Tidy up for the Cup!

[.GAZ.]

Aren't I lucky...

Had the wheels done at a place called Glentyan Alloys in Paisley, their work is absolutely brilliant, very happy with the service!

12 month guarantee with them as well which is nice - they also fitted my new Rainsport 3 tyres which was good. Not a single blemish on them!

Cars getting a full service tomorrow - safe to say its going nowhere any time soon!

Looks great, looks like it's on stilts though

 

[BoatNonce]

Looks very tidy. Good work

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Cheers lads!

Aye Craig it does seem to sit a little high, the suspension isn't that old either lol. (Oem!)

 

[Paprika123]

buff

 

[Advikaz]

Looks decent that Danny

 

[Mark_P]

Mind if I ask the cost of sorting the alloys? Paisley would be handy for me

 

[Gaz_]

Silver on Mondial for me

 

[AndyStew]

Looks well.

Also, the last three letters of your reg looks like 'rapey', going by your avatar it's actually quite fitting. :wink:

Really surprised you got rid of the Silver Danny boi? Lost it's box fresh look. I'm considering buying one local to me but i'd rather just a 172 with the toys.

£168 with the tyres off fully stripped and tyres back on and fully balanced - the care they take on wheel handling is sublime.

Kev mate it was last minute split decision bud! Gary actually talked me into it! Glad i did tbh, but at only £168 theres no reason they won't be silver in the future lol.

Looks good dude.

Indeed mate. That's crazy money. I had a set sent away to Leptons again, their work is insane and not that expensive to trade. Sadly 5 day turnaround but better than factory finish.

Honestly Kev, i was more impressed with the handling of the wheels lol, they actually take so much care its scary! Tyres off and on without as much as a lacquer stroke lol x

 

[Gally]

That's the hard bit, not marking them on the way back on!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

So after visiting RenTec for a full service and it costing a small fortune it was noted the OSR wheel bearing felt rough/noisy - true to form and £236 lighter from the service the wheel bearing started whining like my ex. New brake time.

Sure enough;

Then on with the new stuff;

Also ordered new bushes from PowerFlex for the dogbone mount, expecting to fit that tomorrow.

Do you have the resistors on i take it mate aye?

Just fold them carefuly back against the sides of the boss.. It didn't cause much of an issue when i was doing it from memory pal?

 

[Paprika123]

Spotted this the other day lol

 

[Mr Plums]

Getting some practice in?

Nothing like fingering a mucky ring to see them bearing the pain!
