    The only thing that I would look into further are the offsets, is the front at 30mm a little low?
  2. Glad you've got it sorted. The bloke should've fitted it properly in the first place. When I forget the way something might fit it helps to look for marks left by bolt heads, corrosion etc.
  3. I think they've got to do something and put restrictions on new cars that are built with ever increasing engine sizes and performance figures. I don't believe they should do it with secondhand cars though as they will gradually disappear anyway.
  4. You could pick one up at Screwfix for £15.99 I bought the 10L one. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/67116/Automotive/Fuel-Pumps/Jerry-Can-20-Ltr
  5. How do you manage to get 74%, you get 5% for every correct answer?
  6. The highest tax band of £300 is only for vehicles registered after 23/03/06. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524
  7. Four stone, that's some achievement. You must feel so much better now.
  8. It's always best to test such obvious things like that it can fail on before you take it for the MOT.
  9. Normal spray paint works too without any discolouring, a bloke on Supraforums can testify to that. But you require a primer and the paint isn't as thick. I used the plasti-coat smooth stuff in red, it was a nicer shade than hammerite . B & Q and Halfords sell it.
  10. Do you seriously think I need to ask someone, I think you do? Have you ever heard of the word "insinuate" ?
  11. You're not even worth arguing with, making childish comments like that.
  12. It's hard for you to comprehend, give me a reason why they cannot be believed. Would you believe them if they said crime had gone up, of course you would. Just because others agree with you it doesn't mean that you're correct does it, it's not exactly representative of anything without figures to back it up. What about the vast majority of members who haven't contributed to this thread? There isn't a simple yes/no answer to this, it's all about opinions . When you switch the news on or buy a newspaper they always focus their attention on bad things, I don't recall it being any better 20 years ago. I'm not denying that crime type percentages haven't changed.
  13. You talk a load of rubbish, no I'm not retarded. Only complete idiots respond like that, just because I have a different opinion than you you've got to resort to calling me a retard. 1. The statistics are all we've got, what can you base your opinion on???????? 2. You say that "everyone realises but me", who do you actually mean by saying everyone???????? See if you can answer these two questions with logical answers. ..
  14. This fitment guide is useful, you can input your sizes. Most of us if buying aftermarket wheels would put wider wheels on the rear just like the stock car as Ian has already mentioned. But if you're set on buying 8.5" front and rear then in my opinion they wouldn't cause you any problems, the best tyre sizes would be (if using 18" wheels). 235/40 18 front 255/40 18 rear I've also taken into account of the stock tyre diameter so your tyres will fill the arches and your speedo won't be too far out. Best to get more than one or two opinions though. Supra Tyre fitment.xls
  15. Okay , we'll agree to disagree then. You've got your opinion and I've got mine and that's all they are - opinions. But I'll return the insult to make it fair. When you pass away and people ask me what the cause of your death was, I'll say your stupidity. Here's another good one. Don't you have a terribly empty feeling ---- in your skull?
  16. If you really think that's a big problem then you're very much mistaken.
  17. Because I've got far more important things to do, like getting a good nights sleep like most people do. If other people want to do this then feel free, I've got nothing against it.
  18. What a load of nonsense, why would I want to wander around a city centre at 2.30. You say I'm blinkered, you base your opinion only on walking around a city centre at 2.30am. I wished I had an education now instead of 24 years ago when I left school, teachers were almost totally unacountable, they get a far better education nowadays. Codswallop, give us some statistics that actually prove something. An opinion with nothing to back it up is not worth having.
  19. Tell me why you think crime levels have gone up and why you don't live in cloud cuckoo land then. Can anyone tell me why they think that crime levels have gone up, it's no good saying "cos they have".
  20. You talk a lot of sense, don't forget the population has increased around 10% too. Graph produced by the Home Office, you'll all now start saying that they've manipulated the figures. oooooALL CRIME - British Crime Survey data http://www.crimestatistics.org.uk/files/images/BCS_Total_crime_06.gif
  21. LOL I don't know where we'll get a goal from.

    I don't call "Repost" anymore as I've come to realise that not everyone would've seen the topic when it was originally posted. I just leave it be and don't spoil the thread.
