  1. cheers mate... need to figure out how much space there might be there now
  2. not stretched they're standard 225/245 setup Thought they where from looking at the blurred image above, think its due to the 'ring' thats there gues thats some harder rubber wall compound'y stuff? Or is it the sun... either way thought they looked stretched. Me bad
  3. sweet, not sure re the pink stuff. Deffo get the calipers painted red to lift the red ring around the tyres. Those rubbers looks a bit stretched dont you think?
  4. saved the photo, enhanced it and looked closer ... looks to be: "UiUnder & INVO" stamped on it... a quick websearch gives = sweet feck all...
  5. I think Alex took you for a mug Look much better
  6. Might leave it so, looks awesome as it is
  7. Having some words with the missus in about 10 minutes...
  8. Decided after Stacey joined to go get me some calliper paint and some heat spray (grey aluminium paint) for the discs. Went to Halfords and had a wee look. Picked up 3 brushes (metal) and 1 little tiny brush followed by the grey spray paint and what I thought was blue paint (no green ) since I thought the blue would match nicely with the yellow brake pads the blue tins had a turquoise look on them and wasn't sure if it was blue or not but saw that someone had thought the same as me and opened the lid of the tin I looked at and it looked nicely dark blue! Put that one down (didn't want an open one now did I!), picked up the one next to it (also turquoise blue) and went to the till. Went to my garage around the corner to pick up a new car jack since the one I got from LIDL is busted with a capital B... noticed then that the local motor factors is cheaper on most things compared to Halfords... typical... got a great spin in the Z though (he he) Once home lifted the car and took the wheel off... opened my tin and noticed the inside was red looked at the tin and saw it stated RED... feck they all had turquoise outside and black labels stating the colour inside... ah well I'm going for RED callipers so Here are a few before shots: Here are a few after and during shots: Left it at 3 coats of paint, might do another one tomorrow, was trying to find my platinum shims for my brake pads that I bought for ZMANALEX but to no avail so if I find them tonight I’ll put on a 4th coat on that one. Think it looks smashing considering I did it for starters and that it was very little monies to achieve that look. I'm wondering though it there is something I could do with the internals of the wheel... had a look at it and its seen better days... not a clean would sort it out... could I clean it and then just spray it with the aluminium spray? A (only 3 more to do... )
  9. oh maybe it was 3 and 4 that was a bit chicky flicky so... its getting back to normal death stuff in the 5th one
  10. I'd say go for a spacer/mrev2 and new cats and full exhaust system there are plenty of exhaust systems out there (I'd go custom if I did it again), keep the airbox and get an apexi or hks drop in filter. Then a retune uprev. I never buy a car to sell... mods on!
  11. Half the folk on this site have changed the offset from standard either with spacers or aftermarket rims. Does that make it ok?
  12. makes me wanna take mine out for a spin
  13. Dont tell anyone you wrecked the site earlier Welcome bud!
  14. Where is home? FI means forced induction so either a turbo or a compressor that can 'force induce' air into the engine falls into that category. In the states the TT (Twin Turbo) FI seems to be the most favourable if you aim for an SC (Super Charger = Compressor) the Vortech seems to be the way to go. Myself looking for a somewhat new way of FI a Z (hoping it will fit though...) Stop the fiddle of exterior and make it go faster A
  15. no bad intent meant and no lemur was hurt in posting this post. but its more aimed I thought at shitty call centres...
  16. Welcome here, lol at myself for thinking that you took the photo while someone else was taking a photo of your rays... when in fact you sit on the other side of the car driving and you got a blond bird taking the photo
