    No it's outside the house I'm renting in Athlone. It's comfortable for heading between home in Dublin and to the house here in Athlone

    Just needs a drop and I'll look sweet! :)

    Personally, I'd go for a polished centre instead of black, I'm just not big on black wheels.

    Edit: This is only for pictures? Aww. :(

    It's only for a few days until he gets off from work to change them back. They're gunmetal grey inserts but he wants to get them changed to polished centre alright.

    I would be tempted to take them off of him when he's done with them though, assuming I still have the Yaris. And yeah, if I owned these there would definitely be a drop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Those are Rotas grid-v? With gun metal inside? I wanted those for mx5, but could not get that colour. :(

    On what are those wheels originaly?

    They're the exact ones. They're from my brothers 96 EK. I can ask him where he got then from if you want.

    What PCD is the MX5?

    I got a set already, just non gun metal grey ones.

    Ah it's cool, I was just looking at the Work Equip 01's for sale on DTD.
    They'd look unreal on an NA.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,875 ✭✭✭Foxhole Norman

    Funnily enough, he'd probably swap if you were interested as he's wants a polished set, assuming the PCD is 4 x 100.

    Here is the legend:

    Still going strong at 174k. They are getting rare now. Probably the ultimate recession-mobile!

    Nah, thanks. I'll stick with what I got now. I like the way it is now, plus misses likes it this way too. Cheers for offer though.

    What coilovers you got? Me thinks my springs won't do the job for me..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,720 ✭✭✭Hal1


    Just get some eibach sportlines (better than the cheap ****e) and save yourself a new spine :pac:.

    Ahhh! The general misconception about cheap coilovers being uncomfortable ;) :pac:

    Any sets I've had have been perfectly comfortable, very little difference from the OEM Sport springs.

    @advertsfox

    Respect!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭Duff


    I have Sportlines already, haven't fitted them yet. Waiting for my wheels to arrive. I'm being swayed more towards coilovers now though.. :rolleyes:

    Impulse ordered staggered LM reps. But the more I think about it now, every other modded BMW has a set of them. Might send them back and go for something a bit different.:confused:

    I was thinking about buying the same myself. But am leaning towards BBS CH reps instead. Again pretty common, but a nice wheel. Either are a cool wheel, if you like them go for it. In all honesty I haven't seen many LMs on 3 coupes around. We might be better discussing this in the OT thread...hate to drag this too far off topic :p

    JOM's must be one of the harshest I have ever been in.
    Even my 21yr old son agrees with me.
    He had them on his Toledo and trust me, they were far from comfortable and very far from OEM comfort :(

    We have a small lip on the ground coming out of our shed, I remember coming out in the Golf when I just put in the coilovers, pretty sure I cried a little.

    Quickly got used to it though.

    And yes I know its filthy;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,865 ✭✭✭✭MuppetCheck


    It's not filthy, it's used for its purpose. Some people would nearly have the car in the sitting room instead of a TV!

    I like mine clean and properly protected but I prefer it when it looks like it's being put to use.

    I could make a sexist joke but I won't.
