hiya mate,cheers for the comment, insurance prices seem to be killing everyone off at the moment, i pay silly money for mine but im not going to be put off doing what i love doing

funnily enought i had a set of superlights in white that i was going to put on mine, perfect for the euro lok but i didnt like them and after seein the brava wheels i was determind to make them fit

hopefully im going to prove a few folk wrong on here and get 60mm on 15s even if it means a whole loada work

Today ive been working on the sound system and managed to melt the fuse into the +ve amp wire after plugging up 4 12" subs, hoping to get some thicker guage wire to run and will be intalling a 2farad powercap and 2 more amps ( 2 for subs 1 for components) and maybe even a set of 6x9s

the aim is low slow and loud then the upgrades will begin ready for a 16v conversion at somepoint next year :devil:

cheers again

Re: Zippy!!

Woop I'm officially a donated member lol

Ok so quite a good update today

This week ive managed to pick up another sub box also I have rebuilt my sound system to how I originally wanted it also I have a pic of a problem. I have and need some help with

Anyway pictures

Boot build need to get the centre shelf covered and finish a few little bits off but here goes






And now for the question

As in previous post I have issues with getting my wheels on, my question is what recommendations do you have or do I need to get a better pic maybe with a tape measure so gives you a better idea ?? Any ideas on wht size spacers I will need or any easy ways to work it out ect, i was planning on putting 10mm spacers but have been told it's stupid to do that on the rears

Here's my problem



Any help would be great

I have a ps edit of roughly how the rear of zippy will look in Few months time what do ya think ???




Cheers guys

Re: Zippy!!

We need to know the more details about the wheels to tell you really. How wide are they? Whats the offset?

Re: Zippy!!

No idea On the offset the width is 15x6j

Apparently it should be stamped on the wheel will have a look today


Cheers

Lee

Re: Zippy!!

yeah it will be stamped somewhere

Re: Zippy!!

written on the edge of the face of the wheel is
6jx15h2-40

written on the back of the spokes we have
GAISi7Mg ITALY,
SL1377 speedline,
a date stamp,
T08E,
6b8551,
B412,


these are the only markings i can see on the wheels, i have googled most of the numbers yet i cant work out what the wheels are or a part number

i know they come from a brava hsx

cheers

Re: Zippy!!

Right i don't consider myself an expert at this so if anyone wants to correct me, go for it..

So those wheels you have are 6" wide & ET40
standard sei 13" alloys iirc are 5.5" wide & ET29

using this gives this result:
inside edge of your wheel sits 17mm further in
and the outside edge will be 5mm furhter in

So 15mm spacers on the rear will bring the wheel within 2mm of where a standard alloy would be but the outer edge will be 10mm further out. Your front wheels need to be spaced at least as much as the back and preferably a little more but they might stick out too much.. You might get away with 10mm spacers on the back but from the picture looks doubtful. Going lower makes it worse so all that stereo pushing down on the rear won't be helping none. What size tyres have you got on them??

Re: Zippy!!

tyres are 195/45/15

looking although hubcentric wheel spaces are going to be needed then and the arches are going to need to be flaired or some aftermarket arches fitted??

its already 35mm lower but im convinced these wheels are going on whatever it costs lol

cheers

Lee

Re: Zippy!!

wouldn't be such an issue if spacers weren't so bloody expensive, you could just buy a load and mess about

Re: Zippy!!

lol yea, spacers are crazy prices think i may invest in some washers first to work out roughly how much im gonna need, cheers for all your advice blu, really is appreciated

Lee

Re: Zippy!!

So today I made the descision to get rid of all the sound system kinda realized this was getting to be one of those 'chav' cars and that really isn't what i wanted,

Rear seats are going back in until the 1.4 conversion when I will put in a full cage

I spent half the day sunday washing and polishing zippy and just got more and more disheartened as I found more and more stone chips ( to be expected for a car with 112,000 miles on the clock),although I did receive my rotary polisher this last weekend so hopefully when I get a nice day I might start filling the stonechips and give him a full wet flat down followed by a buff back up to make him all shiney again

Anyway as I said the whole of the sound system is out and hopefully from selling the bass boxes and various amps and sets of 6x9s I should be able to get my wheel spacers to get the wheels on

Have taken some pics which I will add tomorrow


Cheers

Lee

Re: Zippy!!

That post pleases me you can have a good stereo without all that rubbish in the back.. Your car is gonna feel so much faster without it in as well

Re: Zippy!!

Yeah, you should weigh all the subs etc and then see how much weight youve lost by taking them all out, Ive got one 12" sub in my car and that does the job for me

Re: Zippy!!

Yeah 4x 12"ers in the van is overkill nevermind in a cento LOL

Re: Zippy!!

im glad you took that stuff out before some chav stole it when your tucked up in bed

what bhp do these cars have as stock?

and what are you getting out of it atm?
