll probably be running a Fiat Panda as well!

(Any info on the light stalk or hoses would be appreciated).

Cheers

Austen

Default Tune up

The tune up went fine, it didn't blow up!

Just driven it home for the first time - Basildon to Chelmsford - and it only used up a quarter of a tank of petrol! Worth every penny - still grinning!

Ah well - I can start saving up to drive to the petrol station now!

I've missed the thread on the Colchester meet - where/when?
