do you plan to run the 180 or 120 TW?

Sleeka spares have the NS2r 265-35R18 180 treadwear on special for $150 each. very cheap for what they are.

give me some feedback once you've taken them for a spin, I'm getting some suspension components fitted at the same time I do my tyres so will be a little while off giving mine a run...

Same boat. I need to do brakes, swaybars and probably new coilovers too. Then i can drive fast again emoji14.png

it's a never ending cycle this modifying car business :P

although after this it'll become more maintenance / restoring for me...

finally got my ac sorted, swapped out the ac headunit, apparently there are more than ons size of front fascia, had to do a swapover from my old unit.

 

also used some plastic polish on the surround, brought back that satin shine :P

Did you know if you hold down the "Lower Temperature" button for 5 seconds it goes into "FC" mode which is basically about 16 degrees..

Try it and enjoy :) Also highly recommend getting the condenser fan wired up to turn on as soon as you turn on A/C.

You can also hold the "High Temperature" button for 5 seconds and that goes into "FH" (Fast Hot) mode. I used to say "Fkin Cold" or Fkin Hot" lol.

huh did not know that.

also when i have the ac unit out i replaced the shitty bulbs for leds for button illumination, jesus f**king christ thats a frustrating job. the little f**kers just do not come out. they un twist and go loose, but dont just fall out. i have to destroy each and everyone one to get them out.   sooo not a fiddely kinda person.

Yeah, you just need to change the temp to 18 or 32 then hold the temp button for 5 seconds. It'll go into "FC" or "FH" mode. It's handy in summer when you want to freeze or in the winter when you need to heat the cabin up fast. If you watch the servo motor operate under the dash, you'll see just how far it moves either way.

I found it easier to remove the front face held in by 3 screws to remove those pesky globes. Massive pain in the ass though.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
