Incredibly jealous

Cheers mate, I think there will be alot more jealous people once Ive got them fitted.

Very nice shade of good :-) good choice Mr Dum

Cheers mate, Its slightly lighter and yellower than the actual TD gold and I love it. Really hate those orangy shades of gold.

[Alee83]

They are gonna look sweet on...!

Cheers mate.


So do I paint the lettering in on the lips and if so what colour?

[Poodle]

F. I. T.

Paint the lettering white, would look uber-stealthy.

[Dum-Dum]

Last coat of the last wheel is done! Done 4 cans of paint today, so glad i didnt pay the RRP for it at about £11 a can.

F. I. T.

Paint the lettering white, would look uber-stealthy.

I was leaning towards white too but balck or red could be cool.

Leaving them gold would be uber-stealthy.

[4WayDiablo]

to be honest id keep it white or even just leave it, too many colours could look cluttered

[kentiiboii]

Don't think white lettering would work on the gold. But they look very nice. Multispokes are a pain to spray. You got to have the can low enough and at a angel for it to catch. But get it wrong and you'll end up catching it with bottom of can.

[samass]

they look good, better finish from the hammerite than i was expecting!
id no bother painting the lettering, better with them fully gold imo

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah fair point.

Stealth bum mode it is then. Well as stealthy as gold wheels on a white 6 with a win pipe at 7 grand will ever be.



Just need tyres now, Think the credit limit on my card is getting increased this month woop.

If anything black writing, not convinced with the colour at all yet but hoping i'll be swayed once they are fitted.

[Scott]

Looking forward to seeing these fitted!

[4WayDiablo]

Hmm. GITD lettering... I think so...

DO IT :-)

[Jonny b]

Looking sweet fella!!! though I have a Kawasaki green itch to scratch and I cant do it on mine

[Dum-Dum]

You will be

Looking forward to seeing these fitted!

Mee too, cant wait. soon as these are on I can start looking at buying bits to fit the brembos.

DO IT :-)

Erm no thats a bit much, That said i did find the tin of GITD spray today and Ive had some naughty naughty ideas.

Nah too lairy.

[Dum-Dum]

So alongside Poodle helping me weigh all the bits I stripped from the car I also had another helper who really only wanted to sleep on bits wed removed and eat stuff

   
   





So after the strippage

   
   





I found this box of tricks under the rear seat metal bat thing, any ideas what it is cos ph3s dont have them. I moved it for now but i want rid of it.

   
   





A final pic of the wheels being painted

   






And a sneaky one of a test fit. Really wish id taken a better photo as it dosent do it justice.

   

[C.A.R.]

Gonna look sweet as f*ck!

No idea what the module is in the back though, on a phase 3 isn't the central locking Ecu there somewhere? Where do those wires go to?

[Poodle]

Those really do look awesome...

Zak is win, need to bring him to meets. Although you may wake up to find Niall/Connor has painted his ears/tail pink...

[Dum-Dum]

Cheers Chris. Really tempted to see if I can find a good set of part worns to hurry up the tyre fitting process.


Alex Ill bring him to some meets when we have some that are suitable. He loves being in the car.

[Niall]

That module is the BSI which is under the dash under the hazard switch on the ph3

Looking forward to seeing these wheels finished!

[Dum-Dum]

That module is the BSI which is under the dash under the hazard switch on the ph3

What does the BSI do, can I remove it?



Wheels will be on soon, I looked at tyres on camskill and my favourite falkens are £249.56 delivered but ive found a set on ebay for £233.55 delivered so im trying out camskills price beater to see what I get.

Hopefully have them on before the end of the week.


Slightly stuck in my head for what to do for wheel nuts

the cheapest lightest option would be standard taper seated nuts which are probably £16-£25

however the nicer option for repeatedly removing wheels would be a stud conversion and TBH I really have a love for splined nuts (makes it harder for the wheels to be stolen) however this will make it up to about £40.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions.

[Poodle]

Will have to get that new forest meet set up then! Pretty sure the bsi is part of your immob set up, probably best leave it be lol.

[Matt]

Stud conversion!

[Dum-Dum]

Can it wait till the middle of September cos I cant get leave from work till about 2 weeks after the end of the paraolympics. Also car is getting lowered, group n engne mounts, brembos and a full front suspension rebuild on the 28th at Kris's

Stud conversion!

Defo the way im leaning ATM. Gonna take a wheel up to speed shack tomorrow and get something perfect. Sure steve will sell me a load of shiny bits while im there.

[Dum-Dum]

Really unimpressed with Camskill! Sent them a price match last night against macclesfield tyres on ebay and they lost the form. Spoke to them today on the phone and they said on the phone "oh yeah macclesfield tyres, I know them well" but i thought nothing of it and resubmitted it as asked.

Got the email back shortly after sating that as macclesfield tyres delivery time is more than 2 days that they wont match it.

Want ot order on ebay and macclesfield tyres have put the price up to match the camskill price. Cheeky f*ckers.





Now ordered here for £233.54 for 4 falkens.

Gone out and bought my splined nuts and the special tool today, ordered with 16 studs (that will be here Wednesday) they were £42.50 for the whole car. Theyer actually surprisingly light.
   



Just need to wait for bits to turn up and its fitting time.



Anyone want to buy some 'clones?

[Niall]

BSI (body systems interface) controls your central locking, interior lighting, immobiliser and alarm. Even with a unlocked ECU it's still needed I think. If I see you any time soon, can plug Peugeot planet In and see if we can program it all out so you can get rid although personally I'd just mount it and leave be.

[Dum-Dum]

Ah OK, thats an awful lot of control in one little box

[Niall]

Yeah. On a ph1 I think you could remove it but it's too much hard work for no gains.

[Chris]

The one under the rear seat? If so that' just for the central locking.
On the ph2 the imob stuff is under the dash in the same place as the ph3's

[Dum-Dum]

So whats the black box inside the O/S rear quarter panel that im sure is part of the central locking / alarm

Not really much else to say other than yep, it is
