I had those three spokes on my Estima!!! They're "Toms" or something aren't they?

Did I see your car being towed behind a BMW the other day?

Yeah, the car really does sit better on those wheels. Not a silly offset but just enough to still be subtle and good looking and fill the arches a bit better.

Plus theyre not luminous orange.

Nope, not me being towed. Im normally in some variety of ford when im being towed

Late 80's early 90's japan had a few different 3 spokes, just like us. Only ours always looked gash, even then, but theyres get cooler and cooler.

I know TOM's did some, so did Mazdaspeed on early MX-5's and of course, Advans.

It was me being towed!..droppin off my little project to it's new owner

more info/pics??

sorry to spam your topic dave lol

Yeah Chris, info please

I actually washed my car today. I wasnt going to bother because i thought the paint was past it. But i had an early start today, and by 11 i was finished my jobs and bored, so i managed to get it up the drive without scraping half the tarmac on the pavement with it and gave it two good cleans. It actually came out really good so i polished it aswell at im really really surprised how well the paint has come out. Made up. Its given me the urge to bother looking after the paint on this one.

Too Right man

Nothing more thereapeutic than cleaning your car thoroughly, I spent 5 hours on the Alfa about 3 weeks ago, 5 hours wasted as she needs another clean desperately

Plus, if it rains and you see the big rain "Globules" on your bonnet and other places... it shows you care for ya car, whereas Im guessin about 60% of everyone I see doesnt

Well normally im in the 60%. Making your car clean doesnt really make it any faster, so it doesnt bother me, and im not arsed what others think so i dont normally bother but im lazy and i need to motivate myself so ill start cleaning it from now on.

Im getting four pots too Stu took the ones off his S14 and im hopefully gonna pick them up soon. Ill change them come MOT time when i reckon it needs new pads anyway.

Well, thing bout mine is now Ive had it and run about in it, Ive noticed some parts are starting to show the standard "Alfa Red Fade"... All red cars fade, but Alfas are reknowned hahaha


More I clean it, more its polished, so hides the pink bits, and looks superb

Four potsll be good

Im lookin forward to seein this again dude, when Im back full time... the last meet I was at I just remember you leaving Candy behind me sideways

I think something fell off the back as well - looked like duct tape...I ran over whatever it was

...it was just a money maker that I got off sxoc...Pre facelift s13 with broken engine in it,changed that for the spare that I got with it,got it through an mot,unseized the brakes,put a front mount intercooler on it, bought an exhaust for it,fitted that,fixed a shit load of other things on it then sold it to a guy from sxoc!...at a profit of course...

That looks a nice "project" must admit, despite the less than perfect engine

Is that a standard front bumper?

Its a pre-facelift front bumer they (i think) look much better then the face-lifted ones (k-reg onwards)

pre facelift ftw..

Thats quite smart that Chris. Nice one for keeping another on the road and not breaking it, and nothing beats a bit of profit eh

I can give or take on either bumper really. I like the preface because it can make the front end look a lot lower with that lip, but i think the facelift looks smoother. I like mine cause half of its missing for airflow

Im now gradually selling things and saving up to start my big brake front conversion. Itll be S14 front 4pots, standard rears with internal drum handbrake for skiddyness, Apex braided lines all round, cut and drilled discs all round with 4 stud redrill for fronts, not sure on pads but probably redstuffs or the fast road version instead but all round. If i think the fronts are overbraking ill change to lesser spec pads to even things out.
