if you type in my size of tyre on the tinternet then unfoetunatly you dont have a vast choice , most do only give you one to three choices at best so i went for these what you said, i have seen them on a skyline the other day and they did look nice. he the bloke worked in a tyre place and he swore buy them ,so thats good enough for me. a tyre man who razes around in a skyline , given all that there on route 275 an all, cheers all

tyres. peoples that are running with
whitch is my point you say you buy premium tyre and dont look at the grades well this is what im saying.who says that the premium payout makes that the better choice. what im asking is . why pay 150 180 quid for a tre when a tyre that has the same wet and noise and speed and wear rating for a lesser 80 pound tyre. dont get me wrong im all out for safety i norm run toyo t1 sport, but there is a diff now of nearly400 quid for my norm ones, and the other tyres claimming the same thing

tyres. peoples that are running with
peoples that are running with 275 on the rears, what brand have you got, because im torn again with the fact that there are some brands out there that say they are cat b and c and run this noise then i look at another with the same spec but only 70 plus pounds diff in price per corner.

the loom on this will be soldered thus the soildering iron also in the pic and the tape isnt norm black tape its the proper stuff they use so it dosnt put glue everywere when old and hot, proper tape , proper soldering, proper hidden apart from the driver proper job, but yes i wi;; loose the map light, but like i have said before ,i never use them, and thats the first thing i turned off when i got the car. so good alround place to fit.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83096[/ATTACH This must be the most easy for vision and acess to the unit and the best bit its going to be semi hidden from sight.you will not be able to see it from passenger side and only just see it from the drivers side.and with easy use.good a.this way i dont have a nasty little black box stuck to the centre consil or out of reach in the glove box.cool a. Once fin tomorow ill put up pic..i just run out of light.beer time]

one for the sparkies out there
So here we are .as well some of you know i couldnt help myself and bought me a bee r rev limitter.all good.but i dont want it in the boot.but also dont want it stuck on my centre concole or elsewere where it looks like crap and spoils the interia either.now ive found an exellent place for it but for now need to know. Because of were i want it im going to have to extent the loom somw length.my question to the sparkies out there is.is the wire ive bought from maplin thr right stuff ampage wise so that i can make longer.it seems about the same thickness or do i need to go thicker cas of voltage drop.

vids smoking engine after being layed up for 8 months
DO YOU HAVE sorry a balence bar were the exhaust join up ,or are they compleatly separate like my old car, and you now said also no smoke when cold so almost will not be any wires bad connections then, but then smokes once warm on idel. then through both rear ends. i bet your exhaust joins up underneath.
