Equinox Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 On 18/10/2020 at 22:32, Beanoir™ said: Wow! Genuine idiot question from me, how do you go about making the track that much wider at the rear to fit the wider arches? Looks like it must be about 6” or so. Yeh so getting custom wheels made, wider and a negative offset to take up the 100mm additional width each side. So hub position stays the same and it's catered for within the wheel setup.

I won't use the word ruined as it is your car and that is all that matters 🤔 I hope you never plan to sell it. 😁 Haha 🤣 na made that mistake before with previous modified cars. If this ever does get sold it will be broken down and split for parts 👍 13 hours ago, Andy said: Will be interested to see the final end product, as we all know that any project car at the half way point looks off to most, other than the person who has the final vision in their mind. It'll certainly be one of a kind, but then it always was without the kit fitted Interested to see how the wings work... that is the only bit I'm not sure about. Yeh should be good once it's all one color with wheels on it that fit. Should start to bring it all together and see the light at the end of the tunnel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Equinox Posted December 11, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2020 So few more updates. I finally got round to getting the kit colour coded (minus the wing). Think it's really starting to come together now. Hoping the new wheels turn up in the next week. Having issues getting them into the country at the moment. But once they arrive everything's is going to come together. Really enjoying where this is going!! VID_20201211_130732.mp4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Looks mad, love it! Alwasy nice to see something different, would be really boring if all the cars just looked the same, will never be to everyones tastes, but that isn't the point! Looking forward to seeing the wheels fitted, and think the spoiler will 'blend in' more when wrapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 What a read, great thread, thanks for sharing all this. Love the colour 😍 and at least 75% of the mods! Nice to see some wilder mods, reminds me of the Jap cars I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've gone for something like 14j wide 😂 decided against it as I preferred having a more manageable overall size for tyres and drivability. Not that what I've done hasn't somewhat compromised that anyway 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Beanoir™ Posted February 23, 2021 Founder Share Posted February 23, 2021 Ah ha! The missing piece of the puzzle! They do look amazing those wheels. They're a similar size to my rear wheels, 305 section tyre I'm guessing..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Wheels look great! How does it drive with them on? That wing really does stand out now, is the plan for it to be purple like the rest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fully complete by next weekend which is exciting. Its looking a tad 'naked' without the wing on 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
