  1. For a 57 plate vxr that is shocking condition but what a result. I would love to get mine done everytime i see these threads but i have a few stone chips and feel these need to be touched in before a full detail can be done . Again the results are fantastic and i wish i had some knowledge on how to make my car look like this. Well done
  2. I would not worry about what figures you acheived on the rollers. You could always take the popcharger off and take it back and see what difference it makes but imo there are so many factors involved in using these(rollers i mean). Take your figures with a pinch of salt unless you go out and spend huge amounts on your engine and then worry that it is below oem.
  3. I hope you get what you want and soon
  4. Thanks for all the feedback chaps....!!! still loving them
  5. Just ordered my tickets today for a (Saturday), goodwood £48
  6. should look when it's all on !!
  7. for the cost of getting that done just get a good deal on the tyres and do not worry about it rolled arches are a last result imo....
  8. This is a subject that i have never really found the answer so many factors involved. My rear on lowered 30mm eibach's are 2.40 which is slightly out of the tolence range but the chap at the garage said this would be fine.(done on 18" alloys) I now have 19's with a +20 offset and the same for AdrianK if i get a camber kit and bring the wheels into spec they will then rub i am happy with the stance and only time will tell if i have a tyre issue...... OK nearly forgot about the handling, AWESOME
  9. Thats no way to talk about your misses AKA The Hooligan

  16. Hi Nathan, come on mate, your car is crying out for new alloys and to get rid of those problems with your traction ect.... Still have not seen you around the Hanham area
  17. I was almost worried for you until the very end
  18. i like the tractor at the end
  19. Why would you not use a torque wrench if you have one? Overtorquing can be just as bad as under! You want to make sure they are all equal. I do not torque up when i put my wheels on, i just give them a good turn and the spacers i done the same and never have any problems, others use lock tite on there spacers but again why because they do not use that when putting there wheels on. Same difference if you ask me On engine parts i have used a torque wrench everytime as things can be broken if over tighened or fall undo if not tight enough.
  20. I used a thick screw driver on each corner once the wheel was off and put it between/inside the slots on the disc and that stopped them from moving. As for using a torque wrench i never bothered even though i have one. With a good socket set they were not coming off but as others have said after so many miles just double check everything.

    lightweight lug nuts

    I never thought of going for light weight or coloured nuts until i changed my wheels and i am very pleased that the nuts in blue go very well with the Azure colour. Its all about the whole package imo
