  1. Asking for a friend they are looking at purchasing it, noticed the wheels look like they have been repainted, was wondering if anyone knew the history of it?
  2. Hi Guys With the F now gone my BBS RS 805/806, genuine BBS 3 piece wheels with forged centres. Front 19 x 8.5 ET38 with 225 40 19 tyres Rear 19 x 9.5 ET38 with 255 35 19 tyres The tyres are pretty much brand new have maybe done 1000 miles, Good-Year F1 supersports Looking for £2650
  3. I too had AM wheels at one point, iirc 19x8.5, +50.3 front offset 19x9.5, +62.5 rear offset
  4. shouldn't have a problem selling them, i posted a pic on the Odyssey owner FB page and everyone commented on how much they like the wheels, i think it needs something far simpler, motorsport esque.. Thats if my BBS dont fit
  5. not my thing, too much of a bus rather than a car
  6. I did look at the Subaru's and Stageas, but the Odyssey sold it for me, with the 3rd row of seats folded down the back is huge and perfect for two big dogs, this one happened to be very local to me so decided to go and have a look, it feels much newer than a 2011 car, its only done 60k miles and is like brand new, it also comes with a couple of nice additions, HKS hypermax coilovers, mugen exhaust, the wheels are not my taste but are genuine Work wheels in as new condition, so should make a few quid back on them. Now lookng forward to picking it up and driving it so that i can decide on engine plans
  7. After nearly 4 years of ownership the ISF is leaving, time for something entirely different, I couldn't think of anything that fits my needs, I really miss modifying cars and tinkering so decided to build something myself starting with this
  8. I had the Bilsteins on mine before I swapped to the BC Racing coilovers, although they were on it when i got the car so not shure how they compare to standard, but seem alright
  9. you dont have to however i did try it, nothing very scientific but it seemed to return a lower MPG
  10. for info they are the same as the Supra 05/93-08/02 bushes if you wanted to go the aftermarket route
  11. 100% i would change the diff bushes, preferably stiffer ones, infact on my own car a would probably go solid mounted. Presume you mean how the brakes manage the diff on a non-LSD? From what I understand the controls are the same across all years, however a mechanical diff is quicker than the electronics so doesnt have the opportunity to kick in
  12. hard to say, i would have thought he would need to factor in the 6.3 too as that is further offsetting the wheel
  13. Welcome to the club!!!! how much fuel have you got through so far? lol

  15. @BTCC_ Racer Out of curiosity I spoke with Gripper Diffs (as mentioned above) they dont currently manufacture a unit for the ISF, but can do bespoke applications, for a 1 off it would be £3000 +VAT (their off the shelf diffs are generally around the £1200 mark so more than half the price goes into the engineering costs) If a few of us were interested that would obviously bring the price down. THE OFFICIAL GRIPPER DIFFERENTIALS – LIFE-TIME WARRANTY ‘Buy direct, with full factory support’ GRIPPER DIFFERENTIALS is a UK based company with a wealth of experience in manufacturing Limited Slip Differentials. We have been manufacturing LSD units for over 16 years. Our in-house design facilities and CNC machining ability’s make us responsive to the customers needs. We have a large range of limited slip differentials currently available ready build direct from our stock and new units are constantly being developed covering all forms of Motorsport as well as Road use. With the latest developments using the Quiet Plates the Gripper Differentials can be set up with varying amounts of “Preload” and Ramp angles to suit individual needs giving Quiet, Smooth, Progressive control. With certain settings the “differential action” is hardly noticeable, the improved handling being all that is felt. Alternative settings, say for “Rallying”, will give continuous drive even when a wheel is lifted or indeed a broken drive shaft, instilling complete confidence in whichever type of vehicle you are driving.
