ok, perhaps not the update you want, but it's an update none the less

I need a daily steering wheel as the Nardi I have is suede and it'll get wrecked with my sweaty hands on the street as I won't be wearing gloves So the delema is, do I buy the leather version of the same wheel or do I use this wooden Nardi wheel that I kept from a previous ride?? It's quite rare I believe because it's the 330mm version, a lot of the wooden versions are like 350mm+ so I hung onto it. Should I run it? It's kinda funky huh . . .




........................

and for a another installment on the Hectiva, i've gotton bored of the meshies and want a bit more tuck to emphasize the lowlow so I picked up these 15" steelies for next to nothing, soooo.....




and the fitment i've meticulously worked out . . .




+ an undesclosed colour combo

i'll get to the golf eventually

oh, I never formally introduced my daily! Meet the Ford Festiva dubbed the "Hectiva"

Laughable mods include:

- Half tinted tail lights
- rattle can rear bumper painted black strip (cuz it used to be blue)
- rattle canned side skirts and front skirt painted black (cuz I can't get;em off!)
- removed rear window wiper, spoiler and various blue stickers
- "joey modded" headlights
- removed front number plate
- Performance 14x6 rims (havn't got round to working out the offset yet)
- cambered up with shims -> -4deg camber and 14mm toe in rear and -1.5deg camber up front
- with 175/50 Sanwas that last a month on the rear :/
- Snap-on seat cover! dyno proven +13whp, amazing.

Well a hecti update since i'm still waiting on the vr6 engine to be delivered . . .

Had one steelie made up to 15x8 +25 and then had a 185/45 nankang stretched onto it to check fitment; They'll be staggered with a +10 out back, so luckily I had a 15mm spacer here to fit up with the wheel to achieve the +10 fitment on the rear.

So here's how nicely my measurments worked out!









now off to get the others made up and painted + put the front down a bit more
