My mistake. read up, i actually apoligised, but for that sarcasm i'll retract the apoligy mwahaha, i love the way things get misunderstood in text format, its awesome.by the way, cut springs rule, in fact, i've thought of a better idea, i'm going to just weld a metal bar from the axle to the top mount, who needs shocks and springs eh! shock absorbtion is for pussies! ;) ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ecksjay Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 look fine to me, totally slag ;)anything else but black would ruin the JDM factor of them, they're either black racing, watanabe or enkei, but ye, they're hot.if you ruin them, i'll hunt you down and felch you, several times...let just hope you kept em jdm eh ;)also, they're not too firm? mine are fucking stiff as fuck, but thats prob due to the springs, they're a good 20-30mm lower than yours, fucking rock solid. i love it.

Nanglebadger Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Convertin the parcel shelf light to a fog light wont pass MOT as i was in the process of doin it but have been informed by my MOT centre that they will fail it. The reason bein somethin to do with it being to great a distance ABOVE the rear brake lights...blah blah blah...wot a lot of piss. I've had to buy an ugly square universal job from an autofactors for MOT purposes tha will be bolted thro the 10mm bolt hole in the bottom of the rear bumper. Hopin to have some sort of funky release wirin system hooked up to allow me to take it on and off for MOT or shit weather as i dont wana have that thing hangin off my bumper all yr round!HOWEVER!!!! As u know MOT is more strict in NI so i dunno how u would get on in england if u tried it! Just givin u the heads up!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 or you could put a 21 watt red bulb into one of the rear reversing lights,thats my plan anyways Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I find you really need both reversing lights (or maybe that's just me!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yeah 2 reversin lites is pretty handy, lights up the area behind u, helpin prevent any unfortunate mishaps (like shelly reversin into a bin if i remember correctly!!!! ).Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
