Beautiful bus and it sounds great too. I would like to know more about your wheel spacers. I have been thinking of running 5x112 Subaru wheels as well. Do you have any advice or feel that the spacers are not safe?
|
the subaru wheels are not in 5 x112 , I have 10mm adapter on the front and 15mm on the rear, no probleme for the moment...
I ll more safe if I have porsche wheels !!!, but BBS LM in 17" have 10mm offset not good for my bus, and I didn t want to fit 18" wheel, perhaps a set of RH turbo twist in 17 ... |

BTW I have a set of genuine BBS LM 7,5x17 ET38 5x112 all around. Thinking of selling them..let me know if you are interested. |
Hi
My ones are in 5 x112 too...but my brakes are in 5 x 130 |

BTW what is that gold color yoou are using? It looks like genuine BBS gold, very nice ;) |
original LM in 5 x 130 and 7,5 x17" have an offet 15mm can fit on my bus If I want to fit real LM with no adapter, I need 18" ones, too hight for me, prefer 17". In the futur perhaps I ll need to remove the adapter and fit 5 x 130 wheels. mine at this moment,are in 5 x 112 ET 45.
BBS sale the real paint on their website, I used Volvo maya gold paint |

It s really fun to see the face of the T5 drivers when I passed them on the highway at 180 km/h :D I do some mods on the Martin Bott oil sump, a welded bung for the oil temp sensor and a oil control baffle ( the oil light is on when I make big brake :rolleyes:) and modify the clutch pedal and rebuilt the axles ( changing the CV boots ) http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/...odifcarter.jpg http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/...difcarter1.jpg http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/...e.jpg~original I found an error with my throttle cable, I accelerated just at the middle :D repare now and go faster !!! Go to 105 mph with the 4th gear , and after past the 5th, the speed go back to 99 , I need a road slightly in descent to went to 112 mph.I can t test the max speed for the moment with the garmin gps , I ve test the speed, 0/60mph in 8,5 seconds just good with my little 2,5l non turbo :smt023 So the police take me my driving license for 2 months...too speed :smt018 Waiting is too long.... |
