I'll be getting another set of wheels for road use, still looking at some options but yeah TE37's have always been one of my favs and would stay true to the original spec.

It's currently got R34 brembos on the front and R33 brembos on the rear. While they seem just about up to the job on the road and am sure would be fine on the strip, I'm not convinced they'd stand up to track useage and on a car that goes this quick I'd like it to stop well (like the 32 used to).

Right, I need to TRY and get some sleep...big day tomorrow

Congrats on the new purchase G!

Have fun with it

Sorry i didnt see this sooner, been so busy!

plumwerks · 4th July 2009, 03:59 AM

Excellent purchase,a legend indeed,I'm sure you'll fall in love every time you turn the ignition to start.

Madden · 4th July 2009, 07:44 AM

Hahaha can't believe that thing is on stock brakes

. Even on my r32 the r33 brembos where dead after 2 hard laps on track with 600 bhp

Get some more pics up man. Enjoy today you lucky git

Congrats Giles, excellent purchase.

Part of the gap in the dash was the HKS torque split controller, can't remember it's exact name. It's still sat in my office in the UK if you want to replace it.
I took it out and fitted the grid controller which is a far better option for burnouts. I never did get round to mount it properly though.

The other part of the hole just had a tatty scrap of c/f stuck over it.
I always intended to replace the full piece of c/f.

The rear arches have never been blistered or rusty, must have been a different car.

I've also got a set of bronze 18" TE37's in the UK.
2 of them are kerbed. Not deep but most of the way round the wheel, not sure how they would refurb without painting.
