  1. With light it's difficult as the shades affect it loads. It's what Peugeot and audi do for their red rear lights. There's a green filter just behind the red light casing.
  2. You only have yourself to blame! Stop doing such a good job if you want less work
  3. Put a green bulb in and it will shine through the red as orange
  4. Plenty! Theres some of better quality too. I think tarmac can get them in polyurethane unlike the nismo originals which are fibreglass.
  5. Hate to tell you this bud, but the "real" stuff is fibreglass too
  6. When I was at merc world I got to steward for the powered by mercedes event and the cars were passing a few feet away from me at full chat. I stupidly thought it would be cool to remove my mandatory ear plugs, it was fantastic, yet painful! So I do agree with you on how amazing they sound
  7. Unless like me they had the bumper fitted aftermarket and didn't have the headlight washers transferred over. Or they had the brembos added afterwards.
  8. Gunmetal, rays wheels, nismo V1 body kit (Front bumper and side skirts at least), pre 2006, probably uk car. Alezan leather seats so heated with electric movement. Brembo brakes. Matte roof, wing mirrors and pillars, probably vinyl wrap.
  9. 10/4 on that. The part is also reliant on the pattern being correct,and fitting. If the original part the mould is taken from is rubbish,then it all just gets exaggerated when your making the parts from the mould. Its all down to quality of workmanship and care and attention to detail. Dont even get me started on carbon products! The amount I've spent on carbon which could go in the bin makes me angry thinking about it. Start carbon rant: Stuff which looks amazing new, and then after a few months the resin starts to go funny because it's cheap, and then when you see edges which have been filled with resin to make it the correct shape and they only become visible after a little bit. Proper pre preg carbon is safer, but waaay more expensive and few people use it. End rant.
  10. They erm, had a disagreement of the internet variety and had a forced 14 day hiatus from the forum
  11. Welcome back What did you do whilst you were.... "Off the forum" and "outside"
  12. This is a very good site: http://www.willtheyfit.com/
  13. A quick google search will also tell you that pretty much all wheels are round, not square, regardless of whether they're Rays or not TiN TiN - Have you found a car then? Or just looking at wheels in anitcipation? I've found one I'm going to see tomorrow. If I like, I'll buy but I don't like the standard wheels on it so definitely gonna be looking to get different ones.. Think I've got a lot to learn about wheels first :-/ This is what you're looking at for standards, you will want something with the same or lower offset (ET) and the same or higher alloy width (J) The tyre sizes will then either stay the same or change accordingly. Front Size: 18" x 8.0" Offset (ET) : + 30 mm Tyre: 225/45/18 Rear Size: 18" x 8.5"(J) Offset (ET): + 33 mm Tyre: 245/45/18 Hopefully this redeems my doushebaggery
  14. A quick google search will also tell you that pretty much all wheels are round, not square, regardless of whether they're Rays or not TiN TiN - Have you found a car then? Or just looking at wheels in anitcipation? THAT'S why the car rides so badly and I need so many revs to get it moving
  15. There are certain cars it's hard to get well fitting kits for, the MK4 supra is one, I've seen SO many with badly fitting front bumpers, mostly around the headlights. On the 350 as well it seems to be around the headlights a good kit sets itself apart from the bad ones.
  16. Alright smartypants, what does 'ET' actually stand for, and what does the 'J' refer to? ET, whilst I'm not sure on the actual meaning of the letters themselves, is the offset of the wheel ie how close to the centre line of the alloy the mounting face is and the J is the width of the alloy itself. It's not the fact that these weren't known, as everyone has to start somewhere, but a 30 second google would have probably provided the information far more quickly. Edit: Also, I wasn't actually meaning it was that much of a fail, I just thought it was cool he was lord Zedd
  17. When going 30 it will say you're going 28.893mph. A 40 profile on the rear will put the speedo out by -3.69% so not a huge amount at all. T/C will kick in a lot more. No it won't. A staggered set up means that as the fronts are narrower, they instinctively want to stay there, in the front. It's designed so that any billy can drive the car safely. Bearing in mind that if you don't have rays alloys you have a square set up anyway, I don't think it's going to affect the tcs, abs or any other safety system at all.
  18. They got your name wrong! It doesn't say " To Suits" it says some other name! Oh and Happy Birthday, looks like they know your breakfast habits well
  19. Happy birthday Mr Suits! Get the birthday breakfast up then!
