hahaha, evil yet sexy bitches ;)

unfortunately I got some already with the TuRD shifter honeybuns, sowwie ;)

decat made huge difference...it also turneed my omgwtfexpensive Hayward & Scott exhaust from low-key, refined sounding, to a Barry Boys special. It's not too bad, it's damn burbly for a 1.3L engine, and it makes a nice sound...but seriously, the Blitz Decat has multiplied the volume by 2 or 3 times, it's silly loud

yay! Thank joo master Tc, very honoured *sniff*

Thanks chap - only JAM Thing I have is the Actuator now ;) the FCC I bought used, ditto the Actuators (bought JAM ones liek 3 times now), been offered a JAM ECU etc...it's just a case of asking on forums and seeing what people have, or going via the Yahoo Auctions My car is officially a Yahoo Auctions/eGay/Junkyard car....not much of it came brand new! (even the car is from eGay )

Well said - and thanks Rick, Harry and Phil, I try to be as objective as possible, because in that sense no-one is going to argue with fact if they cannot prove otherwise - I study materials and construction methods as one of my modules of my degree, and I've studied about cars, srsly, since I could read. I haven't seen previous threads of this nature, but Harrison and Rick, for a fact, know a lot more about cars and perhaps the Starlet in particular than almost everyone on this forum...but perhaps they just got pummelled cause people thought it was "their opinion" And Phil, regarding the cen

could you make up bushes for the shift linkages too pweez?? Cpies if you can ;)

HSBC by the way (not to pollute Mark's thread more) - Rally missions in GT4....easy....

I couldn't care less if they're JDM or not...I love BBS wheels for example I just don't like them cause all they do is knock-offs. Manufacturers like Volk, for a fact, will destroy a wheel if it is found to have a manufacturing defect or flaw along the assembly line, they will NOT let it go through on the assembly line! It will be melted down, and start from the beginning. I've seen a lot of wheels, OEM, Aftermarket, Motorsport - get into accidents and get damaged, but I have NEVER, EVER....seen a wheel shear from the center. If it shears, regardless, this implies that the torque running a

just adding to the rant, I've made some Startling discoveries... edit - done

shizer, that's an essay!! ^^^^ sorry guys

to be fair, I really doubt you'd use them to the point of reaching such levels of stress anyway Peoplez, what the anti-Rota people are trying to convey here is...Rotas, are a cheap, mass produced wheel, and not say every cheap, mass produced wheel will prove to be so utterly and completely useless in strength, but fact of the matter is - being in a pretty much third world environment, and churning out thousands' of cheap wheels per month, you're not going to use the strongest methods of construction, you're going to find the cheapest and quickest method of construction, fact. There is qual

hahaha - that isn't TC, that's just Ghetto....I loves it

we get free money 3 times a year!! Well...free till we're out of uni

sounds like my car ^^^ no joke

no way!?!? me too....

Unfortunately it isn't, it's right down by the bulkhead so there's no physical way of attacking it from the inside. And, well, you've taken your bumper grille out already but yes, I had the bumper in my bedroom to do it, as easier Just to add, forgot to take better pictures of the manifold, so here goes: Plus a little something I bought cause I was bored: That'd be a Zep Racing Pillowball Panhard Rod...should replace the Whiteline nicely. Also have a Zep Racing Rear lower Bar coming soon too. Hopefully will get the Panhard Rod, Wheel Nuts and Brake lines on before the weekend (aka. Wh

voted for Gazzybaby, seeing as it's one of the more professionally shot photographs...and it looks secsksy, like him

evade the Radar Guns on his local road, the Police will merely hear him, not see him (and smell him, eww)

I think they are cool.... But I have eyes, and they tell they really aren't

Hahaha, well you're lucky there's no bouncers on here eh?!

thankies snugglebums

I can't comment on a subjective basis as I've never owned a set, but I can say this - no-one, ever, will be able to tell the quality of construction by sight alone, you'll need to do ultrasonic scans, xrays and finite element analysis to evaluate the quality of the metal construction of the wheels. Seeing as the Rotas "have been known" to fail, completely catastrophically, and apparently when not too stressed, I'm pretty sure most people would be shocked by the evidence provided if the following tests had been conducted. That's not to say they don't "appear" to look well made - painting/colou

haha, ass!
