UPDATE TIME  :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

been a long time coming with this update but alot came at once in the post and with holidays and work the car took abit of a back seat really.

first update is i got a autotech rear arb of w8 performance! so far great bit of kit! fitted really easy, its currently on the medium setting and im getting alot less body roll and feels so much more planted in all aspects of driving! the back now happily and confidently follows the front wheels, hopefully even more so when i fit my WALK kit (when time allows) and me being me couldnt leave it alone so i painted and laquered it in red before i fitted it!




next update is a random one and one i never had in my head before i randomly saw them and knew i had to had them and knew how they would look!



.............can you not spot what ive done????

maybe this pic will help............



now this mod will be marmite but i love em!!!  :P  :evilgrin:

now with any aftermarket panel there is always the chance of non vw standard when it comes to shape, quality and panel gaps but thankfully my bet paid off and im happy!!



outside of this my only other purchase is some lm reps! same as our fellow members keanos but i have a feeling mine are slightly different in spoke design but that helps with the nqsbbk fronts im running and is allowing me to run a smaller spacer than was first planned!



now the specs of these are:
front: 18x8 et 42 215 40 18
back: 18x9 et 42 225 40 18




now ive gotta run a 5mm spacer to clear the nqsbbk but its just not enough, the wheel turns but doesnt give enough breathing space.  so im gonna get some H&R 8mm hubcentric front spacers then she'll be fine and dandy  :happy2:

the wheels scrub or im not happy then ill be getting r32 front brakes and then dont have to run any spacer! but for now the goal is to get them on and over ther nqsbbk!

comments welcome as usual  :happy2:

 :happy2: nice motor mate! loving the mods you have done.

i aint a fan of marmite but i am a fan of the CF wings! are they the slightly wider wings or are they std size wings just in CF?

Standard size wings in full carbon fibre! Widened ones would of helped with the wheels but it's no drama

**update**

got bored on my day off today so changed thee old girls oil, the filter was perished and crumbling so probs a good job i got to it when i did!!!!  :fighting:

-i bought a canbus friendly hid kit for the dipped beams, bought special h7r bulbs which are meant for inside non projector lights. they have a special strip around the bulb to stop the dazzling of other drivers and can confirm by a friend there not bad when im following them! 6k bulb so nice and white but not too intrusive

- ive just bought 2 new tyres off camskill for the LM's, they just need a good polish and sealing before they get put on!  :party:

oh and bought my VW Harewood 2012 tickets  :smiley: hopefully the weather keeps off and my car will make it to the clubstand!!

Quick update

H&R 8mm front spacers are here, tyres all fitted to the lm's and ready to go on once there polished and sealed.

I'm also in the process of booking in to get my revo stage 2 file updated and linear throttle put on!  :smiley:

Oh and to prevent heat soak I've bought a Airtec twin spec front mount to help keep temps down, thinking now I might aswell buy a bloody pump and go stage 2+ and save some money!

**update**

fianlly got round to fitting my dream wheels onto the ed30 and after many journies and different calculations ive done it!!

BBS LM reps over NQSBBK porsche front brakes  :party: :party: :party:

all seems good so far, pics and specs are below!









finally specs are:

front: 8x18 et42 wheel, 8mm hubcentric spacer, final et34. tyre: 215 40 18 Conti sport 3 (not much stretch because of there comfy sidewalls)
rear: 9x18 et42 wheel, 225 40 18 falken fk452

brakes are: 986 boxster/cayman front calipers, daveb fitting kit and std 312mm discs
suspension: AP coilovers, all the way down at back and maybe 3 or so threads left at front.

i reckon with a falken tyre at the front i could keep the 215 at the front and get a better stretch giving more clearance but i got the conti's cheap so tried that tyre spec out instead of wasting money on new tyres for them not to fit.

these are my summer/show wheels but can confirm i can still give some stick and it still goes and havent felt much scraping yet!!  :smiley:

Re: Dan648v's ED30 **BBS LM over NQSBBK 6/08**
« Reply #59 on: August 10, 2012, 03:15:09 pm »


after putting my BBS's on i realised how rusty my disks looked and how scabby my rear calipers looked! let the look down really so i took the sun this morn as a sign to get the paint out! i know with me going to vw harewood on the clubstand i wouldnt have been happy with them looking like they were!!  :ashamed:

i painted the centres of my discs matt black in a high temp paint and the rear calipers in the same paint as the front Porsche calipers so now they match all round!

all in all for a days work im pretty pleased! pics below

this was the worst rear  :sick:



turned into this.......



looks much better with the wheel back on



also while i was there i did the front discs and tidied up some chips on the front calipers



comments welcomed as usual guys! off for a beer now cause its boiling  :drinking:
