Wrong.
Every major tyre manufacturer recomends new tyres on the rear of the car.
Due to what has already been mentioned about correcting oversteer being a lot harder than understeer.
Places such as Costco (or at least the one I use) refuse to fit new tyres to the front of the car.
It has...
Look in the traders section on here for Opie Oils, will probably have the offer in there. Gives a discount code, coupled with CS discount when you join up.
Not sure if it's the cheapest, but Opie always deliver super quick and I've never had any problems, so regardless of price within reason...
Thats mint dude!
I want something like this next year once I've put my R6 back together and theres room in the garage!
Used to have a DR250, was an absolute truck but never broke! So damn heavy though!
AST's arent all that, I was impressed with build quality but just didn't seem anywhere near worth their money.
KW's are the s**t, I would go for them over any other set.
Forks off today, along with footsets, front wheel etc and a few other bits and bobs that will be replaced/powdercoated/sprayed.
Need to get the tyres off and bearings out of the wheels so they can be done. Was going to replace the head bearings but I've been sent the wrong ones :(
Looking good!
Made a huge difference just claying/tar remover to the car, but has come up really nice with the SRP & EGP. Lovely colour!
Everytime I work on a clio I miss my 182 so much more :(
Too much money and effort for no huge gain I don't think.
Rather spend that money on beer and prostitutes!
Should hopefully have the wheels and forks off to be sprayed this week.
Thought I should revive this now I've decided to crack back on with it!
Just buying a few tools to help with the job then I will be going at it full pelt.
Wheels will be off for powdercoating (black)
Few bits and bobs probably going off for powdercoating too.
New headset bearings
Wheel...
Just take them off?!
Would be better just riding on the bumpstops to be honest though.
Just go steady with it, I would cut almost through the spring, then get a long chisel and big hammer and just t**t it whilst being away from the arch as much as possible. Thinking about it I actually very...
So we're thinking not write off?
I was assuming that it would be a fair bit of labour and parts etc on a £3.5k car, 60% being £2100. The quarter panel is HUGE so can't be cheap.
Wheel is scuffed all up the face so needs replacing really.
Mate at work got hit at the weekend in his car.
I'm fairly sure it's a write off, needs a door, rear 3/4 panel, wheel. However the pillar inside the door is also creased etc.
A few pics:
Looked on Autotrader at trade ads, and to get a similar one (52 reg Astra 1.8 SRI 3 door on 70k...
Lifeless, its dirty with rubbish pictures how can you tell either way?!
I think you might actually be the most negative and miserable cnut ever most of the time! When did you last smile? Was it recorded as evidence?!
Thanks Ste.
Dunno what wheels they are, maybe team dynamics.
With wanting to sell it, I don't want to spend tons on it, standard wheels were lookign shabby, and needed 2 new tyres, so thats about £300. These wheels with decent tyres in mint condition cost me £140.
JDM wheels are 16's (same as the new...
Need a new camera, and with my 21'st coming up thought it could be a group present from some of my family.
I wouldnt use any settings etc, just want a decent sturdy camera that will take a few decent pictures basically.
So, any suggestions?!
Budget of around £200-250 at a random guess....
Cheers.
Basically because I thought I would keep the car longer than I am not planning to, so it would be worth it, and I'm 90% to having a minter now, may as well finish it off!
Got bumped into at work in it on the rear bumper, so needed a new one of those, plus with the faded roof, spolier and...
Got some new wheels for the DC2 last week nice and cheap with half decent tyres so went for it. Suit the car I think, bit bigger so fill the arches better etc.
Went for a blast in the peaks earlier with a mate, nothing special but whatever!! Not too shabby for 102,658 miles!
Future...
Because people know yourt name, then know that the plate is nothing to do with it!
Private plates should only be questioned by people you dont know in my opinion.
Get a V6 one on it.
Just my opinion!
