Big tire and small rim win!
The placement of the tree was very convenient as it obscures the front of the car which is still on the poo spec Windom wheels. But after having these on, I'm amazed at how well they turned out, and will definitely be painting my other set this same colour scheme as it contrasts amazingly with the red paint. I will be taking some better pictures on flat ground soon and will hopefully if time permits try and get the rear spoiler ready for paint.
While I was at Matt's, we also got cracking on getting my Impuls split apart. Spot the hangover glass of water haha.
Excellent safety gear like always. Turns out old frying pans are particularly useful as bolt collection units!
Much like the Rays, a swift heel kick is enough to drop the centers out once the bolts have been removed.
You can see in this picture our shortcut for removing the bolts. A drill, a 10mm hex bit, and an 8mm ring spanner! Excellent idea from Matt and much much faster than just doing them individually with a ratchet.
However, with the speed we were removing bolts with, we somehow ended up losing a nut on the grass somewhere. Patting the lawn down didn't yield results, and a quick brain wave (which was surprising considering how hungover he was), led us to adopt this now patented idea for finding the stubborn nut lol.
Hopefully over the break I should be able to make considerable progress on the Impuls and the car in general as I'll have some spare time and am super excited to work on it again. I've got a colour scheme in my head already decided for these wheels and if it turns out the way I imagine it, it's gonna be f-ing brilliant! Then I can move on to the Panasports! Exciting times ahead.
