Towelie's Thuner grey

Been on here a few weeks, seems to be a more midlands based forum so wouldt mind getting involved in meets and what not so thaught id post.

Iv only been running the car for a month so its pritty bland atm, just gathering some engine build parts atm.

i baught it with a mangled front end so its pritty ruff but will be staying like that more then likly as id sooner spend money on other things

Looks pretty sweet mate where are you based then? What engine plans you got for it?

looks like you are heading in the right direction with this. you could do with spacing the wheels out to warrant the tyre stretch though imo

im from Newark near Notts mate. its pritty dead round Here

im picking a B20z1 bottom end up hopefully next week, not sure what head im going with yet tho.

hoping to have it in around may as i get set holidays from work so if its not ready to go in then its aug, im not waitn that long!

yea, i no only got the tyres put on yesterday. im going to be making spacers this week at work, how wide would you recomend.

I would of thought around 10-15mm should be alright. Im going for 10mm spacers for mine soon.

yea thats what i was thinking, il hopefully have them on next weekend, im not sure if the tyres are too stretched tho tbh, i dearnt go fast round courners lol maybe they were a bad buy.

Plenty of people stretch there tyres mate, dont seem to have any problems of people who have done on here. Are they 165's? 7J wide alloys?

yea i got told to go with 165, they are 7j the bloke who fitted them said il be back by the end of the day to get them re fitted lol. so i should be able to drive as normal then.

good start, like the wheels, they look like 16's for some reason but im guessing there 15's?

I drift on stretched tyres btw, its fine

B20 Build - i like

that stretch is fine dude, ive had no problems with the 175's stretched onto my 15x8j Schmidts



ive given it some abuse around the bends with no issues

they did have 165's on them but they looked like rubber bands lol

rubber band spec ftfw

b20 o jee's, go with an A or A2 head (Y) frankinstien

you'll be fine on those tyres, be careful with tyre shine though lol

I hate that tyre fitters are like... blah blah blah

rubba band ftw, yea the tyre place tried to charge me more even on the business acount told him to get fu**ed haha.

need to get on the search for the head tho, id imagine thers quite a few A2 head kickin about. any UK companies sell the v tec conv lines? any one kno

golden eagle kits are pretty readily available on ebay.com
postage shouldnt be major as its quite a small kit to post

if you post around on forums you shouldent have a problem sourcing one really.

i know where there is one in a scrsappy but the guy would deffo want through the roof for it and he;s a twat!

yea thats the kit i was going to go with as you dont have to do any tapping as far as im aware. just wondering if anyone sold them over here, il probly just get one off ebay.

Same wheels on my ej9 with 165/50s.
Unless there losing air they ain't comin off.

are you runnin any spacers? think im gonna go 10mil

i don't own the car anymore buddy, i wasn't running any spacers but yeah if i still had it id be dropping 15-20mm spacers on there.

you will need at least 20mm on them

iv found some hubcentric 25mm spacers reckon that will be an ova kill? haha dont want to have to sell them on agen as they aint cheap!, i made some 10 mil ones an they dont do nuffin so im in two minds :S

Get the 25mm, you know it makes sense

If the wheels don't fit then the arches need adjusting not smaller spacers

15" bbs rz's right?

Nice motor
I had a c4 head on my b20z, good for torque, just make sure oil pump is cool.
