gutted mate that your selling it but needs must. i tell you what i have thought about selling mine but after 2 yearsish of rebuilding it i want abit for fun out of it. whats your trans am like? my dad was a massive fan but i dont know sod all about it. Mat

Hey Matt How are you mate you well? Compressed in oh wonderful!!!!!lol Cheers Mat

Hey i hope everyone is all and well. I have a rear wheel bearing which needs changing, has anyone changed one of these before? are they bolted in or compressed? Again many thanks Matx

Hey boys, Maybe i can help. i searched high and low for my alloys, i really wanted the RX8 a really solid alloy, but they are a discontinued wheel BALLS!!!!!!! I put 225 50 18 on at first and scraped the arch like mad even on the front. i went through so many tyres sizes to find ones that fit in the end i put 255 40 18 on the rear and 245 40 18 on the front. the rear still scraped but i had to roll the internal lip of the arch out, now works a treat and looks hot!!!! If you have any further questions i am more than happy to answer them Best wishes mat

Terry you can send it too my email if you like coolbreeze69@hotmail.co.uk Thanks Terry Mat

and i just thought it was me lol!!!!

Wow Terry your clearly know your stufff as you just lost me!!!! lol so what i have on the back is no good? i know it is catching but i was going to modify the lip on the arch and prey that would work. Im afraid sir you will have to simply it lol!!! Thanks pete i hadn't realise what i wrote and sarcasm really doesnt show that well in writing haha Thanks ever so much for you comment though thank you! Best wishes Mat

Good evening ok just one thing terry my car is no longer lowered the ride was shocking so i changed it!!!

in what way height or width? i have too be honest bean i have been taking advice from people off this forum, my tyre guy in deals in tyres day in a day out, taking into consideration the problems i have had and also finally looking at a tyre calculation website which passman 33 kindly gave me, so either way i can only do so much! Mat

ok result well almost!! i have put on the rear 155 40 R18 and on the front 145 40 R 18! Fronts are great but the back is still rubbing i think its because of the lip on the arch is facing down. bazgtr you mentioned a sard body arch roller, where can i get them from and what do they actually do? Cheers

I have to admit it that im really quite jelous!!!!lol i love the colour!!! Welcome to the LOC dear Sir. Any help with any problems just put up a note and there are loads of us to help!! Best wishes Mat

Thanks john! I got that facia on ebay but the US site, onlt cost 15 i think. Not sure if they do double too be honest Mat

have you got a picture matt?? Cheers mate

Passman thanks for that website, just what i really needed!! Well now i know that my alloys are fine i just to trail and error with the tyres Thanks everyone!! much appreciated!!! Mat

hey barrie Mate if i put on 245 tyer on surley i will have the same problem as the tyer is wider?

hey, ok the the rims are 8X18 offset of 35. With the tyres that are on 235 50 18, the tyre is virtually in line with the outer body work. i am looking at changing the tyre to 225 40 18 Suggestions please Many thanks for your time! Mat

Hey fellas!! Steve i know what you mean i used the car for 2 weeks and the mats were black and the seats werent much better. I have to admit i personally prefer this colour but what a nightmare keeping clean!!lol Yemgi - Thanks for doing that mate much appreciated! Bazgtr - Hey mate what do you think the strut braces? lol my email is coolbreeze69@hotmail.co.uk if you can send me photos of the door cills covers (can you get them in gold?) and the gear stick cover. im going to ring up the shop where i got the alloys from today and ill get the specs for them. 35 for the tyers you say ok my mate's getting a shipment of tyres in ill get them changed then. its great to here so many compliments Thank you Mat

Hey chris well if think they look all right then ill see if i can get a 'chrome' looking grill if not ill put the strips on. i must admit driving it is just awesome nearly 2 years stood still and now i can drive it!!! there are some teathing problems but all in due time!!

Ok last one! http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/Lin...22122007215.jpg

Thanks for your compliments! I looked on ebay to change the front grill to chrome but instead they sent me out these crappy stick on chrome bits!!! looked tacky. If you know where i could look for the chrome grill i will certainly get one and same goes with the clear lenses Bazgtr i bought some really hot looking alloys for the car but having problems with them, which i was very disappointed with, but ill get there. if not i will polish them up my self. http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/Lin...22122007213.jpg http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s50 http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/Lin...IMAGE_091-1.jpg http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/Lin...IMAGE_092-1.jpg http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/Lin...IMAGE_080-1.jpg ill let Yemgi work his magic on the photos (thanks) The seats were black when i picked the car up they still arent perfect but i just cant get the grime out of the creases!!! Summer job im thinking! Best wishes Mat

Well to over come the problem i took off the lowered springs as the ride was terrible and put the old springs back on, but im still having the same problem, so it has too be the offset of the wheel. Very very fustrating. Even my my good friend who deals with tyres says that 235 should fit, but its catching on the lip of the arch. Where can i buy this roller gadget? Cheers

I'll look into it Thanks for the reply fellas!

i have the same bloody problem with my LS '93 except the water drips off the tail light when i open the boot and floods of water enter!!!! Mat

Hey low red 16 mpg is what im getting around town! normally i get about 19!! Did you sort the problem? Mat

Yea same as everyone else mate glad your ok Mat
