But didnt really like them, so today off they came and im back on the standard wheels. Only on the fronts ive put some 195/45s instead of the standard 175s. Initial bite is not as good at the 16s but when you start to lean on it there is tons of grip.

oh and while the wheels were off i cleaned up the front calipers and sanded the AP logo back to silver, bit of laquer over the top and i think it looks pretty swish Not that anyones going to notice

Bored so thought i would update this.

Ive not really done anything to the car for ages other than some carbon sill bits -

Hosted on Fotki

Ive also fitted a lighweight bottom pulley and done the z20let short belt mod, hasnt made a huge amount of difference other than the throttle respose is a little better. No pics as i could barely get my own hands in let alone a camera

Thought id try and tidy up the interior, There isnt a lot to it but it seems to get scruffy easily being a daily driver. This is what it used to look like (but a bit more shitty) -



So that middle silver thingy round the bottom of the gear lever was proper battered on mine so after a bit of faffing and then some help from Paulas home boy seamstress hero friend ive covered it with black acoustic carpet -

eagles eyes will notice the carbon wrapped gear stick as well.

Ive wrapped the dash plates as well, you can just about see it in this one -

Im going to try and get the scratches out of the sides of the footwells too. Just little things but its a much nicer place to be

Spanking.

Seriosuly considering one of these to replace my Corsa, but don't know if I will fit in one

Can't find any locally for sale to have a look round and see if I can fit in one...

Should have found me at TVL, you could have tried it on!

I was thinking of grey for the window surround, black is a bit heavy with the silver wheels.
