Re: [Mk2] [NA] Recommend me some wheels please

hi,
i doubt you will get new wheels and tyres for £500.
best thing is to either put a post in the wanted section.
or just keep your eyes on the sale section.
bit over the top i know,but i recently paid £600
for secondhand 16in wheels,without tyres.
but £500 should get you a decent set. hth, paul.

have to agree mate :thumleft:
but as the op asked about which intake ?
this would have to be the sharp intake of breath,as he got the bill for
the conversion,works out a bit more expensive than a k+n. :roll: .paul.

K&N it is! one small thing, this flexi pipe that comes in the kit, to direct air at the cone (as I presume) what does that attach to ?? if you look at the second photo,you will see the black flexi. this is fed into the vent area, secured with a long plastic tie. positioned to direct air on to t...

You learn something new every day :) I assume they all had the front brace as standard? yes mate,they all had the front one. as far as i am aware,only the tubbys ...

Ok...in my opinion...they're just not worth the same amount of money as a second hand pair of ...Cusco or similar name brands that have had more input than just been knocked up from a list of measurements.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] steering issues

Has anybody got any ideas? best way in the situation you are in, my opinion. would be to go for a staggered tyre setup' don't think the lexus wheels would take a 235/40 tyre for the rear if it would 215/40 on the front would be o.k idealy you also need spacers fitting to the rear. 205/40 front 225/...
