Nooooooo!! Not for the blacklines.
I have both and blacklines are much more special. Jetfins are nice but just spokes like many other wheels, I have a feeling you will regret the swap :-(
-
Here my jtdm sports. The 156 sports was the final run out edition and upgraded to help sell off the last of the 156's. Around 125 of the sports model were made in uk and is similar spec to the ti but they were all stomboli grey (159 colour) 160bhp with side skirts, multi dial wheels, grey leather and white dials, mine has the boot lip spoiler, hids and 18inch r32 alloys.

Well she went in for the mot and............ It failed! :-(
But only 2 jobs to do and hopefully by next week she will be on the road for the first time since 2011, it's only take two years lol!
I have bought some more wheels only because they were stupidly cheap one needs repairing but only cost me all of £50!!!!! lol! Well £80 including shipping, my best bargain buy for a while :-)
Think they will go on the spider n blacklines on the v6 for now

Lol! Well hopefully that's the case, Its a family run business and I know they like there cars as they have a ac cobra in there testing station :-) it's funny I'm actually alittle nervous, the bloody abs light has been playing up, Neil who did all the brake work after he finished the compasitator and lines the abs light came on but then the light when back off, on the final test run after all work done one brake pipe failed it's been replaced but the abs light came on again, hopefully after a run it will go out like last time.

Yeah paso get it done especially in your stunner of a gtv, just not worth the risk.
Well Friday is the big day I collect the v6, having two tyres fitted in the morning and mot booked in at lunch time ahhh lol! I have had this project two years I. December so it's been a long time coming.
The beast is to have the following work done, full cambelt kit including water pump, new alternator fitted to solve battery light, front down pipe, stearing gaitors, wishbones and brake compensator
So the areas I'm a little worried about for mot is centre exhaust is blowing slightly, engine mount worn, handbrake always borderline and brake discs well haven't been used for two years lol!
Fingers crossed and wish me luck :-)

i have to agree jetfins in that colour look the business
-
No buddy the pics are ok for me,
Neil said the cambelt didn't look to bad concidering it 10year old would have expected to see cracking, here's the pic of the cambelt he removed
Not bad for 10year old!

Well I managed to source a original zender spoiler in Nero black in good condition so worth £106 I paided delivered as no paint needed :-) you know I will be measuring the holes I have to drill for at least a month untill it milometer perfect before fitting lol!
To spoiler her or not to spoiler her........
-
Euro or pounds? Do you have the front splitter?
-
The belt was done on 15.11.2005 with 45281 miles, cars now Done 86000. Neil is going to take some pics, he also recommend a new clutch while the engine is out so getting that done to.
Only £60 to have picked up and delivered to autoitalia so not worth the risk with a old cambelt, Can't wait to get it back
-
Hi guys I'm after front splitter, cup side skirts and cup splitter
My gtv is Nero black, don't really want them in a different colour as respray cost in uk are very expensive but will consider depending on price
Cash waiting
Cheers Jon

Thanks,
well next weeks is the big one, she has been sat for a few years but not any longer, she is going in for the final work, cambelt kit including water pump, new alternator, wishbones, oil n filter change and pre mot check, cant wait I might be able to drive her properly and not worry about a 10year old belt. Lol!
If all goes well I might even treat the old girl to done black drilled n grooved brake discs :-)
-
I like this one, rosso red black wing mirrors, roof and defuser.
White gtv look cool to
-
Cheers guys, yeah your right it is very gtr looking! Was thinking of using the v6 n spider as daily driver but the v6 might be to load now lol! Still got front downpipe to replace and then I will post a vid of the beast! Lol!
On the the brake compensator today all good fun! (One of the bolts rounded)
-
wow, fantastic job!!
-
Well exhaust finally fitted three months later after hours of adjustments, tweaks and measuring. I'm think I'm getting fussy Lol!
Cutting the bumper was easy, just used card from a old box of cereal and dawned around original exhaust groove. Then flip the card over and use as a template on the other side of the bumper, measure the distance from defuser style edge and mark around it. I used a jig saw to get close to the lines and then filled the edges down so nice sooth curves and edges, took longer but worth it, I was temped to use a dremil but one mistake and ruined!!!
Once I was happy with the measurements and the look I tighten everything up

Wow nice gtv!! Fitting a 20v turbo coupe engine is a great idea!
-
Hello bud, yeah the exhaust is good, been on and off a few times as it needs to be perfect matching on both sides so a few minor adjustments still needed more so to the brackets but sounds like a absolute beast!
not to much off a update she's been sat for about six months now im busy (moving house need a garage) i have changed over the front brembo and fitted the powerflex dog legs so nice and tight. Very easy job 45 mins a side made easy with a deep 22mm socket and a wizzy gun.
the old against new powerflex
all done will revist the rest of the rear suspension next year
next the brake compensator, discs and tweak the exhuast.
