Thanks, they're 205/60 R14, nice and chunky on the little 6" rims :)
 
EDIT: sorry, they're 195, not 205

Been a while since the last update - not a lot has happened, got a few more pics though :)
 
Went for a drive this morning and got a flat tyre, upon closer inspection one of the spokes in one wheel has a small 1 inch crack :( Really didn't want to have to deal with this since I was about to start painting...

Bugger about the wheel, at least you noticed it.  Get it checked out by a specialist, and fixed properly if possible.  You don't want it failing at the wrong time.

Your adub looks awesome!
Sorry to see the crack in your rim, good pick up.
Fine choices and good work with the susp and sway install! Im actually thinking similar ;)

super neat. :)

shame about the wheels though. :(

Cheers guys, I'll be getting quotes on the rim this week, hopefully it won't be too bad - at least they were fairly cheap to begin with. I love the look of the car with the watanabes, and the crack doesn't look too bad, but safety first :)
 
@ RdS: Yeah the flaps were only going to be off while I was painting them, but I quite like the look too...

Shame about the SW, a hard top too.. Would be ok for a track car!
The AW looks very cool. Well done with the mods

Ok...
 
It's been a while since my last update, to be honest I've been a bit distracted from the Adub recently, although I've a ccumulate a few parts to go on I just haven't had the time to do anything.
 
- Original JDM Fog Lights. Need to be cleaned up, then fitted
- Still haven't gotten the wheel fixed or painted (but was recommended a place who seem to be able to do wonders with alloy - a place at chipping norton, I'll be giving them a go when I get a chance). quoted 100-180, depending on damage and repainting, which seems fine to me.
- New rotors from Dylan @ Gorilla industries, still not fitted
- Bushing kit, most of which still isn't fitted
 
Also had the horn decide to suddenly start working - constantly. while sitting in heavy traffic, queueing for the M4 on a very hot day... people around me weren't impressed.
 
 
 
Plus, to take up even more of my time and money I went out and bought this:
 
 
 



 
as a result, mr2 plans are on the backburner - apart from putting everything on the car that I've already bought, which should keep me busy for a few months :)

Awesome!  Had a clubman (first car), it was 1 litre and stock, skinny wheels etc, and it was a LOT of fun.  This must be a blast!  Cant beat light weight for agility.
 
Cheers
