Car is looking great Greg, the old OZ wheels look good with the grey paint too.
if those v700s are the ones you bought from me then i would strongly suggest they are now probably past it age wise, must be a good few years since you picked them up?
i have had contisport contacts on mine and been very impressed with them, had them on our previous estate car too, gripped wet and dry, quiet and wear was reasonable too. Goodyears always a safe bet too.
You're right, I expect the rubber has hardened. Would there be any adverse affects to using them, even if they wear out quickly? I can get them fitted for £40 and fit the goodyears once they are shot, however long that takes. Buying the OZ's was most definitely the right choice, I still have the 17" wheels tucked away but it drives much better on the OZ's.
Thanks for the comments all too. Its been quite a while since I've got some decent pictures.
Greg_S You will cause zero harm to the car if fitting just 2 tyres. The eagle F1 asymmetric 3 is the one you want
I would agree with that too since the rolling radius is barely going to be different as tyres wear quicker up front anyway and F1 asymmetric 3 is an evolution of the GSD3 anyway
In between a load of other jobs I got the tyres done today and went to fit a non ac glovebox
. However I’m missing the 4 bolts to hold the glove box in and the bracket to hold the glove box light. Anyone got these fixings laying around?
Planning to get out out for a run tomorrow if I can.
It is for mornings like this, filled with anticipation that make all the work worthwhile.
But heavens, glove box bolts! How about those top-mounts and...?
I know the top mounts are on the list of jobs to get done. I am waiting for the tie rod adjusters to return from the machinist before I start that job, I should have them in the next couple of weeks and can get them fitted then.
In between a really busy time at work at the min I have got the steering arm off ready for the tierod group buy and fitting of @lagoblue top mount bits. What is causing me problems now is getting the nut off of the macpherson strut on the lower bolt near the ABS sensor. Its the last few threads before it starts to come off, worst case I'll have to get the ABS sensor off and use some heat. I have soaked it with WD40 and will give it another go tomorrow evening.
