If you are looking for genuine second hand Brides , Dave has a few in stock http://www.jdmdistro.com/product-category/interior/

Shop in Ireland was selling the fake Brides Gias, they do look superb quality ; as far as I know you could get two sizes , JDM side and a little larger EU size 775 GBP sounds very steep, they were selling them here for 620 euros for the pair; they stopped selling them because customs clamped down on copyright infringment http://www.redpowermotorsport.ie/ https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=401335823271605&set=a.401335073271680.92533.334923429912845&type=3&theater https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/599551_401335823271605_1309598813_n.jpg

I think so Marty I think all the straight 6 talk is a deflection and to get people talking about drivetrains ; definitely think TMG650 development work will be incorporated some how

And a red crackle painted Cam covers/ carbon fibre engine cover through the perspex glass on the bonnet, with a Titanium strut brace and red Brake calipers

What about the cat Jim?

I like it, the more I look at it the more I like it, I was not a fan of the front bumper head-on but it is starting to grow on me! A Toyota source told Autocar that the FT-1 is not part of the Japanese manufacturer's collaboration with BMW; that tie-up is for hybrid sports car projects only. http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/detroit-motor-show/toyota-ft-1-concept-unveiled-detroit I cannot see Toyota having a BMW a partnership with a flagship model either. I put Marty's (bondango) List together, some good insights! 1. Front engine Rear wheel Drive 2. Gasoline powered only 3. powerplant is NOT linked with toyota and bmw's partnership which involves hybrid technology 4. TMG developed the 2urgse in twin turbo form last year and it met both Euro 5 and Euro 6 standards 5. the images ive seen, there looks like 2 IC's behind front bumper intakes with front facing fans, or they could be rads.. 6. If its the Current line of v8 UR high compression direct and port injected engines, then the tuning end of things is covered before it even comes out 7. they keep hinting and mentioning the classic Straight 6 layout, maybe they have taken the 2JZ-FSE design principals forward with todays technology... 8. From all the Vids at detroit, engine uses dual intakes which are usually favoured in modern twin turboed V applications

Thanks for the explanation interesting read TUV centers sound like the NCT centers here in Ireland Irish are badge snobs and registered year too, a BMW is the icon for your success here! Its funny, a 2006 BMW M3 is looked upon as less of a car than a 2014 KIA due to the year

What could possilbe go wrong?

Was just trying to gauge if this would be considered a fast car over there so looks like it will be! Next Q is how will Kim get through a TUV inspection (If that is what it is called over there?) , can the police stop you and take the car off you if it is modified? I presume this is why Kim has gone to the lengths he has to hide everything and make it look OEM, is it just take a chance he doesn't get caught? I remember reading in Denmark (I think it is) if the police see any modifications on your car they can take the car and for you to get your car back on the road, you need to prove it is as per OEM specification Over in Ireland , it is like the wild west; do what every you want , once it passes emissions, tyre thread and is roadworthy (Suspension, brakes work to a certain level) you are good to go

You get hub centric rings with them As far as I know, they are the only Japanese certified spacer for the Shaken (Japan's MOT equivalent)

Sorry I mis-read, you can go as low as 10mm bolt ons http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=KICS-5110W1

Out of curiosity, would Porches Lambos , BMW's, AMG's on the Autobahn be running mainly stock setups or do they get tuning houses like RennTech? a big tuning scene in the German Domestic cars? Regulations in Germany a nightmare to modify the engine outside OEM?

You can get 25mm and 30mm bolt on Spacers I have the Project Kics bolt on spacers on my car last 6 years no issues, I had to drop to a 20mm spacer, I got a slip on spacer with extended studs I heard two arguments for which is better Extended studs are safer because they are fixed through the Hub as opposed to just bolted onto the hub Bolt on Spacers because with extended studs (do to the length) they can twist depending on power levels To me both arguments make sense, H&R do both bolt on and slip on spacers ; plus alot of the drift cars put tremendous stress on either types. To me either one is fine , once you have a quality product under you and you are not putting spacers on something like a GTR with its cornering abilities and 4WD system. Only additional plus I can see with the bolt on spacers, any DIY mechanic can put them on very easily But if you can get the correct wheel offset in the first place by the time you purchase 4 spacers it will be just as cheap or cheaper to get your car measured by a professional for the correct offset

Running Spacers on the GTR with the 4wd system and it's cornering abilities is asking for touble

Hey Painting the Diff pumpkin casing (Cast with a aluminum Diff cover) Brake rotors bells Brake Calipers Parts so far POR -- Brake Caliper Kit (Black) POR-15 - Prep & Ready It not only dissolves away the rust it also etch primes the clean surface and leaves a Zinc Phosphate coating to prevent further rusting. This amazing liquid is non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive. It insures perfect paint adhesion and gives better welding conductivity. It can be brushed on, sprayed on or just immerse rusted parts to bring them up like new. Surfaces should be pre-treated with a quality degreaser for greater effectiveness. VHT - Caliper Paint (310ml) -- Gold High Temp Satin Black Wire Brush Looking for advice on prep and recommended products Rotor Bells Its a Project MU SCR Pro Rotor, example pic below but with pitted and faded Project Mu green Does anybody have any experience with pitting in Aluminium? I want to repaint my Brake rotor bells , but any advice on the prep? I was told and read it is a bad idea to get Aluminum Sand blasted Not too sure to give it a go with the POR-15 - Prep & Ready& VHT paint or get it powder coated. Hopefully finished Diff: Going for Satin Black finish and Silver Diff cover Finish: Supra Caliper

Thanks - - - Updated - - - Quick Q: Can you swap out the quarter plastic bits off the rear side window?

Emailed Keron, hopefully he has something and its not too expensive

Police have a few reports of them doing the rounds, Few cars in Bewleys Hotel too What annoys me is the Police said it is a regular occurrence in the Karting place, Karting place need to sort themselves out; never going back there again

Was out with the car club Karting, They smashed the window of a silver ek sir and a 2013 reg veloster and a 12 reg i40. . They took 2 iphones out of the veloster and we have it all on cctv. Was a purple honda hrv and guess what... they were travellers doing their rounds breaking into people cars tonight as there has been a few reports. The window frame on the passenger side was damaged on mine, and the plastic trim on the rear window quarters, don't think I can do anything about the rear quarter window trims I got off lightly compared to my mates R33, I reckon my proximity sensor was the deterrent Anybody have a passenger window frame , I presume they just clip on and off Mates R33
