project.r.racing · 18-08-2010, 10:25 PM

cost of repairs?

astie · 19-08-2010, 09:10 PM

my astie now:

had replaced steering rack, control arm, strut, cross-member, hub, front guard, tailgate, bumper (all resprayed). Realigned rhs chassis and strut tower ... and more..

astie · 19-08-2010, 09:14 PM

the cost is 4k.. i know it'll cost exactly the same to get a new one but I've already chosen this way and I'm happy to have it back on the road

Clean_Cookie · 20-08-2010, 04:35 PM

cool! looks good, hope it tracks straight @ highspeed

astie · 20-08-2010, 05:00 PM

the wheel alignment is pretty much perfect. I've been testing the car in different driving condition and seems fine. Didn't feel anything unusual at 100kmh, just need to reset the steering wheel (like 4mm turned to the left). It's not a big issue but i can feel it, just want to make things perfect.

now just need to get some alloys then i'll be done for this year

(hopefully)

Kat X · 20-08-2010, 09:14 PM

Great!! And yerrr you definitely need some new wheels

project.r.racing · 20-08-2010, 09:23 PM

get some black rims and tail lights.

marcs_sp20 · 20-08-2010, 09:25 PM

I reckon try and track down another BBS rim (yes might be hard, but worth it), suits the car, and maybe a toucher lower

project.r.racing · 20-08-2010, 09:30 PM

astie - do you have 2 14in rims or 1 14 in + 1 16in rims on the fronts?

*hrrrmm* definitely. That was what i was planning for my red ba..

Or. Black spokes with silver .. roundy wheel bits.

project.r.racing · 20-08-2010, 09:32 PM

yeah thats what i meant, black spokes w/ polished outer lip.

Kat X · 20-08-2010, 09:42 PM

Nice! *thumbs up*

haha.

astie · 20-08-2010, 10:44 PM

um... i wish i have the money right now but other than a sets of cheap alloys, they'll all be next year's story.

i was also thinking to find that bbs ... but it's so rare that i can't even find anything in google (Australia site). the model of that is BBS RX211.. i might end up ebaying the 3 of them.

project.r.racing - i'm running 2 14" stock wheels on the front.
