    Spacers

    Knowing near to nothing about spacers, whats the reasoning for them? Just to push the wheel out a bit more? Are they still safe on road? (on track it seems the majority dislike them)
  2. How do you know when it needs replaced?
  3. I dont mind it... Just looks a bit too evil for a road car lol
  4. Looks like it could be the end of my d.i.y vinyl, just spen 5hours on rearbumper myself, its nails, main problems were the inden for liscence plate stretching far enough, and that sorta messed up the rest
  5. yeah its came out alot bettrr than i expected. car will be a bit of a marmite car, alot of things people arent a fan of. in yout face colour, tyre paint, vinyl graphics of whats in the car (to be put on rear fenders), and full 2 tone when get nismo kit
  6. I think the spoiler looks cool, on a track.
  7. i have nowhere to put it on to stay in place, as ive gotta pull the vinyl back, the bumper would jist move outta place
  8. Orange looks wicked. Big fan of in your face colours. Bit accident prone with zed though lol
  9. Ive got (what i think) is same problem, sort of a clicking into place noise coming from rear of car when turning steering wheel. Same thing?
  10. I didnt keep engine on long enough to know if it was increasing much,but it wasnt decreasing. It happening once then working on restart aint something to worry bout is it? Im only guessing about speed and revs as electronics are down atm so just on base driving.
  11. Haha oh dont make me think about that, ive already looked into taking bumper off and it looks complicated. The plan for front bumper is: Remove bumper Take off headlight washers Take off reflectors Take out headlamps Refit bumper Vinyl it Then take bumper off and fit it all back on lol (althouh thinking black vinyl over he reflectors
  12. Nah im carbon fibre wrapping it and putting an electric air duct into it.... Seems to be coming out alright for me doing it myself, few bits i need to redo though :/ crease on bumper and crease on boot. Need to find a way to get that spoiler off. I think its been off before and someone has stuck the middle of spoiler on, aswell as the sides, cus i just cant pull it off or get to middle as bolts are in the way
  13. Done something i shouldnt, turned car on then put foot down on a straight beforqe it warmed up (obv bad and brain never clocked in properly), anyway, when i changed to second and put foot down there was no acceleration. Car just stayed at 30mph. Turned car off, turned on , let it warm up, then it worked fine. Im guessing its somethng the computer does to stop you blowing engine? Or did my car just go bit dodgy
  14. Ferrari driver was killed, taxi driver and their passenger was killed. But the passenger in ferrari survived
  15. http://www.gtspirit.com/2012/08/08/vide ... e-highway/ No idea why the guy in the car was recording
  16. Gonna have to agree with the last one, he obviously knows his aerodynamics and wants to keep the car stickingbto the road at 26.9mph Hes done an excellant job with fitting front bumper
  17. Just to get few more opinions, the car keeps needing jump started every few days, is that battery issue or is it the shortcircuiting causing it to drain
  18. Price dropped to 50pound for both
  19. ST badges on a diesel focus
  20. Mr2 with ferrari body kit
  21. I think this is the most likely place to post this. Anyone have an ipad and been able to find something to create sigs? Seems applehave limited it so much that its useless
  22. Might be time to just realise im gna get beat by people with less superior looking cars but have cash ah well, got a few tips from this topic and made myself look like a proper car retard lol. Ill stick to vinyl wrapping til i can learn more before posting up these topics
  23. Ive just changed pads to yellow stuff but the previous pads still seem to have alot of usage in them, the reason i changed them was because the car brakes didnt work at all when braking at 70. Not tried it yet as cant drive car atm, but is it fair to say its because the old brakes were cheap ones and they heat up too fast? Or could it be due to the brake fluid? Discs look fine
