Socks Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Love your progect Socks. Your new wheels look like WedSport TC-05 reps. If they weight anything like them, its next to nothing LOL!I guess you sit and snipe on JDM auctions to get your bits bud? Some of the random bits you've bought are rather strange and obscure.Cheers Rubix mate, means alot!There similar to those wheels, the ultralights have sets of 2 spokes tho, wereas the wedsports are even...However, as i said previously, there the lightest wheels Ive ever felt, I may have to weigh them!JDM auctions for some bits, as some bits you simply just cant get here... Im always on the perv for unique stuff! Result, good to hear its back, fingers crossed for motCheers dude, hopefully she will pass!get pics up of those bulbs fitted if you can buddy really wana see what they look like fitted as gonna order a set for mine i think.cannot wait to see it with new wheels on also! pics today of them fitted aswell...?!Read the following update bud UPDATE!So i was kindly allowed the afternoon off to prep car for MOT (only a few little niggles needed sorting really) and fit some of the goodies that are sat here waiting to go on!First up was my rear bulbs, I dont care what anyone says, painted red bulbs or bulbs using red paint DONT LAST. So they start off Red, then go Pink, and finally end up the colour of a nromal bulb, which is illegal and looks gay lol!Before:Fitting the LED's stunning me tbh... Im worried they may be too bright now, I aint seen them at night yet!Looks loads better tho! The colour they should be!I then set about fitting my JDM Yellow Rainbow front headlights, which are just as amazing!JDM Yellow Rainbow on left, stock H4 bulb on right with white LED Sidelight Im going to buy some yellow sidelight led's i think!There also considerably brighter, as Glanza headlights are shocking! So every little helps!Then wheel'd her out into the sunshine and fitted my rare sunstrip.... Its pretty cool plastic fitting jobbie! I love it!Tis Awesome!I also straightened the Nardi Wheel, Reconfigured the Earthing Kit as Ricky had it off...Now im off to get my Tracking Done and then go for the MOT! So ill update later today!Still got my rear tow eye and shifter extension to fit, and im still waiting on tyres to arrive for my new wheels to go on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The bloke had never seen anything like it either haha!It got:Suspension Heavily ModifiedBrakes Close to Inside of WheelsExhaust Excessively LoudNot too shabby hehe! I also taxed the car with a 6month fresh disc!So got home and fitted my Tegiwa Shifter Extension!and I have to say, probably one of the best mods ive done!
