Out of interest what happened with the HI-LO ?  


I've got coil spring conversion and when I last took the engine out to rebuild the gearbox I forgot to seat the spring when putting the engine back in and it went in wonky so the weakest part bent the hollow part of the thread

I have a no chrome or silver thing going on so I think I need to just paint them all gloss black

Glad to see the wheels fit.

 

Definitely paint them black. If I had time I could of lashed them for you, still have a load left from painting the mini.

I agree mate 100% but when the turbo motor goes in I'll be hitting 210 maybe 220 on boost with 280 torque and the 10'S just have a limit the tyre choice is too limited too

Gone back to standard rubber cones ended up taking the engine out as it's in the way of the top arm pins and also fitted my new Mexico arches just waiting for the cones to settle

I've been shopping for the turbo swap

Just a few bits left some more silicone hoses and manual boost controller then I can start getting on with it
