Picked it up, now the questions start

Mine are almost perfect, refurbed at Pristine. Not cheap though was about £370 + I had them shipped back super fast at £30.

Yeah, i think i will be doing that.

I was going to buy new ones but they are just ridiculously priced now.

If my Williams was concours I'd consider new Speedlines

As for tyres, if you're planning on doing hillclimbs I don't think semi slicks are allowed (in the road going class) I may be wrong though...

you can refurb the wheels yourself and get great results, there used to be a thread on it in the members section.. i've done many wheels previously the haardest thing is getting them stripped or blasted...

a place near to me in the NW does it for 10quid per wheel and high build primes, the rest is just an afternoons work.

Tires, the purests on here will swear by the 185's, but i have had just as much fun and feel with 195/50/15's, the 45's look good but give such a harsh ride that the 50's make the better option, besides they are cheap as chips!

i didn't personally like Toyo's, and was impressed by the Parada Spec C's, fairly cheap too! However, people on the track have tended to like the A539's for wear and grip, although there are some that really hate them... its such a personal thing! lol...

There are a few people on here with cages and there are a few companies that do them off the shelf as well as custom, so have a quick search!

welcome to the Willy club ;) haha

Thanks Guys, wheels are aok on the car, just wouldn't mind a second set.
Are the ones fitted the Speedline Type 2012 (Acropoli Due)?

Would Turini (type 2120) look any good ??

What others do you Guys use?

More Questions:

What Oil Temp and Pressure should I be seeing (normal road driving)

Water Temp - once up to temp, the gauge seems to move up 2/3 little digets as if the themosat is constantly open and closing - is that right??

Thanks again in advance :D

[manxseven]

oh also forgot to ask,

do any of you get parts from AEP Direct ?? Just looking at their web-site and could do with some new fog lights - they say they are as orginal.

Ta,

Simon

There are many options but none look as good as a clean set of speedlines, although i have to say i am quite partial to the tur-bines if you can give them a unique color and polished lip.. i did some in a superb ferrari grigio metallic titanium with a polished lip... all done in my back garden in an afternoon haha.. looked pucka though!

I think GSF were the cheapest on fogs last time i checked and i think they are still original replacements.

There are a few threads on both the oil and water temps/pressures.... the pressures can range from 1bar to 3 bar on start up and drop to 1bar or less when warm, remember the device for monitoring the pressures is not really accurate and as such it is a 'guide'. The water temp in mine never got past 3/4, the thermo kicks in just before then and keeps it down. Keep an eye on coolant as well as check when the water pump was changed last etc...
