hey,

friday night i got pulled up for stopping in a non parking zone,which i no is wrong.but this isnt why he was hasseling me!just wanted to be a hero infront of what looked like a new very young looking cop.anyway he was up me for my mags,which are 17x9 with 255x40x17 rubber all round?he was telling me there scubbing out and by looking at them with my eyes they look brand new still?

my question being is there a legal limit on width of tyres if they are not 2inches bigger than standard?also i have the engineers cert tht says wheels and tyres are orignal or equivelent to orignal so is does that mean he cant do shit or will i have to take wheels off?didnt get a defect notice either?cheers and sorry for the hole story and stuff

The actual law is it cannot be more than a 15% increase in rolling diameter from the original wheels. 17x9 with 255/40/17's is fine, and if you have them engineered (as part of your 89 compliance im guessing) show him the papers and he shouldnt have a problem with it.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • PROBLEM WAS BROKEN COOLANT SENSOR!!! Replaced with a new one and its running mint.
    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
