I'm running 275/35/19 and 245/35/19 - no issues although i have noticed a lot of peeps run the rear on a lower 30 profile to try to balance the look, as the rear are wider and the 35 look bigger as the profile is proportional to the width of the tyre i doubt it makes much difference to the handling or general driving for 99.9% of us

I'm a bit worried about this. Not quite sure what they are trying to say!

They will be pictured next week with my nismo exhaust that my old man has just picked up off ads120584.I think its a nismo exhaust but when I asked my Dad what it looked like,he said "its shiney":surrender: .Won't see it until tomorrow afternoon so will have to wait and see. nismo's are shiney mate, they are polished He also said there are 2 holes where the smoke comes out so that rules out a stainless steel micra exhaust. dads eh ?

It looked like the air con tank but not too sure....either way it would of needed a raditor, coolant tank and alot more than what i was led to beleive... The thing that killed me, the interior was spotless just like it had just rolled out of the show room!!!! Atleast now ive sat in a Z and realise it is the only car for me!!! My Citroen C2 can suck my ass!!!!!!! Trouble is that if you want a yellow zed, your probably going have to pay a lot more. Yeah i know that is the problem!! cheapest one around is about 18K!! Or maybe like someone said by a cheaper one and do a spray job on it. But i dont want a JDM thats what ive decieded and its hard to find uk models with low milage for anythink less than 14k..... Looks like ill be in a waiting game for another opportunity to crop up. But i know the yellow GT4 is unlikely to crop up again!!! unless you fancy writing ures off but please dont tw*t something head on Here is a pic to tied you over As were posting UY pictures: needs spacers and lowering more at the rear and respraying GM
