If I want to take the wheels off one at a time and give them a good cleaning, would a scissor jack not be the best thing to use? I'm a total newbie when it comes to things like this! (sorry for the thread jack!) Not the best thing to use, but it would work. But you can get a trolley jack and axle stands from Wickes for next to nothing! £3.66 trolley jack (2 tonne) - http://www.wickes.co.uk/2-Tonne-Light-D ... nvt/190381 £1.71 axel stands (2 tonne) - http://www.wickes.co.uk/2-Tonne-Foldabl ... nvt/190385 They work just fine, I used mine loads of times. The prices have really dropped, the trolley jack was a tenna when I got mine! bloomin heck thats cheap, have to get myself to wicks to get one.

are they higher wattage than the standard bulbs?? are they cheaper than LED's?? mine cost £0 as they came as a free gift extra cos i ordered loads of bulbs. did the whole car. think you only have to spend over £10 to get the free gift

We have these in stock. whats the price you lovely people

There was talk a while ago of being able to supply or source replacement rubber for the PIAA wiper blades. mine are still in good working order and i don't want to replace the whole lot, but my drivers side rubber got damamged in the winter due to me accidently hitting the wiper switch when there was spikey frost on the windscreen. i can see when it rains that i end up with a streaky section where there are gaps in the blade now.

not a bad price, could be alittle lower, but they're not taking the p1ss at that price. i'm never sure with imports how real the milage really is, but i'm a big paranoid sceptic looks good condition. would be worth a look.

i have tried my entry if i'm right is another thing fingers crossed, here's to me owning my first GT40 i'm a big kid at heart

as for hot spotting i do believe the standard LEDs did the same, but due to the colour it wasn't as noticable, also the newer LEDs look like they have a higher brightness output. which would excentuate the hotspotting.

if you go to europe you can change the output of the speed dial above the cubby at a push of a button if i remember correctly. i know hy previous civic did.

Well, there is a video on their website and it shows they pop the tyre off one side and then mask it off and then go under the visible lip. yeah noticed it myself.

Surely you mean incidents or ocurrences, really hope you didn't have accidents on slip roads. Mind you, I've had the same tbh. My excuse is that most slip roads round here are uphill, so I need the extra accelleration to get me up them. Then you notice your doing a speed on the bad side of legal, lol uphill slip roads are like being launched from a cannon

alot of the info needed i just found on their website http://www.wickedwheels.co.uk/index.html they don't fully remove the tyre but they do enough to be able repair kerbing. not sure if they would be able to do a full refurb. i am right in thinking that powder coated wheels will last longer and have a better finish compared to painted ones. if so i'm going to look into power coaters as well.

my dad was looking at using them and i think he said they were about £60 a wheel. he has surface damage to his so i don't know if its just a repair or a whole respray for his wheel.

loving the CRX very old skool and very

enjoy the new wheels, had mine nearly a year and it still makes me smile when i drive it,

i like the GT40 but haven't got a clue

zmanalex might know as well.

i used ultra white 501 bulbs (standard not LED) and they look great, go tthem free when i ordered my bulbs from autobulbs.

everything seems to be working fine now for me. it hadn't for the last week.

nice to see a meet, i'm guessing they had just painted the lines that day as you all have white paint over your tyres.

looks really good.

ok peeps, my tyres are due changing in the near future and i'm think will i change them maybe getting them refurb at the same time, mabe in a different colour. they have bubbled in places and i fancy something likke a gunmetal or shadow chrome, maybe a satin or matt black. just up the road from my parents in hedingham is a wicked wheels van, i've heard positive comments about the one in crawley was wondering if they are good everywhere, or just crawley. do they take the tyres off to do it i.e. they don't mask off the tyre and respray the visible area. do you reckon its possible to do all 4 in one day? my thinknig is it would possibly cost me £50 to have new tyres put on, a refub they'd have to take the tyres off as part of the spray, so why not put new rubber on at the same time? and reinvest the original fitting cost into the refurb instead.

a rear diffuser might go down well

best investment i had was getting my dad to buy a trickle charger and then letting me have it first cost him about £25 from halfrauds, but was great. he needed one anyways for his caravan over winter. as there is a setting on it called top up. so only comes on and stays on while the battery is low. once topped up it goes off. connect it all up plug in and leave over night. and roberts ya mothers brother next morning came down turned ignition and hey presto good as new. i didn't disconnect anything to do it and doesn't put the battery or alternator under any stress. great little investment.

for me the air intake is of no interest as i have K&N typhoon system which has an airbox with a carbon lid. wouldn't be hard to replicate it in carbon instead of the standard metal box
