Club 80-90 Forums

have a look on t5 forum, lots of pics, there are loads of guys running em on their 5s, 9" n 10", AC fabrications at scarboro are doing a fair few sets up this way, they do look quite sweet IMHO. Tho, I run merc 16" they do 7" and 7 1/2" steels at bowt same cost as banding on...

haha, "stupidity tax" has been around for years, invented by a company called 'camelot'

just think to yourself rob, roughly how long it would take to strip(bead last, dipp if powdered) then clean (degrease/ tack off etc) pre heat, then powder , quality check, bubble wrap or just cover up,all this after you've paid to have tyres removed, then when you've come up with a time, truthfully ...

if you fancy a pug, have a word with 'billy739' or 'famous phil' they seem more than pleased with their's, I think billy's mite even be the 2.1 multivalve, tho not sure. I run a 1.9tdi from a 406 in my velle and it suits me fine, tis good on fuel and has more of an appetite for revs than the vw1.9s ...

yup, them scooby's are mint, not quite a simple swap, (well electrics to me are a no no, but I am a numpty) but a lovely motor,loads of bits chucking around for em now, do a search on here or the brick-yard and you will find plenty of help/advice, good luck, wish I was doing that to a bus..

yup, me too, love them 17"fuchs, check out "beaker's blog" for some pics, as for offsets, well I'm still not sure,???????????? yet

hey there nicko, my velle was a 1.9 petrol velle, before we fitted first a 205 diesel and now a 1.9 intercooled 406 motor, it's not straight forward, but at the time I thought it worthwhile.we made a bellhousing adapter modded the flywheel to keep the dub clutch and did some wiring,modded the engine...

"fit straight in" oh if it wer that easy.....

I ran jaykay on my t4, they were pants, even tho I don't carry a load they were almost coilbound in the first year I have AVO's 70's from baxter and would say they are a hundred times better even the coating is staying on at the mo

my guess is there probably isn't much difference in cost between a pait job and a wrap, I think wrapping is just easier if you are wanting a complex design, ie you can transfer a photo or weird pattern via computer onto the wrap before it is applied (in leymens terms) a wrap could be a couple o gran...

eyup keith, H.N.Y. to you and best wishes to you in your present turmoil...wig re; 2.4, I've run two 2.4 t4s before my present 2.5tdi and tho they wer'nt the rocket ship the 2.5 is, they served me famous, one had 100k on and the other an ex john smith's service van had 182k when I sold them, niether...

aarrgh! boring out centres of t4 steelies, nah, no thankyou, too risky, just get 15 or 16" mercs and be done with it, no centre boring needed, offset suitable, pcd good, price- cheeeap used

WEHEY.. :D am right for a change.. yes the ML and also IMHO those big amg style merc rims seem to suit the t3, plus they're usually cheaper than some of the new less robust copies...we look after a couple of ML's at work and have never seen any alloys with problems, unlike the audi style which I've ...

not 100% sure but I don't think you'll get a real nice offset with the EMPI's?(tho I cud be wrong, I am usually :( ) Mercs do seem a very reasonable alternative and are usually fitted to cars weighing almost as much as a bus. I have 16" merc steels on mine(just cos I like the retro stylee) but ...

-KAPOW-!! nice bus that robin, -ZAP-!! I like the wheels,
