Right then, me and the fiancee are saving to go travelling at the end of the year. As such we need to raise as much money as possible. This has led me to performing a garage clearout. All the stuff which has accumulated over 15 years of hobbies, pastimes and ill advised adventures is now up for sale...

hi there, I've just fitted 15" vauxhall steel rims on 10mm spacers with extended wheelstuds to my 340. Only problem is the centre hub is smaller than the bore on the wheel. Does anyone know where I can get spigot rings for a Volvo hub to a vauxhall bore? I've tried search and have gotten close (some...

Go to a Drift Uk practice day and satisfy the D1 GB drivers (who instruct on these days) that you know what you're doing. You wont be able to do anything in the wet (unless its raining) and you'll need a welded diff, but if you know what you're doing then you'll get the licence. Stiggy was judging o...

Now that I've got the spacers on theres not enough wheelstud to put the bolts back on! :lol: Anyone know where i can get longer wheelstuds from? i've tried the search ...

auch. thats a shame, 1.7's in this condition are hard to find these days. hope you have fun killing it :shock: I have no intention of killing it, I have drifted 3-door Sierra Cosworths, s14as, Carlton GSI's and AE86s and all of them were sold on when I wanted something different, all of them at a m...
