  1. I think he means arch gap as in top of tyre to to arch, which offset or 18, 19 will not help with, only lowering. Jonty, rolling diameter stays the same with 18's, 19's or 20's, or should do, to be in line with your current rolling diameter (overall size inc tyre). Basically your tyre profile gets smaller to allow for the extra wheel diameter, so whatever your gain in wheel size, you loose in tyre size. Use this to help you keep near the same: http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html
  2. I would have thought the front would have to be hit for air bags to go off, unless its side ones he meant? Its not on the register either so i guess at least the guy is honest. Any idea what the bits and bobs that need finishing are?
  3. Had a similar problem, a blue elm 327 that works on my Toyota but not my 350z, going to try another at some point.
  4. I would say he would develop better, regardless of playing time, but under a better manager and team mates. In all fairness much of a talent as Ronaldo was, it was Fergie who developed that talent to make him one of the worlds best, imho of course.
  5. Loads of threads re wheel fitment, there is even a sticky at the top of the wheels sub forum with members wheel, tyres, suspension and arch mods specs
  6. I just think there is some very weird wording in there for a 70 year old english man. Auto engineer - Mechanic I have 4 rides to pick from - cars Gas flow headers - manifold Fast and Furious - really? least we forget The Nissan Beast I have asked a sensible question or two (who mapped/tuned etc) but still awaiting a reply.
  7. I was told to be very gifted as a youngster in most sports, my old head master player for Rangers and i was told if you want to be professional, you can. We are talking 30 + years ago though, but, i was also told, if you want to be a professional footballer and earn decent money (obviously very different to todays earnings), football is not the one as you will have to be in the top 1 or 2%. If you want to earn money as a sportsman, go play golf, you can earn very good money without being anywhere near the top. So i am waffling, but its very easy to sit here as keen amateur sportsmen and say, i would love to play "sport" for a living and would go play it for "x" a year but in reality i think it would be very different, especially as with the topic you are perhaps over hyped and made to believe you are better than your are and can earn "x" or be part of a trophy winning team, especially at early twenties, i wouldnt have trusted myself to sit the right way round on a toilet at that age, let alone make life changing career decisions
  8. So how does either of the above explain Rooney asking to leave Utd, more money offered and he stays and sure he his not the only example. Sure they love the game, but money drives them, how many top flight premier league players would leave their respective clubs where they might be regular on the bench @ lets say £25k a week to go and play regularly for £25k a year, medals or no medals.
  9. Guess he means si http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/page.php?id=30148
  10. Apparently so
  11. Anyone from here, the advert seems a little "curious" http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350z-/271877182774?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4d249536
  12. 245's would be my choice as i like a little stretch, but 255;s are fine.
  13. Thats an interesting R32 Quite a few on here running 10" fronts
  14. I wouldnt agree, but thats just a personal opinion. As above with both of them. If they were in any other recognised footballing country they wouldnt get in the national squad. On topic though, its just money (mostly) & glory, plain and simple. I would doubt Sterling (particularly) or Rooney give a flying .... whether they play regular football, they just want money and to be part of a winning team. Rooney is a slightly different case as he seems to spit his dummy out if he isnt number 1 or thinks he is number 1. I often watch a team celebrating a trophy and there is some random who has sat on the bench all season or been injured jumping around with the rest of the team. Still has a medal and part of a winning team to his name though and a vast bank balance.
  15. Didnt hurt Rooney moving from Everton, all comes down to the individual i guess, if he goes to a Chelsea, Man City, Man U etc and plays well, its all history and the move will be justified
  16. Agreed, but then hindsight is a wonderful thing, what about if he gets injured next season at Liverpool and its career ending, make the money now and worry later. I would imagine the plan is to push his career and earnings, status etc and that probably isnt going to happen at Liverpool. Not saying its right, just the way it is. Man Utd was critical to Ronaldo, who knows what would have happened if he hadnt made that move.
  17. Or does the agent consider that his job is to get Sterling into the "best" team and so increase the players earnings, future transfers and subsequently his commission?
  18. Is this not the same as Rooney threatening to leave Utd a few years back, until he got offered a vast pay rise, all about the money and nothing else imho, no matter what is said. There seems to be delusions of grandeur with English talent.
  19. I like the concept and if you have a car thats of high value, I.e a 370 like Keyser, Paralello, or a Gtr for example, thats probably going to devalue it by spraying it a bold colour it makes sense. I think I would struggle to pay £1500 plus for something temporary on a car only worth a few grand though. I would also have an irrational thought, whats the wrap hiding, on an older car if i was looking to buy, unless of course its a colour you just cant get with paint.
  20. I think Alex says it best at the bottom of that post, I would doubt there is 1 person ever who has had a claim refused because they have ds2500 pads out of the millions sold. Great pad thoroughly recommended
  21. Been thinking of a change myself and in the same boat, very tricky really, easily got a £3000 of parts, exhaust, berks hfc's, eibach anti roll bars, nismo s tune shocks, 19's etc, but some of those parts make it look nicer so will aid the sale, decisions, decisions
  22. You dont think the Diablo was wild 15 years ago when it was realeased? The Sesto Elemento is no longer in production, same as the Veneno, of which only 9 were made costing 3 million and the Egoista is just a concept. The Hurucan and Asterion do not look mad in my opinion.

    I think that looks awesome
  24. Ironically i have just read this, which kind of explains the Lambo philosophy http://www.pistonheads.com/regulars/blog/raging-bull-ph-blog/32210
