Just got online with it yesterday wow i've already killed 6 hours today, takes a bit of getting used to though if anyone wants to add me i'm AskAlDotCom!!!!

You're brake pads probably need changing my does the same when they are worn

How do, I've run a quick search and can't find anything, I was wondering if anyone known the sizes of the pistons in the brake master cylinder or if not where i'd be able to find out (without taking one apart)? Al

good news

they are 18x8 45 offset so should be ok, sounds like you got lucky Rory, I'm not looking forward to getting my geo checked, still a mate has a garage with a lift so i can check everything is ok underneath

The problem is I dont think it was there that day before as i came home from work the same way and didnt see it, there were no warning signs either. There has been a fair bit of damage to the roads around here recently due to the amount of rain we've had too.

I actually felt l ike a change so i'm going for gunmetal grey rather than the bronze should be here in about 10 days cant wait!!!

My IS is blue they will be replacing the bronze wheels i currently have on, thinking about writing to Blackburn council to see if they will pay for the damage! don't fancy my chances but hey if you dont ask you dont get

You would theoretically be able to change them but you would need springs designed for the coilovers (i.e. the same diameter) not all springs are the same size, the best thing to do would probably be to contact a company that supplies the coilovers and see if they have springs with different spring rates.

Sorry Rory 33 for me, probably because i would pick one up and use it to beat off all the others

I've not been having a lot of luck with my wheels recently managed to keep all 4 nice and unkerbed for 9 months then managed to do 2 inside of a week then yesterday morning on my way home fom work hit a mahoooosive pot hole (caused by all the rain recently) and bend one of them. Still just ordered a new set - what do you think?

When i was a kid I knew when i did something wrong because i got a clip round the ear or back of the legs never did me any harm, many is the time i walked around with a hand shaped red mark on my calf!! I hate the term hoodie too I'm 26 have (for now at least) a good job, pay my taxes, work hard but when I wear a Hooded top i get branded as a being a bit dodgy. Sure there are people who do wear hoodies to hide their identity to a certain degree but to me its just a comfy top to throw on........anyway i'm ranting now so i'll shut up or i'll go on for ages I also agree with the army idea how about 1 year after college then you are don you get a free ride through uni if you choose to go?

Sounds cool i can make it to that, I think its about time jamie bought us that beer aint it stav

I'm up for that its been ages since we had one last one for me was when we (me and stav) changed jamie's springs...............on a pub car park no less!!!!

Happy birthday mate

Cheers mate, already got some plans for the cash

I'm not really ar$ed to be honest it gives me a chance to focus on my degree for my final year plus I already have another easier job lined up for when it happens (I saw the redundancy happing from a long way off no one else did though)

My christmas bonus is about 4k...................... Normally it would be nice alas the only reason I'm going to get it is because I'm being made redundant ............................. Thank You I.E.S !!

I haven't got any fited as yet but i think i'm going to get em soon, i've been having some traction issues recently, i think i'm going to try either black circles or mytyres

I've got these on mine at the moment not really an all round tyre they are awesome in summer though

Thats pretty much the same as mine when i had it dyno'd on thors dyno at jae since found a boost leak and tightened the belt it seems a lot better now, it is however overfuelling badly so thats next on my list to sort. Alex

Cheers for the replies i'll look into them

Well it's getting to that time of year and after the previous couple of years driving in winter I have decided to get a set of winter tyres on my spare set of wheels (standard IS 17's) so I'm looking for a reccomendation as to whats best, also can you fit more narrow tyres (maybe 205's) on the standard wheels. Alex

Sorry I couldnt make it to this meet but its a bit far to come from Canada, hope you all had a good un
