  1. The pre-facelift should just have them on the wing. The facelift cars on the bumper.
  2. 44mm from the shoulder.
  3. VVTI's have a little more power and torque but there isn't a great difference. The TT VVTI's came out in Sept 97. The main desirable things that most of look out for are : Some Jap spec cars have larger brakes, these are standard on all the UK spec cars. So we call them "UK Spec brakes" Some also have limited slip differentials. And some also have leather seats. Auto/manual choice - just like most other cars. May 96 - the cars were facelifted - front and rear lights were updated, they look nicer. Dashboard changed aswell.

    Fifth gear

    It's hardly ever worth watching. They obviously don't know what petrol heads want to see.
  5. It's very upsetting to hear this, I'm from the North East too. My condolences to his family and friends.
  6. The E type one was good , it cost him 80K including the car.
  7. Beckham hasn't being playing well recently and he hasn't deserved to retain his place in the team. I'm sure any manager would find it hard to drop the Captain. He has to be applauded for making this decision, there was a big improvement when Lennon cam on yesterday. Unfortunately too late though. England's style of play was far too negative for me, it's hard to believe Erickkson was paid approximately 4 million a year for that.

  10. We didn't particularly look like scoring before Rooney was sent off, England haven't played very well at all in any of the games. Rooney couldn't do it alone up front! Beckham didn't so anything, I'm pleased he went off . Lennon played well when he came on. What was the point in having Walcott in the squad if you don't play him? It very stupid of Ericksson to take insufficient cover for two forwards coming back from Injury!

    alloy wheels

    Have a word with Gaz Walker from Envy last , he'll beat any price that you've been quoted . He's supplied the Racing Harts to customers before. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=58523
  12. It depends on the spoke design of the wheel and what front brakes you have.
  13. When they've tested them on Top Gear etc they've said nothing but good things about them.
  14. You'll have no problem with 18", they're the most popular aftermarket size. Have a look in the traders section, they can give the best advice. Or do a search. For that sort of budget you might be better off getting some secondhand ones.
  15. You always try to keep the diameter of the tyre as near to stock as possible if you're putting larger wheels on the car. So it's not a problem if you get the correct offset and width of wheel and you don't fit tyres that are excessively wide. More importantly ,make sure that wheels will clear the front brake calipers aswell, some don't! Most of the cars on here have 18" wheels.
  16. This can also happen if the tyre is too wide for the wheel.
  17. Hi I thought you weren't local when I saw those pics , I've seen your posts on Hid Planet. I've got my S2000 projectors, the ballasts and everything else ready to do my retrofit. But I hardly ever drive in the dark so haven't bothered doing it yet.
  18. Is it possible that they were originally fitted to a Chrysler Sebring?
  19. I would use fine wet and dry with a small sanding block to give you a nice flat finish. Mask off the surrounding area so the wet and dry rubs on that and not the paintwork you want to leave alone.
  20. About halfway down the page http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/techo.htm
