It's a thing of beauty isn't it... :)
-
You talking to yourself baz :winky: :P
-
Good point Bazza,but i've seen a 'S' reg and i dont think it was a private plate!! My car was an original 'S' plate... I was probably one of the first to own one in the UK.. and an Altezza too....
-
It's a club dude, and a friendly one. If you don't appreciate the 'noise'... don't read the posts? :winky:
-
www.performancealloys.com for a start.... do a search on google. loads of wheels out there, or get a car magazine - loads of adverts. just check the pinned notices for wheel specs... KV

I rarely use the aircon unless it's really hot, as I prefer the sharpness to the throttle response with it off, than the slight hesitance when on. Having said that I've been using it a bit over the last cupla weeks as it's been hot, though during the colder months I'll run it about once a week for a few minutes - this also helps circulate the refridgerant, as well as reduce bacteria build-up...

Don't forget go-karting on the 5th... :winky: busy on 6th tho :(
-
Yes they do a bit... I gotta work out some way of damping them... might just stuff some cotton wool around the fixings... :duh:
-
Where are you from flyboy? Good to see another Altezza owner... welcome to the club :)
-
Yep. Google toolbar. It's all you need.
-
Like mine.... check link in sig.

What was the verdict on the Mothers stuff then? I'm using the Alloy Wheel Wax stuff which seems fine, but I obviously want the best... where's this Mother's available (apart from the Euro chap who got those 3 bottle )

It's a grey area this one, as imported cars are allowed to use motorcycle numbers on two lines, because they don't normally have a mounting area that can take a one-line plate... If you make sure it's spaced correctly and is legible, it's unlikely you'll have an issue - strictly speaking, my front plate should be on two lines as it's using motorcycle lettering, but I passed MOT no problems - but then again, mine's an import, so they might just have been more lenient... :)
-
Just spent ages with a ruler and a DTP package on my PC to play with size and letter spacing etc. :winky: A mate at Halfords got them done up for me as a special order at custom sizes for the front and even the large Jap-stlye back plate to go with the rear carbon-fibre trim (shown below), and even let me do the lettering myself according to the template I'd printed out from my PC :) I was prettly lucky, as this was over 3 years ago - these days I think FancyPlates are probably the only people that'll let you do non-standard sized plates....
-
Looks great! As you can see here, I used motorcycle sized lettering on a short plate to fit the gap on my Jap import, as there wasn't a full-sized plate holder anyway. Looks much better IMHO anyway :D Asam

Chrome wheels rock!
-
Yeah me too - trying to fit it around JAE :winky:
-
Yeah probably - it's a good place to meet, but getting there as early as possible is advisable as it get's pretty busy! Asam what time we talking 8ish onwards is a good time as there's still a bit of light and achieveable for peeps after work...

I'm running 18x8 with a 40 offset and it's fine. You can always get spacers to add a few mm offset if they rub. I kept to 225/40 with front and rear so i can swap the back and front wheels every few thousand miles to help keep the tyre wear even. 235/35 on the back is so marginal an increase in tread I thought the advantage of being able to switch tyres around more beneficial Asam

Other small items include Tom's Eyebrows, stickers, badges trims etc... When are you going? I'm hoping to head out there in late July...
-
Hmm.. That might work. I know the bottom connector is the same, and the height is about the same (without aerial) so it migt just fit in the holster..... I might just take you up on that - to be honest as it's my secondary phone, I'm not so bothered what it is, so long as I can drive handsfree :)
-
Cool!!! BTW I know this is but how do you do the qoute within the qoute like in Kaveys post? I can't seem to make it work. Like this? Dunno.. But seriously... just look at the [quote and [/quote tags..... :winky: the first indents, the second erm outdents.. :D Asam
-
Yep - T28/29/39 shape... though T39 is preferable cos it's tri-band...
-
You two sound like a QVC infomercial!! :P
