Wires or Alloys

[bullstarz]

you must have to do some work to fit those in the arches, I had 225's at one time on the rears and they rubbed the extra indent made for the spare wheel on the Near Side.

The spare wheel indent went years ago when i fitted the 15" wire wheel. they to were 225's. The 255 don't foul on the inside but i have had to put flared arches on. If i have the rear ride height lowish then on acceleration the still slightly catch, a bit more adjustment needed.

This is a low as i can get it without chopping more of the arch out. There's still more to come off so there could be more attitude and less altitude.

I think Aaron at gas monkey garage would be proud of the slammed look of your Stag! Very cool, in fact even cooler than the Fonz!!

The alloys and the rest of the car held up to the first few test runs. Then an inlet pipe blew off as the when the boost came on. So I had to tighten the all up, the boost peaked at 12 psi not too bad for a start. The test was a 1500 rpm roll in in second the gradually press the throttle till the boost came on then hook up 3rd until we ran out of space. This also gave the brake a good bedding in, which are getting better.

The wheels as you can see broke loose but not too excessively, think the car just likes writing long number 11 .

A turbo car make you smile when you here the spinning up sound, it prepares you for what is about to happen. Pure uncensored acceleration and bigger smiles.

Very cool, bullstarz!! I must say its a very impressive Stag you’ve got. Is it more or less ready for the road, or is there anything else that needs sorting?

It was all done then I put a new gearbox, flywheel, clutch master cylinder, airlift 3H system, front air springs, AZ compressor, exhaust cut-outs, re done cooling system and Gaz shocks. All took a lot longer than I thought, it's nearly back together, just a it of tidying up.

Only issue is I missed the summer.

[jagorstag]

Wow, that is a lot of extra work! Any more videos or pics of your masterpiece?

Good thing though that the summer was hot and dry so you didn’t miss anything!!! I mean, at least you avoided sunburn and melanoma....
