I think that the coupe is so much more elegant than the convertible... Horbury did this so well...

We are a dealer for Hi-Tuning ecu upgrsdes, so can do off the shelf maps to suit our conditions or we can have them custo mm ised in line with what else is done to the car.
Ill be going that way.

Bigger injectors, yes but im undecided on which at the moment.

You should see their new surge tank kits. Gorgeous. Very well thought out.

Thanks @AshDVS for the headlamp glass..

Rob

More goodies turned up today.

20mm fronts, 25mm rears. Also gives me wheel studs :)

Very happy with the way they are made, very tight onto the hubs and nice and firm into the back of the wheels. Just need to get some decent wheel nuts.

Ex850R

They look good Rob , where are these from?

Rob

China.. is there anywhere else?

Ex850R

No , sadly the little shop down the road with grubby old blokes in boiler suits or shirt and tie at the lathe is gone!

Looks nice!
Is it pre-wired for heated rear seats? If so are you going to retrofit it?

Rob

If they are there yes. I had no reason to suspect that anything would be in place. I am going to check it out.

Rob

Spacers and new red anodized steel wheel nuts fitted.. So much better and absolutely no scrubbing or any negatives at all that I can see, in fact i could have easily gone thicker at the rear.

I am particularly happy with the fact that it now uses conventional wheel nuts and studs. I have always been unhappy with wheel bolts.

Thats why C70s can run 225 or 235 wide if you have rim for it.
I knew they had more room than any other x70!
Find a wheel with 10 or no offset and you are set 8-}
Staggered?
Ohh , that would be verrry nice!
One of the Porsche wheels looks amazing on x70 , saw it on that how your car sits , you could put those studs on that/any PCD ....

Ex850R

Do those rim protectors come in black?

Rob

TBH I have give some serious consideration to getting some driftek wheels. They are strong, cheap and available in a massive range of size/offset/centrebore/studpattern/colour configurations. There are also some other styles that fit this criteria too.

For the front I want 17x8 +25 and for the rear 17x9 +20

Or if I want to push it a bit 18x8.5 +28 at the front and 18x9.5 +25 for the rear.
These should easily fit over some big brakes too.

Ex850R;14130 wroteDo those rim protectors come in black?

yes

white, green, blue, yellow, orange, orange-red, red and black

Ex850R

I like the driftek, so clean,old school, and new stuff is too prissy for the me. 18s may shake year fillings out! I really am having second thoughts on 17s! I gave them up ages ago on x70, a pity the bbk needs em, maybe I need the right rim or just use the better callipers from the focus turbo I have.

Rob

So today I pulled the rear calipers off the dirty old 850 I have out the back in an attempt to fit them to my 164.

Anyway, while doing it I noticed the rear shocks fitted to it, I pulled them off and they appear in next to perfect condition.

Are these any good? @AshDVS @Ex850R @anyoneelsewhoknowswhattheyaretalkingabout

Rob

oooh. and @AshDVS ;)

hoping this is somewhere near the money..

Rob

Ex850R;14177 wrote18s may shake year fillings out!

Don't have any of those... so shouldn't be a problem.. :D

egads (she/her)

Ooh, koni adjustables.

Definitely worth something decent.
