French Rally Sunny GTiR

Use quids mate, I kind of liked it :-S

fred i wasnt saying yours look cheap in anyway but i got a parir of second hand ones, pcd adapters hubcentric exactly same for 20 quid second hand just got to keep looking on ebay for when they come up if your not in a rush other wise 100 a pair is about the going rate

 No problem mate, i understood!!! i have 2 different pairs (4x100 to 4x114.3 and 4x100 to 4x108), i already have all on the shelf, all ready to go on the car.

Sorry for the quids, i'll use pounds...i took a bad habit!

Haha just joking Fred, can't wait to see them with the enkis on. I like the white cars so just wanted to see some more pictures.
How much we're the wheels, in pounds/ £ lol.

hard to say really, and i'm afraid to calculate the cost of the pack....but :
- 3 wheels 200
- 4 other with 2 tyres 240
- shot blasting and powdercoating 160
- new tyres 100
- D1 wheel nuts alloy 50
- spacers 200
= expensive wheel set!!!!!!!  
but they are rare and they worth it!

 When you say 240, is that quids, pounds, pound, £, francs, or euro ?.

all converted in british money unit!  

for the wheels them selves thats actually a very good price, my adapters are 5x100 to 4x100 im not using them i just have them sat there couldnt pass them up at 20 quid and i have a few ideas for the r as well which involve the 5x100 pcd.

good work so far fred

Better work when all will be on the car!
Thanks for the comments!

newwwwwwssss!!!!      

here the first batch of pictures...not the good ride height but will be better once dropped on the floor totally.

Shocks



Still on the stand to Undo the sump.


Ride height must be changed!
D1 allow wheel nuts seems to be good!


ET35 wheels + 20mm spacers are not too wide actually!

Evening news...

Sump undone, new flat shape!

The oil pick up had been hurt when the sump has been touched....

So I tried to reshape it a little (but it was no too much bent, just a little at the mouth...)

I changed the oil filter too and so removed the hks pinky poo filter.

Here some pics.





Tomorrow, i'll put the oil, and put the car on the wheels and try to set up the ride hight.

Good news about the oil pick up fred.

Wheels are looking really good, now get it back on the floor and set the ride height with loads of pictures

How much did it set you back for the rebuild  of the coilovers fred ? Wheels look good doesnt look like its poking out the arch to far .... i always thought the backs look like they need spacing out as standard .

Yes mate?

Lol, Nothing with you bucky, we just Spike about money...lol

So here the mods, she is ready to go now!





I'm pretty happy with the ride height actually! It's a rally car so... 

Totally agree about the ride height Fred, It is a rally car so doesn't need to be on the deck.

Spot on Fred, dropped a bit more would be nice though. Well done on bringing her back to life.

Thanks guys! It is not finished yet, but i keep on working on it to tidy it up!

looks great could be a little lower but still lush

I think that's sitting nicely at that ride height
maybe a little lower 10mm on front would give optimum handling as looks the same front and rear

looks just right that, 16s are nice size & handle well on the road especially when not dropped too low.
Will look well rally car hard with front alloy bumper guard & grill spots ...

It is lower at the front than the rear bob, after little ride, she is now ok!

Shocks are stiff but really efficient! Tyres are quite good too!

Hi hope to finish to gather the bits for the 1b loop!
I agree with you Mr. B  

16 is really perfect! Thanks for all you comments!

15's with big profile tyres or 16's for the win i think 17's are to big keep up the good work fred

thanks matey!

today she went to the chassis set up to reach the following spec
-1.3° front camber
-2° rear camber
1.5 front castor

and i noticed a leak on the clutch master cylinder.... 

ADL do clutch master & it not silly money.
You can get overhaul seal kit from Nissan or probably motor-factors for a few quid if internal bore/piston serviceable condition.
Another mid-day job Fred ;-)
