You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

On a semi-related note... you know you go to a tyre shop too often when they've got your car for several hours tracking down a puncture to repair and checking the rest of the rim in their tank to make sure there's no other leaks... Then you get them to swap the lock nuts on the rims to the standard nuts you supplied but they misread the work sheet and only did 4 nuts from each wheel... so the manager does it himself in the hot sun by hand.

Then he says "Oh don't even worry about it, no charge"

/win

So...after many hours they finally did what you originally asked them to?

lol gonna head to thewheeldeal on the way home and get something there those maxxis MA-Z1s are $205, can get some fresh Achilles for $115 review dont look so bad:

At least till I get some decent width rims on again :yes:

Maybe I'll schedule in the next appointment while I get them changed over

Keep it in perspective though, all those reviews are written by people who spend $115 on performance tyres

LOL I'm not expecting much from $115 tyres

It's purely so there's something legal on there and not on the wires, if I was to have a stack in the wet currently fat chance of insurance covering it

The fact I only have a 8" stock rim don't think it'll matter what I have on there anyway, easy to loose traction regardless

I said they had the car for that long, not I was sitting there waiting that long... Key takeaway point was, it was free and now the emo is no longer limping along with low pressures in the mornings.

Not sure if oxymoron

Just a moron...

What fat rimz are you thinking of Leigh? They're 5x114.3 yeah? Can put something jdm tite on there to piss off the purists from both camps?

Yeah 5x114.3 i'd love some jdm ones but problem is 19 or 20 inch decent size jdm rims cost an absolute fortune.

Would love some meisters or something similar if I were to find them though.

Dam these are just too low offset and would scrub a fair bit

And these rears are perfect, but fronts would look a bit aids.. 15mm in than my last fronts maybe not that bad..

Have the Achilles in my s14 255,s

180 kW trashed them ......

370kw should be fun then.. :D

I will report back at 5pm if I'm alive

needs to be said.

we need to improve our driving test.

and stop parents teaching kids/getting hours in.

make mandatory lessons with a registered instructor law.

too many times i have seen learners sat in the right hand lane for 5km and they are not turning. etc etc etc.

the state of driving in this country is terrible.

im not saying the basic driving skill, im saying the ability to drive to the rules and conditions of the road.

tldr?

your a shit kent driver mate.

I wouldn't trust 'professional' instructors, I've seen them teaching learners dodgy shit. Like lane hogging, driving below the limit (don't care if it's 'safe' but it cause more trouble than its worth).

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
