nother little update for 2011

needed a new tyre as mine looked like this

10 points for make and model of tire
and it changed to this

this bit was fubared

reason

some other things that happned in the process(along with 2 bent spanners and 3 other ratchets fubared (only cheapies tho so))

also its booked in at black circles to get another new tyre unfortunatly they dont do A539s but meh ill live its better then Nankang yoko Sdrive

oh also will be running some 5mm rear spacers after tuesday and should be lower soon

 

[suj]

The old tyre was a Toyo T1-R

The new tyre is a Yokohama, but not 100% on model, had 1 on my RM's, was good, possibly S-Drive, don't think its a Parada, as that has different shape, so going for s-drive?

 

[Big-Pete]

just another little update:

ordered a set if these


anyone used em!?


oh and suj there A539 Yokohamas like the paradas i am having an S drive put on driver side

 

[suj]

ok my guy has ****ed me about

needed cheering up so bought one of these


also it blocks out my rear wheel bearing whine i hope


EDIT

there is no hoping it is infact keeping all engine noise/extirior/intirior/talking between pilot(me) and co-pilot to a minimum (between tunes or in the "quiet bits")

little edit my sub even came with a port plug(i affectionately call it the but plug) and it deffo stays in at all times for that nice punch you in the back bass!

 

[Big-Pete]

got some new stickers on the car will post up asap.

 

[Big-Pete]

all the exhaust heat shields are off so no more rattling HEAVEN!!!!!!!! and a cunit to take off especially not using a jack just did it on the floor also rear section of exhaust was loose so that got a tighten up!
