It was sold to me as FK 60/60 kit - I got it 2nd hand and was told its only has a few thousand miles on it which i believe - at either rate its alot newer than what was on there before lol.
And John, they are only 14" with 185/50 they aren't that big - i might have to go down to 175/50 though or maybe just slightly smaller spacers as it does scrub on the arch just where the front bumper meets when you go over bumps of which there is plenty round here. It is a bit low now really but i do love the way it looks lol. And yes it still has the bucket seats too, feel like your sat on the floor when you drive it

Speaking of them seats, I found the seat adjuster for one of them the other day. Welcome to pick it up next time you're back this way

Well done fair few miles up and down motorway recently coupled with having to park under trees (must get a cover!!!) it was time for a quick wash and polish.
On another note, smaller spacers now fitted up front and now that doesn't ever catch anymore, not even with the 185/50 - but now they aren't catching i can hear the rear does ever so slightly over big bumps but i'm happy as i'm talking the kind of bumps you only go over if you don't see them and you hit them faster than you should when this low. Although slightly smaller spacers at back would probably solve that issue as well.

well not much to report, she is no longer subject to daily duties since i bought the Ignis.. She hasn't been running very nice when first started up last few times i have driven it but swapped out the crank sensor today for a brand spanker one and she fired up perfectly after so hopefully the crank sensor was on the way out and that's now sorted.
Spent last day and half getting Betty ready for Stanford Hall, and thats just the outside lol - did the inside last weekend.
She is looking pretty shiny
This is where its been to clean it, under cover cause of the weather, shame i can't park it there all the time really!!!
And out in the car park bit of the farm
And she is now all tucked up in bed so she doesn't get dirty and sap and leaves etc on her before i set off.
Come see her and me at Stanford on Sunday!!

I don't think it has been mentioned before, and curiosity demands I ask... What tire size are you running?
OP
OP
185/50r14 - its what i have always run on nearly every cento i have owned.. And just for info, i usually run yokohama a539 tyres although i am contemplating trying some maxxis maz1 - they only been making them in the size for about a year and they are about £20 cheaper per corner than the yoko's. I do rate the yoko's highly though - great tyres for thrashing in the dry but not so great in the wet but i tend not to be driving to enthusiasticly in the wet so thats ok.
