    Varrstoens are on

    in Wheels

    Posted

    Finally got round to fitting my Varrtoens.Big thanks to Peter at Varrstoen who has been excellent to deal with. They are the ES1.1.2 19x9.5 et12, 19x11 et22, 245/35 and 265/35 Conti sports 3 tyres. No spacers, no arch rolling and no rubbing.

     

    Where did you buy yours from Bry?

    Headlight Restoration

    i've used the plastx from megs and it is good, but if you want rid of the scratches then wet and dry is the only way forward, it does scare the crap out of you when you start, but when you do the final polishing stages all is good and panic over.

     

    i use the technique alot in my workshop. and it works every time. patience is the key and proper prep work, if you rush the stages you get a half baked attempt, if you do it properly you can get a better finish that when it came from the manufacturer.

     

    I think I will try the wet/dry technique at some point...preferably when the rain isnt lashing down as it is here at the moment :cold: ' the problem with living on a Farm is that you constantly get *hit high just coming in and out of the drive in this weather :thumbdown:

    Hi All,

     

    As a total Greenie to doing ANY work on a car...I am going to attempt to restore my misty headlight lenses today...is it as easy as this video suggests? :scare:

     

    Could someone please help me with adding the above video :surrender:

    Performance Difference Between 18 & 19" rims (vid)

    in 350Z General

    Unless you're tracking the car I think It makes little to no difference anyway. People always go on about the sheer weight of 19" wheels with the perception of 'Atlas' lifting them above his head "WARRR"!

     

    Go 19" Ian, you know you want to!! :evil:

     

    If it makes you feel any better, the handling on my 19" feels better than the 18" with spacers, much more confident to chuck it into a corner!

     

    Thanks Ruddles! :clap: You just helped me decide...19" it is!! :yahoo::drive1

    Government Benefit reforms?

    why do we give them money in the first place, why not food vouchers valid in supermarkets etc, and then a small amount of cash to suppliment any other important requirements. but to be honest there isn't much you can;t buy in tesco. or sainsburys etc these days.

     

    and the vouchers should be invalid if you try and by things like fags and booze. they are after all a luxury not a life requirment.

     

    I totally agree! :thumbs: Admittedly there are many who don't abuse the system ( one can only hope ) but talking to the yobs that my daughter sadly associates with :blush: ...they are very pleased with themselves that they still have a social life, smoke...including weed...plus have a roof over their heads...for doing *ugger all!! What ever happened to self respect and ambition! :rant::angry: ....I'm climbing down off of my soapbox now...getting dizzy :D
