  1. whats your budget, i'm about to fit a new unit in mine. don't know if it will be in by the meet though. need to bribe BM to come and help me
  2. how about next time he leaves his work station, load up meat spin on his computer and then let the boss know your colleague has been viewing inappropriate images on the web or just leave it running in the office and everyone in the office will think he's a bit gay
  3. i think there was something on this site about using RSS feeds
  4. is that his "i've upset a mod" trophy polishing it ready to go on his mantle piece
  5. a lot for the time your location plays a big part in the final cost. some areas are more expensive than others. BJV engineering are the cheapest i've come across, if you can be without wheels for a week and send them to them they'll do it for about £160. or i think £190 if you drive down for the day, but i worked out for me that with petrol etc it would cost more than going to my local place.
  6. as for welded diffs they have there purpose i suppose but thats mainly for drifters and not a scene i really have much interest in. i appreciate it for what it is, but wouldn't do it to my car, i prefer a more track orientated car. one worry i'd have with running stretched rubber is that the rims look so exposed and vulnerable to curbs etc. and as my car is my daily driver i couldn't cope with that.
  7. not good, you'll need to bill the body shop to get a leather trimmer to fix that.
  8. if chips away are anything like most of the other franchise people your looking at about £75 per wheel before tax. i did mine last week in satin black, used a powdercoater close to me and got it for £210.
  9. any one driving a car properly (i don't mean that in a derogatory manner) i.e. a grip racer will surely be pushing the tyres harder than a drifter. as the tyre sidewall is actually having to take all the lateral G and the weight of the car round the corner. a drifter in its very nature is no longer in grip so the lateral G on the tyre is greatly reduce as its not actually gripping. your just wearing the rubber away quicker. as you glide across the tarmac. if thats what you want to do then thats up to you, but the tyre was never designed to be used like that. it is therefore not performing to its maximum potential. it may be a great setup for a drifter, but i wouldn't trust that setup for road use.
  10. must admit that with my rim protectors on i've ended up with a similar look just without the lowering and the big alloys and the mental camber
  11. can't beat a traffic light grandprix
  12. lee's price has been 325 for ages, those that bought at £350 should have shopped around
  13. that was funny, i can't believe the stupidity of some people
  14. wow its like xmas and birthdays all rolled into one
  15. i got alot of stuff 2nd hand so my mods happened as stuff came up on the forum. the wheel option is another good idea
  16. who you bunching in the strange bracket with you? i'm completely normal, its just pimm whos the weirdo
  17. thats exactly the point, and one i've made several times before. also what people forget is that the loss in BHP is not across the whole rev range but only right at the very top end.
  18. i'm short compared to people who are over 6 foot which for some unlucky reason included most people in my old boxing club not only that but because of my weight cough 17 stone cough cough, i end up sparring with the really big mutha pluckers and they were all built like king kong and referenced to everyone as bubba
