Project Silver Shuttle (New Wheels!)
Re: Project Silver Shuttle
8j et0? Christ mate that's gonna have some poke / massive camber lol. Tyre wear will be insane. Unless shuttles have a lower offset than civics? i cant imagine they do though, not by much if at all any. They would suit well though! What about the RKR's in the for sale section? Those are PERFECT.
Re: Project Silver Shuttle
Rears on shuttles have a lower offset than Hatchs
My ET27 Watanabes Sit flush with outer panel (Slight poke - 1mm or more) on a hatch.
On the shuttle however, the sit about 1" from the outer panel. In serious need of a 20mm spacer!

Re: Project Silver Shuttle
Well that proved how wrong I can be.. That's a massive difference! Should have thought about it logically really, civic's dont have drive shafts on the rear lol, they're bound to be different.

Re: Project Silver Shuttle
Shuttle will be going in bodyshop Monday to have the roof and posts painted as they have gone dull and roof is pitted. Also getting the steelies refurbished in a high gloss gunmetal.
I also picked up a front strut brace today and I have ordered a rather steering wheel.
Hoping to get the recaros in tomorrow and take some pics

Re: Project Silver Shuttle
will look good make sure we get loads of pictures
although i think the Integra style recaros in black would look better plus its a shuttle must be spacious from the inside ?

Re: Project Silver Shuttle
Haven't decided yet Sam. If the shuttle has all the little bits sorted and the recaros are in then I'll probably take it instead.vibe85 wrote:Looking forward to seeing it Ben.

Re: Project Silver Shuttle
Ok so its not going in the bodyshop yet. Reason being I bought some Mugen MR5's today they need a bit of a refurb however I already tried some metal polish on the lips and they do come up well but will need a bit of time and elbow grease spending on them. Maybe a job for Easter weekend.
Wheel lip before a quick polish
And after
Just needs some work to get them looking mint again. A few pics of the roof which ad you can see it does need painting
Also fitted my front strut race today
Also purchased some carb socks off Rich
And ordered my new steering wheel. I know I said I didn't like the wooden ones but this one took my fancy

Wheels look pretty good keeping them the same colour ?
Colour code the strut brace to match the engine bay
