Just put your old wheels in the boot, sorted 👍
-
That is bad luck chap, these cars can bite back quite unexpectedly sometimes. I found that out the hard way on the way to a track. Kick it straight and get back out there.

Wont be able to make this one 😣 as I have a gig on the saturday night 😎. Rock on 🎸

I managed to bag these at the weekend, Volk TE37 17x7.5 et48 with Pirelli Dragons (I have no idea) showing a very good amount of tread. I have ordered the wheel nuts but I am struggling to find spigot rings to fit. I believe with my inaccurate measuring stick that the bore on these wheels are 65.1mm. Can anybody recommend a supplier and brand of ring? I know the offset isn't great but will sort that out at a later date. Many thanks to @Lauren for guiding me thought this whole Rays thing.

So here they are and I am very pleased with them. Only done 25 miles on them but the tyres that came with the wheel do seem ti be way better than the mismatched lot I had on the stocks. Turn in is noticeably sharper.

I understand your dilema with a road trip coming up. All I can say about mine is that the car had been stood for a few months before I got it and these days I havnt noticed it happening for a while. I will listen out for it next time
-
Mine does exactly this, very low speed, a squeek that matches the road speed. My thought is wheel bearing but at 30k doesnt seem likely but not impossible. Im not going to worry about it and will investigate if and when it starts 'singing' all the time

Congrats to the two smug bar stewards who took the trophies, those cars really did pop.

Looks like I am out of the game then

Absolutely, it is the next logical step. You have done all supporting mods and a remap will tie them all together. what you will get is a motor that will pull strongly from around 3.5k and have a bit more top end power. Get it done, you wont regret it. I have use Tuning developments at Warrington and can recomend

The rain is good, it will soften all the flies I picked up yesterday, making it a breeze to get them off

Cheers @Riceburner, had a run over the Cat and the Snake without a murmur. Gary's massage has really hit the spot. Top job

Gimme a go!!!! Bet it makes my XJR1300 feel like a moped
-
On my old car I did prop shaft and final drive which was good but I don't want to go there again. So far on the white car I have mani, overpipe, remap and wheels. I will be going for suspension and TD's brake upgrade. Also considered an oil cooler for track days but still not sure about that one yet. I have a Scorpion cat back which I have never fitted as I am not sure if I really want the noise. That lot should do me... for now
-
I too have every permutation of rays, volk, TE37 as an ebay listing but I think I stumbled across them in the other recommended items bit. I will keep an eye out for any more that may come up
-
Thanks for all your advice and to think I nearly passed on them, very pleased now though. Mmmm I can feel the pull of flex A's getting stronger, does this ever end

These are the ones that I bought, originally listed at £750 a with not as much info as listed here in his second attempt at selling them. I gave him £650 in the end and had to make a 300 mile round trip to get them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volks-TE37-17-034-Bronze-Wheels-Subaru-Impreza-PCD-5-x-100-7-5jj-Et48-/122473762404?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=nE5HVuWsoS0h%2BpbciXTQBcj%2Bi4Y%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
