Grande Punto My White GPS T-jet Progress Thread

[RAW90]

your car is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick haha - that shaft problems looking like a right pain in the a$$!

if you dont mind me asking being as you removed the gearbox yourself i presume, where is the oil refil for it? i have the M-jet and have a Very whiney 2nd and 6th gear and want to put some molyslip in to reduce and prolong the gbox.

Cant wait to see it back on the road with its new look

Just a quick one. Iv fitted the engine spacers roughly about 20mm atm 35mm would be the max as any more and the gearbox will come into contact with the chassis leg, il get some pics up. In the meantime..

Finally bought some porsches, fronts are 7j rears are 8.5j iv gone for 195/40 on the front and 205/40 on the rear for some stretch cant wait to get it all fitted

those the ones gpactivesport once had?

you got spacers on the wheels mate? if so, would like to see them as considering some

 

[BenYoung]

Ahhhh your ballin' like a boss now. Bet the adapters cost a bomb! But very nice. You keeping them that graphite colour or something else in mind?

 

[fletcher9017]

[TommyR]

No theyre not the ones he had, there's 2 types of genuine Porsche twists, he had the other type, these ones tend to be abit less common and abit more expensive aswell, yea i have 20mm rear spacers on the red wheels, and for the Porsche adapters iv gone for 20mm front and 25mm rear, il get some pics up.

Haha oh yeeeaaa! Adapters are silly money tbh but worth it and yea I bought them silver and decided to paint them anthracite, I went for ford Polaris grey

are you selling your old wheels then

I haven't decided yet, might keep them for winter wheels, we will have to see

 

[TommyR]

Saw this in person last night with the porkers on, one word...Boss!

 

[Loocas]

Well the twists are on, had a bit of an issue with adapter fitment with the rear brake but all sorted

 

[Wisey]

Yes yes yes!

Need i say anymore. That 3rd picture is just jaw droppinggggg.

[Loocas]

Not been on here for a while, not so much happened recently, apart from got her detailed by my mate ready for edition38 last weekend..

and a couple from the edition

and speed bumps are so fun

 

[Brin]

looking nice that mate!...watch the speed bumps haha

 

[TJEToates]

Looking amazing man!.. just read through after a long time, another driveshaft! i was planning on selling up as mine is back to standard, but i would love to keep it, so i'm on the search for longer driveshafts! only for a week or so.. until i give up! .anyways, looks so nice, love how it sits on those twists and how polished you're white is!

 

[AgnessGP]

love the car mate, which coils you on? im on JOm bluelines and the back seems a lot higher than the front whereas yours are much more equal.

good pics aswell btw

 

[Reuuk]

The wheels look brill stance is really good too

 

[Loocas]

Cheers for the nice comments everyone! means alot.
Toates iv messaged you and sam im running FK AK streets the rears are 3/4 of the way down and the fronts are all the way down with the helpers still in, tbh tho i wouldn't recommend these coilovers, the rear shocks have given up twice and the ride isnt the best but cant really expect much more for budgets i suppose, i desperately need new coilovers but im in 2 minds whether to keep it or sell up, if i do keep il probably go for some better quality Fks, and il probably get some Rotiforms, who knows..

Just re-read this thread for the umteenth time! Love it!
Pick up my White T-jet on Wednesday, LCR splitter and the Painted rear look sweet! Not a huge fan of the Porsche wheels but each to there own

 

[burnzi]

Did the engine and gearbox spacers sort the driveshaft problem out pal?
