Track Slag 318iS

[Geeman]

Well, it's now got it's 14" Weller Racing 'Track Slag' rims on with brand new Bridgestone Potenza RE's on... all for a bargain Ԛ£40 for all 5!!!!

Got it all running again now after a split water hose (stupidity on my part really - bending a hose that didn't want to be bent)

Took her out for a quick test drive and I love it! Very smooth and much better handling than the Sport - mind you, that's no suprise with the FK coilovers on and cage inside!

Anyway, here she is... nice and low!

[Davenotouring]

Cool!!

Looks like a proper track weapon with those rims!

Hopefully we can have a track weapon competition 318iS vs. Civic sometime this year!?

[Geeman]

Yeah, that'd be cool... if I've still got it. Up for sale at the moment (though no takers!)

Had to take some metal off the front calipers though as they were catching on the inside of the rims...

Notice it's new surroundings...? New house. More costs. Less cars needed!

The Sport's up for sale on the Zone now, so will be using this as my everyday transport for a while... should attract a few PC's attention when barking through town...

Am I reading his right... you got 4 hero chariots now...?

[Davenotouring]

Cool, movings all done then? That's good news.

I'm using the Civic everyday at present, people looking at it and thinking WTF! It looks a bit pants, but it goes well! Yours looks more classy though so I'm sure it's not so bad!

Track Day at Bassingbourn Airfield Ԛ£99 17th June

[Geeman]

Dude... no money to spend on fun at the moment! All going towards 'living' and the wedding unfortunatley, hence why the Sport is up for sale.

Will have some spare cash later on in the year I would think... unless I win the lottery!

So what's the story with the M535i...?

[Davenotouring]

Well, I wanted one for a while, and I'll be selling my Sport soon actually, and I saw this one and thought it looked nice! I'm going to hopefully pick it up this Sunday. Pics to follow!

Gonna still go 3.5 in the touring and once that is done I'll sell the M535i I think.

Keep the Civic for track/daily for a while. Then sell up everything and go travelling after a while!

I'll have the Civic and Touring for a while though. This is all being well of course.

Best of luck with the new house and of course the wedding. Hopefully once you are married we can do a track day at Donny or summat to celebrate!

[Kedge]

Alrite mate, good to see the Slags up and running again

Shame your having to sell the E30's, all for a good cause though, will you still be attending meets once they are both gone?

[Geeman]

Only be at the shows/meets if I've got a car to come in!

When the iS goes, I think I'll look for a cheap (Ԛ£500) Mk2 Golf to tide me over until things pick up again... at least it's German, reliable and easy to work on.

[Davenotouring]

Ant has got a decent Mk1 Golf Gti for sale Giles, he wants Ԛ£600. Looks smart, I was gonna go look at it if it wasn't for the M535.

[Geeman]

Only going to get one when they both go. No spondoolies for one without that happening!

Cheers anyway... after a Mk2 though, not into Mk1's for some reason....

[Davenotouring]

I read that as Mk1 mate, don't know why.



Good luck with the sales then mate, shame you gotta sell. Hope you get another E30 soon!

[Rearwheel_nick]

where did you get those wheels from? i am in love with them, your car looks so unbelievably right with those wheels on... must have somee

[Jhonno]

that looks hard as you like with them rims.. loving it!!

how much is it up for?

[Geeman]

Nick... you serious?

Jhonno... I'm not sure. I know how much it owes me in terms of parts and the time I put into it, but realistically I don't think I can ask Ԛ£4k for it!

Looking to ask Ԛ£2.5k - a bargain considering it's got Ԛ£650 worth of adjustable suspension it's sitting on, a Ԛ£350 cage, and all the rest of the kit that's on it. It's only been out once as well! Shame to let it go really.

Giles.

[Sjoerd320i]

I love it man!! lookes like a proper race car now with these rims on
looked more like a "show" car IMO with the pinas on

[TOURINGDADDY]

1 Propper track slag

[billgatese30]

good to see everything is ok mate, hope you get what you want for the both of them and get back into the fold in the not too distant future.

[johnono]

congrats on the house dude and nice one on the wedding

shame u have to sell the sport, its a nice car so it should sell for good money. only had it for a few months iirc?

anyway, u still have the i.s to roast around in

[Rearwheel_nick]

geeman i am deadly serious, i love your car with those wheels on... where did you get them i need some, it looks so hard and purposeful....like no posey shit just meannnnnn

[Geeman]

I got them off E-bay.

They're 6"x14" 'Weller Racing' steel rims, made for the Vauxhall single seater racing machines. Some guy had bought a garage somewhere and these were 'lying around'.



Lucky old me. They're a bit cheesey as they've got red anodised central spigots and a nice red stripe round the circumferance of the rim, but they suit the car pretty well.

Giles.
