Been filling
I was thinking the same when i did mine, but was advised that it ws best not too. One reason is the MOT examiner needs access to the sills and two expandable foam will soak up water and eventually rot the sills.

Which Cam Belt?
I had originally a blueprint cambelt. When an A/B was done with the Blueprint and OEM, the blueprint is slightly out a tooth, which obviously affects the timing and ultimately running, so for £50 -ish i would get a Nissan cambelt from MJP

New rear reflectors in
Looking good Dave. You run the feed to the number plate light and they will come on with your side lights. Graham

I've been run over
I agree with all the above, what if she had put you in hospital or worse, would the police do anything then? I thought driving licenses were only valid till you were 70, then you would need a retest, she may not even be legal. Definitely persue it, sue her and the police, its a disgrace.

99 spec lights ebay USA any good
There are a few members who have bought those lights and although look good, there is a slight fitment issue. They dont sit flush with the bodywork above the bumper, even with some shaving here and there, you can still feel a lip. Visually from the rear you wouldnt notice much in it, but for price, good value. Take a look at some rides with them fitted. Yassa, ianl, jamiett to name but a few. HTH

Nexen 8000 tyres v Falken 452
I have Falkens on the rear, so no grip problems. I agree, i have never scrimped on my tyres. Had Pirelli P zero's all round before i got the Falkens on the rear and when the car is resprayed and the new engine and box in, it will again have Falkens on the front, but for running around day to day for now, the Nexens on the front are fine.

Nexen 8000 tyres v Falken 452
The tracking was out mostly on the drivers side, looking at the tyre, it looked fine until you saw the inner edge, which was down to the thread, i didnt notice it till i got under the car though. No camber or toe done , just the track rods. I havent got anything adjustable on the suspension yet, although its slightly lower than stock with Eibach springs. The other bonus with this guy, is he refurbs alloy wheels. Showed me around the workshop, has a sand blasting machine, with the ultra fine sand and a spray booth, just for wheels. He can get mine looking like brand new for £65 a corner, bargain.

Nexen 8000 tyres v Falken 452
Had them fitted today and had the tracking done too. A big difference in handling, mainly down to tracking being out previously. I used to get some bump steer and over uneven road pull, but im happy with the way it handles now, tyres seem fine, but havent pushed it yet/

99spec front bumper
Mine had, so replaced the support bar, but one of the legs on the chassis is slightly bent, so might not have helped the fitment. Will sort it properly one day, but for now, it fits lol

99spec front bumper
I had to take the support bar off. Got rid of my fogs anyway, so wasnt an issue there, although some would say its there to help with impact, but it wouldnt fit with it on. It catches where the fog housing of the support bar is, it doesnt quite fit snug inside the partition bar of the bumper, between the indicator and fog. I might try shaving that area, but needed the bumper on at the time without the hassle, so left it off for now.

Some new pics with my springs fitted & new number plate :-)

Nexen 8000 tyres v Falken 452
Cheers Paul, seems a good review. Looking at some other car forum reviews, like scooby, ford etc.. some folks seem to think they last longer than Falkens, but time will tell. I will let you know how they go.
