They came with it! Shame to paint over them as they are properly powder coated! I want silver cyclones or maybe some direct fit 1.2s.

It is and the fronts are the wrong profile. Bearing in mind all ive done is bought it and put it on a trailer and put it on a driveway, I havent done anything to it apart from cleaning it! Its got a brand new set of pilot sport 3s to go on!

Good man. PS3's are the daddy. Mine will be getting a set of those. I'll probably be looking to swap my grey wheels for a set of silver ones. Been done very, very well, just not std so they are coming off!

Just bought a new nissens rad for £70.14. Should be here in two days and then I can crack on and replace that. There are two different lower pipe connector styles so if I am unlucky it can be replaced with a 2.0 xsi lower pipe which should be easy enough to find.
Decided to go standard rather than get a shorter one just for ease of fitment and getting this on the road a bit quicker. I havent got anywhere to make up custom mounts etc and I want to retain the standard pipework and possibly replace with spoox stuff in the future.

and just got an email saying its going to be a weeks wait because they are waiting on their supplier in holland...

You want to get Royal steering wheels to recover it in black Alcantara, add in some thumb grips and stitch it in the rallye colours

Less weight so yes. But... I don't know exactly how much lighter... I've heard 50 but then I've also heard 16kg... So... Ruined if you are carrying a passenger etc.

16kg seems to be the number that comes up in all the press release stuff which i think is more accurate. They haven't lost 50kg just from shedding a little leather and 2 door motors.

Matt put his rallye on the weighbridge at his work for a true measurement iirc, can't remember what it was.
I need to put my 6 on sometime to see how close it is now

I was going to say, they cannot really have 50kg just from losing the extras.

Is it really only 16kg? That's not much more than a spare wheel! Pretty sure the Halfords tool cases weigh more than that?

Your 6 might be abit low to get on the weighbridge my rallye was considerably lighter than my HDi which i did at the same time though.

hardly stripped out... spare tyre removed and half the rear bench, coilovers that are set to max on the back, uniroyal rainsports with soft side walls. Hardly set up properly i feel! It did however make it to the track...
