LuckyCat's Project - NC2

Postby LuckyCat » Sat Feb 18, 2012 4:43 pm

I've started a little project. Here is the Garage Vary front splitter being test fitted, prior to painting. It is a very good fit!

Ohlins? :)

Check out the OMG, Ohlins thread, since you may be able to score a 'test' of a NC equipped with the best coilover line this side of a full race setup. Plus Guy is a good guy and his mods will tip you further over the edge... hehe.

HAHAHAHA.... I call it "Pandora's box....."

PM me if you want to take Macey out for a drive and have a look at her kit - she's been a work in progress for the last 2 years. I live on the Lower North Shore during the week and North of Hornsby (near Nemo) on weekends.

Oh well. I painted the bar covers to match the wheels.

Thought about matt black and removing the windows, but...some one has already done that.

Getting the covers off is pretty straight forward. The covers are specific for each side. I bought some spares off one of the guys on the forum.

Then we add a set of these.
They are O.Z Racing Alleggerita HLT 17X7 ET49 imported from Italy. Each wheel is supplied with a hub ring and a tag indicating the weight.
In this case the wheels were 250g lighter than the OEM wheel.
A set of wheel nuts were also supplied, but they are heavy and I will be replacing them with something a lot lighter.

The tyre I chose was Kumho KU36 205/45/17. I have already dríven to Brisbane on these and II have to say they offer better comfort and grip in the dry than the RE050A, though they are noisier. But, driving most of the way to Brisbane with the top down, the tyre noise goes away .
