Re: My Rev 3 Tintop Turbo "Tina"

Spacers finally on, long job, cutting down bolts and the like but now she sits 40mm wider at the back and 10mm wider on the fronts. Im not sure the pictures do it justice, but that extra width really has transformed the look of the car. http://i.imgur.com/DD6OWFp.jpg http://i.imgur.com/I0BLres.jpg

Re: fitting rear wheel spacers

Well, interesting morning, got the car on a ramp, got the wheels off, got the spacers fitted and ..... dammit, it seems the standard hub bolts are a touch too long and need half a cm or so taken off so the wheel sits flush on the spacer. Not the most ideal update, but one step closer, yak shaving, l...

Re: What subs you got? homemade or any active subs that fit ?

Does a car with a cockpit this small need a sub? wouldnt a decent amp and some nice component speakers give enough bass?

Ive found that the bass drowns out all the mids and highs and frankly sounds terrible.

Re: fitting rear wheel spacers

Ok, well, tried to jack up the car, had problems, no matter how much I lifted it, the rear wheels wouldnt leave the floor, I tried a combination of a mid mounted trolley jack lifting the sideskirt to a point where I could fit a normal 'winder' jack under the rear mounting point and still, no matter ...

Central Locking problems

Whilst its not that much of an issue, ive noticed that when i turn the key on the drivers side door, the passenger side door doesnt open / lock, maybe its supposed to be like that, but my previous GT-Fours had this feature.

What. do?

Re: JDM Stickerbombs

I dont think it has anything to do with it tbh, I just think its a funny little sticker with a rising sun colour scheme. Ive seen all sorts of different ones, i personally think they are pretty cool, but upon reflection I wont be putting it on my car.

Going to start using this thread (like others have done) to effectively contain everything to do with this car, effectively becoming more of a project thread. So, the postman stopped by today and brought me some prezzies... http://i.imgur.com/sCJnqdq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/wy9WXSv.jpg http://i.imgur...
