Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | djwilma - 28/9/2013 2:52 PM Buy some ZZR 185 55 13's you will notice the difference from the 185 60 13's But still the best metro ever.......if no longer the quickest Probably are better, but for 80 quid a corner on the 888's they are a bargain for the grip you can get And they have lasted a year inc santapod and lydden hill ,and they are still slightly above legal limit  Edited by R100_vvc 30/9/2013 10:26 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | not much of an update, but fitted my new top tint windscreen and rubber. Massive difference as driving in the sun with my old screen with a million chips was nasty. Fitted some nice black roof gutter trims which gives it a little more detail. Also fitted some new yokohama a048's in 175 60 13, the turn in feel is a lot better and they look a lot less ballon like compared to the 185 60 r888     | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | Alex G - 23/7/2014 10:36 PM I haven't seen those gutter trims before, they're rather smart. Normally found on austin metros, these came off my 1.3L but don't worry I have not scrapped my austin just Thought they look better on this | ||

Expert Posts: 2029 Location: sittingbourne, kent | Little update. Over Christmas I weighed up the odds to put new arches on mine and get the paintwork to standard I wanted and kinda worked out cheaper to get a really good metro in the colour I wanted. It was also nice to have a fresh slate to work with to correct things that I done on my previous car where I cut holes and welded pieces that were no longer needed. so I bought this 1993 metro quest with 18k on the clock, all original including arches. My old shell I donated to Conner rather then just weigh it in for pittance Sorry for crap pictures, really need a new phone. Already had the rear subframe and fuel tank off. cleaned everywhere, waxolyd all cavities. Started to fit rubstrips and other GTi associated parts.       Im fitting a larger turbo (same turbo as daz/dylans GT2560r) not so much to make a lot more power but to make it more efficient, as my gt20 turbo is running flat out at 13 psi and will be producing a lot of heat. But I wont be fitting this to my freshly built 1.8t, instead im fitting it to a 100k old 1.8 turbo engine as a trial run to see how it all copes. I have given the engine a feshen up. New belts, pump, all serviceable gaskets, lick of paint and a general good check over and all looks well. New belt, tensioner and water pump  Removed sump to remove any old sludge, it was quite dirty.  | ||
