Shafzzz Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hey Shafzzz is the one with 2 Starlets in his car history! Blame him! Although the Japspeed Scooby lost a wheel by our stand too... Uhh... And both starlets don't exist anymore *gulp* But yeah Japfest2 should be smooth, I hope! Just ordered my Team HEKO wind deflectors and fastplug for the sub, debating whether I should order a red rear towhook for looks, and a US sized rear plate..

Those tow hooks are too OTT for me, if the plates done right it could look good. Pressed in a Jap style font, but then that wouldn't be road legal!

Shafzzz Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 I got the 12x6 plate coming, not getting the towhook as I'm undecided although the girl-mate wants to get me a present for Eid under £30 for the car, so I may ask for it.. or fuel because using VTEC isn't kind to the wallet!

Shafzzz Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Double post, plate and fast plug have arrived and will be fitted when I cba, (really need some 3M tape haha) and also new front tyres ordered, then booked into my local Audi (yes, audi!) dealership for fitting and balancing, and maybe either alignment at audi or at National tyres for front end tracking, purely because since the driveshaft was changed obviously the alignment is out! Torquesteers like mad then snaps right due to these budget tyres on it atm. I can spin the first 3 gears in the wet LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Mad, tyres and alignment can easily cause that like you said. Amazing what difference just true pressures can make, let alone having different ones on the same axle etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafzzz Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'm only changing fronts because even though the rears are budgets, they're better budgets than what are on the front, and have 6-7mm each, plus money.. four 17's are not cheap especially with JF2 weekend coming up!

Krzys Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yeah no point changing them if you don't need to straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shafzzz Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Great Success! I've been refunded the money the driveshaft scammer took from me, more fuel for japfest2! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shafzzz Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 As I received the money back from the scammer and it was the celebration of Eid yesterday, I had some more money to spend on the car. I've bought the two new tyres, new sidelight bulbs, 2L of Honda MTF, and then last night whilst driving my passenger headlight blew so I had to order a new pair of headlight bulbs (went for OSRAM Nightbreaker plus). At the moment I'm driving around with one yellow and one white-ish blue bulb so I'll swap them all over to the yellows till my OSRAM comes as my car OCD is kicking in hardcore. Once the tyres are here I'll book it in for fitting and alignment! Exciting japfest2 prep.. Just hope I make it on stand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
