5 GT Turbo Big Steve's "ST Cup" Car

[Adey]

Hmmm I may have answered my own question... looks like the O/S arch is a lot more crumpled than the N/S, probably the car had a coming together with another one on the race track, but you can't see it with the bodykit on..

was going to say the metal arch behind the plastic arch looks different? what the measurement from the wheel to the plastic arch? would need to be a proper big hit to knock the whole rear beam out to one side. the fact the wheels are straight and the car doesnt crab down the road would lead me to say the body had taken the hit and thats where the miss alignment is.

Do you know on the renault 4 the rear wheels are offset a little bit next time you see a renault 4 you will see it 2 it's the way remail designed it . Don't think the 5 is though

Speedline 2118's were rubbing a bit too much for me to buy & fit the slicks in-time for Blyton... so I've given the old OE Steelies a bit of love..

Dropped them off at a local blaster/powdercoater and asked for a bright silver.. got them back and they're bloody white?! Still I suppose it will match the colour of the car..

White looks like bright silver with abit of brake dust on them... Look good anyway

 

[Paul B]

They look fresh , which is always good....cant wait to see it on track again at Blyton, Chop Chop young man

Looks perfect Steve... White wheels suits the car really well.

 

[Paul B]

definitely the best shade of Silver to go for.... I think I prefer it white, even though they will not be white for long,

[Duncan Grier]

Looks like it is ready for a good work out
