The colinisneat timeline, it's the cool thing to do.

[colinisneat]

Well I haven't posted in here for a while. I haven't done too much to my car recently, since it's winter and all I do is work. I added a few zip ties to my splash guard and I forgot to post up that I had picked up one of these...

Steering wheel is legit!

[colinisneat]

Thanks my man. I'll have to get some pics.

[colinisneat]

Not that big of an update here, I just wanted to post a picture of the wheel. I want to put it in but I had appendicitis so I had to have my appendix removed and spent the weekend in the hospital. Looks like it will be 2 weeks until I can put this in, unless a friend and my brother want to do it for me haha.

[b5in]

Damn Colin I hope you have a speedy & full recovery, an appendicitis is no joke & you are sooo young

[colinisneat]

Thanks Paul I appreciate it!! Actually being young and very healthy helped me out a lot. They were shocked I had it because I wasn't in a ton of pain and I was still hungry and eating normal. Basically the symptoms seemed more like kidney stones than appendicitis. I'm already feeling a lot better though.

[fbm93]

The wheel looks dope, Colin. Should prob tell your brother to get on that!

Feel better buddy

[colinisneat]

Thanks Wes! I need to get him to do it haha, maybe this weekend.

[drewlegittoquit]

Get the hub here quicker and maybe I can make it happen

[James Himself]

i thought i had appendicitis a few months ago, turned out to be a stomach virus with sharp abdominal pains. and $6000 later i was feeling fine...

hope you feel better

[colinisneat]

Thank you! Mine was the exact opposite haha. I thought I just had a stomach virus because of sharp abdominal pains but nope it was appendicitis.

[thepirate]

Dang man that sucks! Wheel look sick, get better soon!

[colinisneat]

Thanks Chris! We're getting 10+ inches of snow so at least I have something to look out the window at haha.

Beetle headrests, I still need to figure out a way for the rears to fit in.

i just picked up some black cloth new beetle headrests, how did you fit yours in your seats, or did they just fit? I have the black factory sport cloths

sorry i know this post is from september i've been searching for beetle headrests ever since i saw this on your timeline and picked some up two for $15 the other day at the local junk yard

[NickBroderick]

I wanted a Nardi a couple months ago... now I want one again.

Get well soon.

beetle headrest bump

[colinisneat]

Nick, Thanks I'm feeling a lot better now. I get atleast 1 more week off work!!! I'm pumped I finally got a nardi wheel, I've wanted one since I had my WRX.

Moshua, the front beetle headrests fit right in, the rears dont. I haven't had any time but I have to figure out how to get them to. I'm going to see if it will fit if I trim down the lip thing, at the bottom of the headrest. I need to measure.

[colinisneat]

Thinking about selling the RS's anyone have suggestions for a new wheel to go after?

[James Himself]

You could keep up the played tend and go with ccw's :p

[drewlegittoquit]

I'm thinking you should go with the wheels you were thinking about, even though it will take a long time to find them.

[CoopaCoopaCoopa]

I wanna see some Bentleys

[colinisneat]

I've always liked LM20s but I'm trying to stay away from wheels everyone has haha. If I would have known how popular RS's were going to be on B5s I would have tried to look for something else.

I wanna see some Bentleys

There are a few Bentley wheels that I like but they're 19s and 20s and those are way too big for my liking.


I have a set I'm interested in but does anyone know if it's expensive or safe to have them shaved to change the offset? The only reason I'd have them shaved is because I would have to use an adapter/spacer and the offsets are too low right now for me to do that without shaving.

[James Himself]

You can't get much from shaving without seriously weakening the wheel, if its only a few mm if say go for it, but for a large amount def not

[colinisneat]

That's what I was thinking. Dang, I might have to try and find this set somewhere else, if I can.

[Frankie b5]

You have any pics of the steering wheel mounted yet?!

[colinisneat]

I haven't done it yet haha. I have everything but I've been out of commission the last 3 weeks because of my surgery. Hopefully soon!!

the conclusion i was brought to a few years ago when i was looking at some brock b1's was that it wasnt a good idea at all

[fbm93]

Brock B1's would be ill on a b5.

Yeah I'm not going to risk the integrity of the wheel. I found a place overseas that rebuilds these wheels and I'm going to shoot them an email. In the mean time I'm going to keep hunting for stuff I like. It's just a bummer because I actually found a set. I just need to unload the RS's.

Brock B1's would be ill on a b5.

Yeah these look sweet!!

[Lazer Viking]

yea.. the set i was looking at was probably one of the only sets in 5x112 anywhere.. but the front had a STUPID low offset

[colinisneat]

Do 9's fit alright up front on our cars? Et 18 and what about a 10 in the rear et18 as well? No interest in pulling fenders. My fronts are rolled.

[colinisneat]

RS's for sale with tires. 1 tire has maybe 100 miles on it, the other 3 have under 1,000. Looking for $2,200 obo with tires. 17x8.5 +39 17x9.5 +45 5x112 hand polished lips and caps, faces and barrels powdercoated vanilla. I need them gone!!! I have the BBS center cap tool and front hubrings as well, included. Spread the word!!
