  4. not a bad idea.. will the lacquer take the heat from the callipers though? FECKING succes finally after over 8 hours of looking I found my shims! to late now to even start thinking about getting my hands on the car... everywhere is a mess, looks like someone came in and robbed the house... 3 TIMES!
  5. Hi guys, watching an item on the fleebay and I really would like to get my hands on it only snag is that I'm not allowed to bid on it It's UK bidding only for some strange reason the seller is unwilling to post to EIRE let alone let me in on the bidding, unless my last email convinced him otherwise. Anyhow, I need some help on bidding for this item and shipping it after win to me in Ireland. Anyone out there willing to lend us a hand... or more so a Ebay account Please PM me. I'd transfer any monies needed prior to the auction. (this is NOT a scam...) Cheers A (all will be revealed after the auction on what it is I'm looking for...) (hmm note to self, by writing 'it's not a scam' it might be looked upon as one..)
  6. Good man... used information from forum gossip with pretty good success in the past... not sure it's legal to spread them though!

  8. Is this affecting things at all? http://abcnews.go.com/Business/w​ireStory?id=10380019
  9. Just make sure they are same length runners and you should be ok
  10. Now. Should I do a bumper tuck to show off the stainless steel back box?? hmm saw that on MrMartinGrant's one, looks pretty cool: black mirrors and black satin painted roof with blacked out windows would look SOOOO cool too!
  11. There a bit lame... Again better then this guy...
  12. Don't know anything about spreadbetting. Sorry. I also know NOTHING about shares other than what I've read on forums over last 12 months. It's a bit of luck and intuition I suppose and maybe picking markets (property for instance) that I know a little about. PS - MERE up 14% in last 48 hours. News of the Zurich building may have been leaked to traders but nothing released to the stock market yet. Lots of talk of 200 price (currently 131) within 12 months but again, it could be 50 and you lose thousands. thats it, if you understand gain and loss and then bundle in a bit of risk there you know that you can loose but also win. At least you make your own decision instead of some junior handling your fund monies... Fair play to you What forum do you use?

    De-Cat or not !!

    HFC's in favour of decats.. not saying that because I've got a pair but it's a pain to swap over when you MOT/NCT the car unless you get decats and cut a pipe further down your exhaust and get two cats further down that's easy to swap out I wouldn't do it. I'm going to be faced with some painful decision soon on how to get around that myself soon enough.
  14. 72% I need to start my spreadbetting soon Need some advice on how to do it as safe as possible though... have been burnt by the bloody 'hit warrants' a 10 year ago...
  15. just said that so he'd come on and let me know how he's getting on He was talking about getting a different pulley to lower the boost more to save petrol from what I could understand Didn't actually hear the mechanicals of the vortech yet.. still waiting for some vids
  16. It is unfair to say you will have to put up with the slight rubbing Simon To achieve the stunning look you have now, i advised on the most aggressive wheel offset of the choices you had, tyre width and tyre profile and they look super cool on your zed as everyone who has seen them says . I disagree with going for the 30mm offset and using spacers Spacers should be used as a last resort rather a substitute for proper fitting wheels and anyway 30 would have been too far in still. i have always maintained between 15-25 depending on the tyres is usually perfect but you can go for super aggresive if you are prepared to be flexible in making things fit Going for smaller width will not give you the same matched sidewall height between front and rear and cost way more than the fix required The rubing issues is only a few millimeteres in it as is evident with barely a mark on the tyres and there are two solutions to get rid of it. Roll the arches or get adjustable camber arms and dial more neg camber you will only need to go in by .25 or .5 of a degree to eliminate the rubbing and at the sametime improve rear end grip. Rolled arches donot cause rusting unless you have rust in your arches already However, I would prefer the adjustable arms solution as it also future proofs you in case lower the car on at a later date Sorry if you thought that was criticism of you Bennett - it wasn't. You spent a lot of time advising me on wheels/tyres etc. but I checked with nrenz123 before I pressed the buy button. He has the identical Rota Torque set up but with no rubbing. So it's his fault. Does nrenz123 have a JDM to? If you both are on standard spring setup and his is UK its going to be softer then yours from factory... It'll rub until there is no rubbing left to do so that'll be fine Can you not adjust the camber a bit? Hopefully it will be the correct adjustment too so you don't wear the inside of the tyres quicker... If you want to sell the wheels give me a shout I think the guy that sold you the set should fix it for you free of charge (no matter that you almost got him divorced earlier! ) She's looking good though
  17. black would get lost in my opinion. Take some more photos of the colouring of the bolts and Z please... it does look pinky pink from where I'm sitting.
  18. nice thumb after I did the caliper... a bit diiirty...
