Got the jacked up ready for arch enemy to turn up and roll my rear archs as they were just rubbing and gives me more clearance on track days when cornering hard.

Wheels and brakes look amazing matey! :)

thanks matey

Very nice! I was looking at getting those nuts but from what I've read online the colour flakes off and the thread is easily stripped?

cheers mate i would rate these highly, ive had these wheel nuts on my s14 and they are spot on they do not strip the threads either one of the best ive seen on the market ive got a couple of mates who have rays wheel nuts and they are bad for stripping the nut thread

Jealous of the carbon surroud though i wanted that badly. if you sell that soon give me a shout :)

Dropped the whiteline front and rear antiroll bar, panhard rod, lower arms to the powder coaters and zinc platers to look like new again but in a differant colour scheme ;)

Also picked this Sard racing rad cap up form jap performance spares

Back in January i finished my dash ready to be flocked and i got adviced about a company which had great feed back, so i took it there. so i done the 2 hour trip to Take it there and they said i would have it back within 2 weeks which i was happy with. Left it with the guy and 3 weeks later got a phone call saying the stuff is ready but would like you to come and see it before taking. So i took the 2 hour drive to collect my bits and what can i say say the quality was crap and patchy inm places, so i said i was not happy with it and want it re doing as not going to part £300+ for work im not happy with so he said i will re-do it again and post it to me within a week so agreed that. (i left there very p***ed off)

2 weeks later still no dash or phonecall or any replys to my messages and texs. Finally get hold of him and he tells me hes done it and its not come out crap again :angry:. So he said im going to get my machine serviced and tested then have ago again 3rd time lucky so he gets this done and it comes out the same turns out the glue hes been using has caused the problem with the way its covered, So 4th time hes doing it get the call saying yes its come out good and i will send it straight out im happy now and looking forward to recieving it at long last after 3 months.

Delivery turns up this monday so i unwrap it and my heart drops the dash it shit . patchy in places, light scuffs, some areas are thin in places.

at this point im fuming and called the company up his words were

" we have done 3 other dashs this week and there perfect and yours is the best we could get it which is joke for a compnay to say that. then he says send it back and i will do it again and the next thing you have done by us i will take money off the bill"

well for one i have told him ive lost faith in him doing it again. Saying that he will knock money off the next bill is a joke because for the cock up hes made im not going to use him again.

I am now £300+ down and im sending my bits to another company i have found which seem very resonsble and his work is to perfection.

I will keep this updated as running out of time to get it all done for japfest now but i will see ;)
