TE37's and CE28's are usually forged, so yes, they are worth more, however they do look a bit pap in the smaller sizes. TE37's 'can' look good on the right car, but CE28's (IMO, ofcourse) have to be large, at least 17, pref 18", with a monster dish, to fully appreciate the style of the wheel, you just cant get that with the smaller sized wheels. Same with the 3-spoke SA3R advans, they look gash in anything less than 17", as you dont get the dish from them (my SSR Kakimoto's are 9" wide, for example, with a 2.5" dished lip, might be even more, never measured). What im saying is, there are alot

they're 'worth' 200-250max, probably with tyres, i've had a few sets of them in the past, they aren't anything special, just, black. definately keep your eyes on ebay. type in searches such as mx5, pulsar, civic etc, they all use the same stud patterns, definately dont go paying over the odds for them though, they just arent worth it. Also, noone will know what they'll go for until the auction ends

well, not entirely correct a cheap little r32 gts-t with an RB20 is more than good enough for drifting, in fact they're very bloody good, as its a torquey little motor, can have em for alot less than 2grand also, plus they're very strong in the drivetrain region, obviously. thats the sort of discussion that gets people in trouble mate, drifting in a car park etc is private property, but the company who owns it can still prosecute, all have cameras etc and can easily track you down, so no, its not a good idea at all. trampdrift is ideal if you want to slide about with others who dont know m

as above, they wont go for 20k, if they go for near that then you'll see little change from £500 in today's exchange rate, thats with slow shipping, and the sort that means they'll get little protection on the way over, meaning they will probably get ravaged by salt water and such. bit of a shame, but there we go. when the exchange rate settles to what it was (around 200-250yen to the pound) then they'll be much more affordable, no point bringing them in at todays rates unfortunately. Those would have cost about 250-300quid a few months ago

the cv went on my glanza before i sold it, that make a kind of a clicking/rubbing sound at times, very wierd tbh, just had the joint replaced and it sorted it.

gym membership, as its like, the most expensive thing ever. that and lots of christmas pies from the misses.

as above, its not cheap, at all. i dont do it, firstly because im no good at it (nowhere to practice), and secondly because i wouldnt want to spend the money repairing the car when it breaks. dont get me wrong, i would love to, but i have better things to spend my money on, other than tyres, clutches, diffs etc. if i had a battered little s13 i may give it a go, but then again thats another car to run, and again, most expense. i have some winter tyres to try on, but again, there isn't the space round here to try it out, and street drifting is for people who should be shot.

4efte. 500quid, bit of wiring, bam, done. 150bhp easy peasy ^^; -
that sounds very much like every meal i've ever had.

christmas = beer. the end.

^^^^ what that fat prick said.

gt's, good (i'll prob get a little auto in the new year, 800quid auto mk1 gt will do me), but also, you fail at life. well, you're welsh so you failed long ago, but now you've just failed slightly more. also cuddles fur the car ye?

i love chu but that was mega lols, bloody mentalist. i assume that was low boost because it didnt seem that quick, might just be perception of the video though, i know i've recorded a few (tc's 450bhp s14 for example) that dont look that quick in the vid, but at the time i believe feces was literally being forced from my body from the amount of boost, so yeah, perception is everything. and joz, lighten up mate, it was a crap vid, crap driving, crap tyres, but who cares, it doesn't mean anything, just a bit of fun at the end of the day. you do seem to take yourself a little seriously at times,

electronic ones aren't more accurate no, you'll never get more accurate than a quality mechanical gauge, thats fact. Electronic ones just provide versatility of peak recall, peak hold, warning etc, and funky stepper motor functions, but they are certainly not accurate. why the chuff did you sell this sparky? i worked my boobs off to get this for you, its a cracking unit. what is wrong with you boy, you crazy welsh cunt. also, if you need any info on it then let me know, i cannot remember the wiring exactly but it should be like any other gauge, ignition live, sidelight feed and then an earth

hahahaha, 4wd? are you joking? bunch of nubs. supe's are rwd, all of them. n/a or turbs, they all have the same chassis and drivetrain layouts, with different types of gbox (5sp, 6sp, autos etc). all driven through the same wheels though. also, all that power in a rwd being useless? what the fuck are you talking about? you get more of it on the road than with 4wd, as they suffer transmission loss. makes sense round the twisties, but if you can drive properly then rwd is just as capable round the bends, 4wd is just cheating, and for big girls, wheres the fun if you dont have the risk of dyin

No, thats not what you do. Wrapping it in towels prevents the airflow throughout the case, how will being damp help? do you know anything about electricity, and how water isn't exactly it's best friend? There is a method of wrapping it in towels whilst turned on, which obviously makes it go rediculously hot, basically overheats it, then after about 15mins you unwrap it, leave it on to let it cool down, reboot it and apparently it'll sometimes work, but its very much a temporary fix. Damp towels will not cool it down if wrapped around it, thats absolutely rediculous, hahahaha. I'm saving that

tbh its the stock rear bench with a really shitty bit of cloth draped over it, there's nothing particularly special about it.

i'd have it off you mate, pm me if you fancy selling it, let me know

i've ticked back a glanza odo before, and that didnt involve cutting anything, just about 3 or 4 hands and a few neat crafty little pointy tools to wind it back, but it is VERY fiddly, and will probably be entirely different to UK clocks as the cluster is very different.
