Harro, sucky sucky 5 dorrar?

There's an MG ZS round the corner...

This was on the mighty car mods Facebook page can one of the mods fix the link please, can't do images properly on my phone, thanks

i got 16x9 ET20 on mine if that helps in any way? did you want any camber etc? you've also got to think about how much room you will have on the inside of the arch aswel. use this site to check the difference between current wheels and new wheels. it helped me http://www.willtheyfit.com/

I think I'm staying out of it, got nothing on these guys!

Ok so I am getting a bit bored of my alloys. .I have been trying to find another set as the 15 inch Toyota mr2 ones I bought didn't fit and I don't know what to do with them so for now I have started refurbing my Momos Used nitromors but all the paint didn't come off so I used wire wool first and then a scraper Cleaned up as much as I could and then sanded and ready for primer More will follow once I have finished all of them

Great job on lowering mate and definitely 17s will make her look even more awesome. . Those rotas look nice but why don't you go for some deep dish bling alloys

good!!! torrent machine ready

improvement in rigidity, Fast turn in feels much better and front end feels alot more solid, going over speed bumps certain creaks no longer there, defo noticeable difference

I can imagine that will look f**kin awesome! I think Dinochips had a big effect on us

More stickerbombing!

I like Grid V's. A victim of their own success. They look wonderful on almost any car. imo, the edit above is a couple to a few inches too big. I think you should slap on some 16x8s and sink it down on coilovers

woop woop now I get a chance to get back online properly ive now a VIP yes also cars on the repair as I think my led lights could be a connection as they now flicker the rust is treated and now just needs rubbing down to blend the colour

Don't forget to put your spark plug seals in too, when you swap the covers.

A very useful tool. For comparison i've got 17x8.5 ET37 with 195/40 rubber in the rear. No arch roll, and they fit with no rub. Barely. But go for 9's if you can! The front will be interesting, though.

Tom, you missed Kyfer's.

Just realized I haven't made a proper list! Lowering - half done MGZS spoiler - done VTi-S skirts - done Steering wheel - done Front lower strut brace - done VTi / VTI-S interior - done Stuff to do this year with some big changes USDM light mod Engine dressing D16Y8 head-swap P28 ECU New head bolts, head-gasket, water pump etc etc K&N drop in panel filter 4-2-1 manifold or custom uneven length manifold Full custom cat-back system Front top strut brace Rear top strut brace Aaaaaaand,,, short shifter along with a new gear-knob

Engine harness work done Vtec sub harness done H22A test fit

The car wieghs 1280kg with all the daily driving gumf ,sub/some fuel/spare wheel etc, so with that removed getting close to 1250kg. So good power to weight. Considering a BMW of a similar spec will be 1500kg to put that in to perspective.

Didn't realise what my odometer was at when I got home earlier. So of course I had to take it round the block. Milestone reached!

I would recomend a new gasket they're cheep enough thats i did wen i did mine but only use oem for peace of mind if anything

Slips in Matt black would look mean on Ruby but not so sure with a polished lip?

F1 is boring, stopped watching it about 10 years ago.....

I used too have a volvo 850t5 n it was awesome mine was an ex police car n it made 284bhp on the rollers but i wrote it off in the snow which was a bummer

Just figured out I can get them both for £21 after 30% euro carparts discount, so I might just go for it.

OEM from John Banks Honda will cost you around £55 for the two so that's a decent saving.

Fixed.

Making a quick list of things that I want done before Japfest. - Black surround headlights - Mesh grill - Dechrome - Cat-back exhaust - Audio - A bloody good clean and polish!! I'd love to have lows but I don't think I can afford Meisters so soon, maybe in time for Japfest2.

To be honest I'd like to get both at the same time. A set of Jordans have been offered to me, cheap too, but I just dont have enough money for them. Im fussy on wheels so its hard to find sets I like!

Yes changing the color mate. . More changes after this. .as I want to change the theme now

Originals are ET50 and I think they're 6" wide? Not 100% on the width though!

Well I have a blue print filter on TRINITY D k26 that's all I will say

You know on the rota site you can upload a photo of your car and try them on. 9" wide is going to need some work to fit.

45 is perfect imo but it does depend on the style of wheel.

properly gutted. that set off a bit of a dodgy car history - 1.6 J reg cavilier with the best reg ever (J460 CUM) which I found didn't have an air filter in when I went to change it... explains the clouds of black smoke that used to belch out of it! in the end it got scrapped because of the longest MOT fail list ever (they had to write on the back of the sheet). next up was a 1.4 pug 306 (though it did have a lush momo steering wheel) that I ran until the clutch went, then scrapped it (but didn't retrieve the wheel - DOH!). then I got a 1.8 Carina with 190k on the clock, which was mint for covering the 350 miles a week I was doing on the commute, and had a HUGE boot. Eventually the o2 sensor went which was going to cost £400 to sort (only paid £300 for the car). I went to look at a volvo at the garage to trade the Carina in, but saw the deck and then the VTI sign, and then googled it and here I am. test drive sold it all day

Perfect excuse to get some energy bushes in I reckon!

x2

I need to see how money pans out, got £500 of hotels and car insurance which take priority for this months pay! If I can afford it once my refund comes then I'll get straight on them!

No, you need 4x114.

What I would try is. Where the back box is take the horn live off and the one from the main loom tape them together and try the horn that way. If works prob that relay

Back on topic.

No, you need 1 channel per speaker or set of components. Eg if the amp is 2x150w it will supply a pair of speakers/component set with 150w each or it can be bridged (taking the + feed from one channel and the - feed from the other) to make a single channel of 300w. If you want to amp a set of component speakers and a sub you really want a 4 channel amp with one pair of channels to the front components and the other pair bridged to the sub.

As said above you need to keep us interested or we easily get...Oh look theres a police car just pulled up in my cul-de-sac Wonder what they want ??? Where was i oh yeah... Sidetracked mate so keep the mods coming or you may fall fail to random

Not good about the lights, it looks like they haven't been put back together properly. What was that, did you hear that, *cue much weaving around to replicate the noise.
