  1. the pin are just for location, and so you can't put them on upside down
  2. i'm ready
  3. its difficult i suppose, these days, they are either unpainted or just rusty
  4. i use a set of plastic caravan levelling ramps to drive onto to be able to get the car jack under to jack it up to put on axle stands. i hate drive on ramps i always worry about going to far and jamming them under the sills
  5. heat gun to get you started, use a knife to lift the edge enough to get your fingers under, and then prise with fingers, don't use the knife for the whol ejob, as you run a high risk of slipping and scratching paint work. and its held on with very strong adhesive foam tape and 2 pins that fit into locating holes.
  6. actually guys i don't think its going to be needed, just spoke to the big boss man from the touring car team and he said the flat spot was only on the lip, and if heated up should easily tap out, so should be fine for a refurb. fewwww (wipes brow) going to email wheel genie tonight and see what they say.
  7. in my old MR2 roadster i used to be able to tell if i had lost just 1 or 2 PSI as the difference in handling was so noticable.
  8. watching these on the ebay, have you had much interest?
  9. Hi guys, this is a provisional search, my car was in for a service today and the mechanic has pointed out a flat spot on the alloy rim where it has taken a knock, i knew about it when i bought it, and it has always niggled me, but i don't have any wheel judder and the tyre doesn't loose pressure so it doesn't have much effect. was speaking to the mechanic and he says its possible to repair it, but if it was him he'd replace it. so was wondering if any one had 1 front rays wheel to sell, and if so how much. going to cost it up and if it doesn't work out economical after a 4 wheel refurb i might go for those 18" rota grid Drift wheels. just got to work out if my vredesteins will stretch over them as they are a standard tyre setup
  10. get your geo checked out, its not expensive but might save you a few bob in the long run. this isn't a slanging match on your driving skills, and sorry if its comer across that way, but something isn't right either with the brakes, the setup or the driver or a combination of all 3, and it might just require a few minor tweeks in style, braking and setup to make your brakes last longer and to get maximium efficiency and capabilities out of them with out frying the setup. i'd be interested to see an incar video of you on the track,
  11. is that a radical he did it in?
  12. well done with the purchase, glad to see the student loan gets used properly
  13. looks very suttle and sleek, like a vamped up OEM look, good work,
  14. am i right in thinking that you shouldn't add the red mist straight on as it doesn't benefit the wax. i was going to use it next weekend (a fortnight from original waxing) ready for modified live
  15. personally i'd look at getting it wrapped, you'd spend less and can return the car to stock if you want to sell up etc. probably come in at less than the £2000
  16. nice zed , so whats the first mod going to be then
  17. +1 just pull the BT module out, and see if it keeps doing it.

    +1 and with my soon to be fitted nismo kit, i don't want to be grounding out
  19. sorry stew, hadn't realised it was an airsink look bloody similiar. and you could get the same effect with a nismo

    yes but not brilliant for tyre wear
  21. if the others want to join us when we next have a local meet the more the merrier i say i try and organise one every 4 to 6 weeks, but october has modified live, might do one towards the end of the month
  22. precision trimming are very good, just have alook at their stuff, and the price is good from what i remember.
  23. +2 but they painted the central section black, and the lip as well as smoothed out the badge, and removed the number plate.
  24. which club you going with? might see you there
