  1. chargespeed do one too - theres one going on my car atm
  2. They look like BBS LM's, perhaps the mightiest wheel in the world ever. Difficult to tell from that pic though. The one below shows em off betterer. The Rota "interpretation" is the GTLM, which seeing as a decent set of secondhand LMs is £1500+ might be worth considering

    Camber Q's

    Do you go through tyres pretty quickly too? Bet they dont wear down evenly! PS2s dont last more than 4-5k miles anyway....cant get any worse! Wanna bet? 8 sets of rears in 13 months. Docwra, part time drifter

    Good hassling guys This might help for your argument Cant remember what my question was now though

    Camber Q's

    At least that will match the rears then How much is quite high?? What are your wheel specs too if you dont mind me asking
  6. Another one for spacers here - just dont let your missus drive the car and you'll be fine

    Camber Q's

    Nice one - looks like its the upper wishbone that camber adjusts off of. Phil @ Archenemy is a mate of mine and Paul/Pablo was at my house about 3 weeks ago donig the arches on my Onevia - I highly recommend both of them

    Camber Q's

    I test fitted my new wheels last night and due to the enormous front caliper and stupid wheels its lookign like Im going to need a 20mm spacer just to clear the brakes. This will leave my wheels (at least at the front) sticking out rather a lot, so it looks like me old mate camber is going to have to enter the room. As I understand it, the Z33 has a double wishbone setup at the front, but which wishbone would a camber arm attach to? Also, is 2.5 degrees of camber realistic on a Zed, or do higher levels knacker up the handling?? Finally, has anyone had any major archwork done, and got pics of the outcome? I really want to fit these rims but its a bit touch and go atm
  9. I wouldnt say that are that rare, but compared to Boxsters and defnitely TT's you see less of them. I find mine gets a lot of attention in France mind you - they dont seem to know what it is
  10. Ive known a few people use them as track wheels, and of course the JDM standard wheel was a 17 You never know ..........
  11. Time has come to let a few sets of wheels go and first on the block are these babys. Blitz Type 03 are now discontinued I believe, and a set in good fitments like these are absolute rocking horse - we have a 9Jx17 ET15 F, and 10Jx17 ET15 R. Being JDM they are strong and light, and all the girls will love you for running them* Pretty much in mint condition, Im only selling them as they are too good to drift on. I got them when I bought the Onevia, but as you can see they look lovely on S13's as well - I cant find any pics of them on Z33's unfortunately. Currently wearing brand new Pirelli P-Zero Corsa track tyres, Im looking for £1000 for these - you wont find another set like em, so well worth it IMO. Excuse the rubbish phone pics - Ill buy a camera with the proceeds of sale On Onevia: Proper fitment: On WillG's S13 (thanks for lend Will ) * may not be true.
  12. Could have been a little more imaginative on the name of the first ones though dont you think Ben?? What widths/offsets can you do the LM's in??
  13. I have a lot of business in Scandinavia so go out there quite a lot. Swedish girls are gorgeous, but the Danish girls are gorgeous and incredibly approachable. Weve just picked up work in Finland as well ............. Oh, and that Swedish club? Pictures dont do it justice
  14. 3.50 to 6.10. Theres a lot of pics of her online .......... I strongly recommend a google image search though. Not at work, not in front of the missus, but you wont regret it
  15. sure it was your tongue? If it was anything else I think the missus would have detached it. I had to wear sunglasses so she couldnt see me perving as it was D Oooh bugger thats torn it - just google image'd her. Ill be back in 20 minutes lads.
  16. Anyone else get a text at about 20:10 last night inviting them to a wife swapping party?? Thought it was fairly good, but cant see how the Beemer is the one to buy (although I think its much nicer looking too) The glamour girl just had my tongue hanging out for most of the time she was on screen.
  17. Le Mans spec from last year. It looks rather more bent now
  18. The rims are lacquered I think but you'll find most polished wheels are - the ones that are just metal are impossible to use in winter. I use Autoglym professional wheel cleaner - you dont want to be using it too often but its amazing for getting road shyte off.
  19. Nice to see a man who has clearly done his reasearch before buying The price on the barracudas sounds good to me - you probably already know that a set of VS-XX are a lot more than that, and if you prefer the style its a no brainer. I wouldnt worry too much about the polished lip - as long as you dont neglect them too badly you should be OK - I run Gram Lights with polished lips and even though they go like this: in the depth of winter, with a bit of love they come back to this: You sound like your mind is made up, but Id also have a quick check of http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/pages/wheels_billet.html Image wheels - custom made so you can specify offsets, widths, fittings, lip style - everything. You can also buy one replacement if you happen to hit a very solid rabbit or something Billet 102 looks rather familiar, dont you think??
  20. Not really familiar with them but the style reminds me of a Work VS-XX: Offsets/widths are good - what colour are you going for?? :nod:
  21. "Lateral forces could rip the tyre off the rim"?? Yarp - we dont go sideways at all when drifting, and when we do the tyres ALWAYS fly off the rim ......... Its the usual scaremongering without real life experience - look up "welded diff" as well As for rims needing protecting, Id argue that if you can actually drive then you can actually avoid kerbs
  22. Weird - I could see it. Edited now
  23. I know what Id do ........ but you have already ruled that out Id imagine you can stick it in the oil bins they have at landfill/dump sites
  24. Until recently is was my my practical car MR2 Roadster here too
  25. My local dealer is Marshall in Cambridge and they say its no problem to arrange a test drive. They are also a GTR dealer I had a look at one the other day and thought the interior was streets ahead of the Z33, but wasnt taken by the rest of it really. Wheels are poor, frankly - weak offsets, large arch gaps and not a great design IMO, and it seems to have lost a lot of the simplicity of design of the Z33, which is what drew me to it in the first place. Ill be taking one for a run soon and will report back, but cant see myself liking it as much as the Z33
