  2. Things i love, other than my obvious drift stuff the community, ive been involved in the honda community the VW community and dabled in the toyota all of which seem very clicky here no ok some disagreements on tyre but its still one of the best automotive communities ive found in the UK yet , Things i hate, Everything so freaking expensive i built a a honda civic on used parts for £1000 thats not even a average set of wheels for a zed

  4. Next day delivery took 3 weeks and when it arrived it had came from Aerokit directly from bishop stortford which is 15 minutes from my house not knight racer, rather than say its not in stock its being made for you please understand they just got very rude and swearing and shouting down the phone saying its been sent i know of a guy hes friends with Kezman999 on here so he he might be able to give you a more accurate record of accounts but his R34 gtt was sent to them to be fitted and sprayed with a 'East Bear' (gtr replica wide arch kit) they had had the car 2-3 weeks and he couldn't contact them they wont answer phones or emails so he went down there to find they hadnt even made a start on it considering it was supposed to be complete in like 3 weeks it seems unless your a R35 customer your not important and not worried about
  5. like this no but get some good wheels in an aggressive fitment and a BGW and other body mods could work But for the love of god avoid any GTR badges (ps i no its a g35 but same style of mods like a import tuner california look) it can work

  15. taken from http://riiprojects.wordpress.com/ HOT RODDING NEVER DIED…YOU JUST GOT OLD 25 Replies As you sit there watching TV, in your favorite chair, Thinking to yourself “why doesn’t MTV play music videos anymore?†You suddenly hear that young neighbor hood kid coming screaming by your house driving way too fast in his smoke blowing “Datsun two hundred “SX†or something like that.†You can hear the timing is off and it’s having some knock issues, you also think to your annoyed self “maybe I would help him if he liked real cars like my last Corvette or a good old Hemi, some cool hot rodsâ€â€¦Guess what, he does. He IS driving a hot rod, and it’s doing one of its intended purposes by pissing you off. You’re just in the wrong generation now where the music is bad, the trends are terrible, the cars cheap, and the motorcycles too loud. Nothing changed, you just got left behind…MTV doesn’t play music videos because music videos don’t market anymore. Everyone gets their music online and believe me if they did play music videos it would be Justin Beiber and Miley Cirus, not Queen and Kiss like you want. You’re no longer their demographic..sorry to break it to you. Hot rods started out as dangerous experiments to go as fast and have as much fun as you could, with what you could afford and do it with style that attracted tail. The formula hasn’t changed, the resources have changed. No 16 year old kid is going to go pay $5000 for a hunk of rust and door frame someone calls and 32 ford, or go to the local yard and find a good condition flat head or 442. They get last generations entry level cars just like you did. Those used to be Civics and Sunfires and by being fwd, fashion become more important then performance because modifications weren’t as plausible. Still every Honda had an exhaust because the quest for more power and attention is universal, just the platform wasn’t the same. So lights, bodykits, and flashy paint took over for a bit but now the next generation of cars is here again. Some are fwd, some are awd, some are even rwd once again, but also at the same time the 3rd generation sports cars are now affordable and they drift! So the drag strip is no longer the main street or best 1/4 mile you can find. It has transferred to industrial corners and mountain roads, the naturally aspirated v8s replaced with the sound of a hissing turbo and the scream with the rpm given by less cylinders, but the root is still the same; teenagers and young adults expressing themselves and having fun learning to love cars like you did. Its just a different age, and scene. Shooting flames out of loud exhaust, rebelling with smoking tires that don’t quite fit right, throwing in a bit of danger, race parts and some outright “**** youâ€s to standards of society. You have yourself a hot rod and hot rodders. I don’t expect my opinion to matter, or even be right, but next time that “ricer†fly’s by, remember that we all love cars and it’s just a different time. Maybe you can turn that irritation into a positive and give him a thumbs up instead of a call to the police…
  16. sorry to hear but if there hub centric shouldn't be any further stress on the bearings
  17. Is this the way to do it then? Stevo - you say brake lights are disabled though... Planning some drift days soon, so looking for the answers. Something that keeps the brake lights working too would be great drift without using the foot brake i do
  18. it very reasonable when you think of it if its £375 for the license then dyno rental Marks labour marks travel and accommodation costs
  19. I think you and me have a different definition of fun
