try using swarfega to shine your tyres, the green one without the grit in it, lasts longer than anything ive ever used over the years, got this tip off a old bloke who used to valet cars. he used too shave seats with bic razors, lighty spray tired carpets with matt black paint, put dirty looking head and tail lights in his dishwasher, super glue then polish scratchs out off laquered cars, some off the stuff he did sounds daft but they all worked, and your car looked mint when he had finished.

no never had to roll my arches with the tte chicanes on with 80mm drop all round, never rubbed at all

bmw lights are LED and look class, post sum pics next time i have camera out,

ive got a pair you can hav foc if you pay postage

heres a pic with tte chicanes on and ksport coilovers, handled like it was on rails, untill the goodyear gsd3's deformed (wearing looked like tyres were under inflated, outer edges gone) after a manufacturer fault had them replaced foc with brigestone potenza re050's, what a difference, car felt even more stable and planted a high speeds, no sudden veering across the road like the goodyears used too.

hi all just a quick update,

everyone has different styles, i loved my lexus before modding it, just wanted something unique to me, that stood out and i think i will achieve that by the time its finished in march 2009

project has been on hold for a while, found out our lass is pregnant! its a labour off love, the car is coming along nicely, just waiting on the wings to be louvred then its gonna be painted, e46 bmw rear lights are in and working, make the car look totally different from the rear, waiting on a few bits from the states, just dying to get her finished, to all those that were interested in my old wheels heres a few pics, please do not remove as i am gold member

i would be looking at the main cat because many many people have removed the manifold cats and the car still passes the MOT test easily, so it makes absolutly no sense changing your manifold.

ims sure i have the full thing in loft, will check for you

was about to say 1200 wet n dry, farecla g3 cutting compound and g10 finishing compound

i have back box from a is300 you can have foc, also have the pre cat manifold (gutted) anyone needs them

i have a code reader, snap on solus 8.4, i charge £25 to read,reset, check live data and diagnose the fault,

same trouble on a is300, they have more lambda sensors on them, fitted a o2 simulator to the sensor after replacing it, have a couple of sensors lying around if anyone needs them, my old ones wasnt faulty just sending incorrect signals due to exhuast change and flow charectoristics, also most exhuast garages dont have time to remove sensors properly, they leave sensor plugged in which coils the wires up, which have become brittle due to heat exposer from exhuast, resulting in broken wires. sorted now though, and its not rich at idle thanks to o2 sim from prolex

hope this helps

its complicated, many late nights in garage, she says im a mechophiliac, cos i live n breath cars and bikes,

think i will be by the morning!!! lol,

Bet that was awesome mate! Always wanted a Skyline or a Supra but worried I'll kill myself so this was a compromise! Admittedly I guess not much of a compromise but it seemed ok in my head at the time

at least thats wat you told the missus!!! lol

skyline is for my arse only, no kids eating greggs pasty allover your pristine interior, no women kurbing your alloys or wrecking your sound system listening to take that and high school musical at full pelt!!!

p.s when do i get my gold member tag???

was very nervous when skyline ate a denso iridium plug, my arse nipped when it went on to 5 pots nervous time, only been in two days, striped it down with crossed fingers, replaced pistons anyway for wossiner 2.6 as a matter of course n more grunt, seen as though it was striped, polished n ported too,

Are you doing any engine mods to go with all these cosmetic mods too fella or leaving it as is?

was gonna supercharge it like b15urp has done, but then thought turbo route as you get more bang for your buck, its already got 6-2-1 manifold on, can-com, hks silent exhaust, decat, kn filter, iridiums, light weight pulley set, just concentrating on body as it goes well enough and its perfect to drive

how ever you want, no tyres on rear, think one of the fronts wheels is kirbed, but you can get replacment lips or polish it out with some wet n dry, i will hav a closer look when i get em out of loft

wheels are 18inch cant remember offset of the top of my head, take em away £200

HKS.

but if your Ksports are fine that is good. i was considering them a few years ago for another car, but when i did a bit of searching on the net i found mostly negative stuff.

as always there the exception....not knocking them, just thought you may have just got them

had them on skyline for 3 years no prodlems touching wood!! had them on all my cars, i think people think you put coilover on and thats it, at the end of the day, i can still break, expecailly when your car is as low as it will go and you have your damping on max lockout, so its like riding on concrete blocks lol

"Have to admit after seeing those pics of the car before it was tinkered with I do miss my Granite Sky IS!"

i love it to, thats why im keeping most of the car that colour

what suspension you running? out of intrest

had them on since i got the car two years ago, run them on 470bhp skyline never had a problem, had tiens on skyline frist ans wasnt impressed, was planing turbo or supercharged route but dont know now, wheels on lasts pics are for sale, and im a gold member now

heres a few more pics

will keep you's updated with pics

ive just made room for mine, its been waiting patiently for 3 months. brought the rear arches out about a inch and modified rear bumper to suit,so everything flows nice, rolled em whilst i was down there

yes full spray and mech shop, silver over the original granite sky, no corners have been cut, how i like it
