Spotted In Wolverhampton

[petros]

Blue Chimaera turning off the Tettenhall Rd. this evening. Anyone here?

[55jnj]

Would anyone own up to being in Wolverhampton anyway. Same goes for Coventry.

Heh - & just because I have a blue Chimaera, do NOT assume it was me !!

Coventry ?

[55jnj]

Sorry - that was lateral thinking !

You've heard the expression "Being sent to Coventry" I'm sure. Chosen because they didn't know how to spell Wolverhampton.

[petros]

Ah, nothing to do with me being at TVR Power this morning then?

[55jnj]

Heh - that was spooky !

Dom OK ?

[petros]

Never met him before, nice chap. Unfortunately I need a new Cam it seems, having it fitted this weekend. Not cheap are they ? The cams' that is

[55jnj]

Yes - he's a really decent chap - Jamie too.

I'm on my 4th cam from new. Ouch.

[petros]

Taking the car to Ian at Middlewich Mot centre in Cheshire on Sun am.I've got all the parts and he's fitting them for less than £200. I've used him before, he's ex christopher Neil and know Tvrs extremely well. Would recommend him highly.£25. per hour, it's worth the drive !!!

Nice looking car - tell me about those wheels - are they split rims ? Size ? Make ?

[petros]

16" Image Wheels. Image Wheels being in Tipton. Imagewheels.co.uk Excellent choice.3 piece Billet Alloys. Mine have a special treatment so that cleaning consists of soapy water only, no alloy wheel cleaner whatsoever.

[55jnj]

16" all round ? Handling affected ? Do you track the car ? Did you have to use spacers at all ? Rough cost ? Weight of wheel ? Which rubber do you use ?

Am trying to find a lightweight second set of wheels to use just on track, as swapping tyres around is a waste of time. Have had an AP Racing 4 pot brake set up on 305s front, so choice of wheel is not easy. Do not want to use spacers.

[petros]

Cost,including new Toyos was just over £1600. Handling fine but never been on a track day. Have a look at their Web Site, they've some fantastic wheels, built to order.

[55jnj]

Cheers - have been doing just that. The website is certainly comprehensive - weight & offset info included - so many other wheel manufactuers just show you a picture & then you have to get in touch to see if they stock/can make the wheel of choice. My only concern about Image is that their wheels do look a little, shall we say, "bling" - maybe that's because most of the photos are in high gloss silver. Thanks for info anyway.

Don't look bling on the car, worth your while popping to see them, just off the B.ham New Rd. at Coseley.
