    452s are sh*t and redundant now, 453s are allegedly much better and I'd give them a punt. Personally I'd save up another couple of hundred quid and put the MPSS on, which you'll get back anyway as they're far harder wearing than any of the other options as well as giving you more grip and more feel.

    Falken 453's

    I'm sure someone on here got a full set of MPSS for sub £800 the other day...
  3. Not sure where you are, but try http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk/ for a good price. The website is a bit pikey, but they are absolutely superb: They've done numerous sets for me now, including a set of Rays in gloss black for sub-£200 IIRC.
  4. Lol I like that pic, never seen it before
  5. Looks absolutely stunning, however that's about it for me. I'm bored of modern day setting FPS games, they're all exactly the same now. Still, if the next gen is going to look that good, count me in

    What price are the MPSS?
  7. The biggest breaker bar you can get your hands on, in 1/2" drive. At least 1m is preferable. Rubber mallet, for the times you need to give something vaguely breakable a clout. I know you've mentioned spanners, but decent ratchet spanners are a must have (Halfords Pro range are excellent). A 'Big Bertha': A long, thick shafted flat blade screwdriver. Often used more as a lever than as an actual screwdriver.
  8. Speak to the manufacturers, they should have all of these. Well, Falken and Rota will assuming they're TUV approved in the first place, the Nismo kit if original should be possible to get but the air filter is going to be a major struggle: I'd probably just whip it out and put a stock filter back in, or buy a new one with TUV approval.
  9. I don't think you used enough exclamation marks in your first post
  10. It's a sports coupe, not a bloody diesel. It's supposed to have the nuts revved off it! To be honest, if you got 'beaten' by a Transit then there's something seriously wrong with either your car or your driving.
  11. Pop yourself £100 a month away in the bank, by the end of one year you'll have enough to cover all but the worst damage to your car. I didn't bother with the Zed, worst case is a new engine which is roughly £1500 fitted which can be popped on a credit card easily enough if everything else fails.

    P Zeros are gash, too soft and oddly no feel. PSS are the best right now, go forth and purchase
  13. thinking about it should that be who rather than whom ? Either way, I'm going to be desperately disappointed if that person isn't me! I like arguing with stupid people, as you get to tie them up in knots with ease. It's the silence just afterwards too, when everything clicks and they realise for that split second just how stupid they are,
  14. They really are a bargain at the moment, but if you really can't stretch then give the Falken 453 (NOT 452!) a go as they seem to be pretty good value for what they are.
  15. I can't wait for this, hence I'm not spoiling it for myself by watching any trailers as they always show the best bits. Same with Star Trek.
  16. There's a bunch on the BaT website that I'm going to download tonight when I get home, I'll pop some up then There's some quite good ones on there, some decent places to stand at Spa for pics it would seem.
  17. S'okay Ian, I can see what you mean from that pic! Top right corner folks, the chap appears to be rather enjoying the view
  18. One person? Snopes, dear fellow. Always check Snopes first for anything and everything, I humbly apologise if you were offended by my pointing out that what you had posted was a load of old twaddle. In the future, I shall endeavour to let you carry on posting falsehoods simply because they look like they might be plausible. My bad.
