oh daymn! I lyykk. Wait... I've known about there for ages. (This is awesome. I find out i can get internet on my phone and the first thing i do is check watercooled!) what tyres are you going to run?

HAHAHAH yeah and just let the tyres blow up due to the weight of my fatty fatty broom broom.

Tyres aren't decided yet, I've got two people who may be able to get me discounts, one who might even be able to get me some tyres from 'trade tyres' or something, for what it costs tradeprice. So we have yet to see, if I can pick up the same set of Kumho's, Falkens, or maybe even the bit more expensive toyo's for cheap then I'll go them

Need wheels first, to determine if they need a refurb (hoping not!) and THEN I'll take my car to get wheels fitted and rubbered up

Another little update peoples

Only more little minor cosmetics. Painted badges today (and fixed my VR lip, thanks ray)
For some reason, the paint we used on my rear badge turned out similar to my door handles - grainy/textured. I found a can of $3 matte black spraypaint lying around at home and used that on the front badge; I'm surprised with that result, it came out really nice.

Pics

Rear badge:


Backing of the front badge (sorry, reflective floors):


Front badge w/chrome plate on it(another bad pic, sorry):



After staring at the back of the car for a bit..I'm not even sure I'll stick the black badge on. I think beside the fact the car has a random circular indent at the back, it looks cleaner without it...what do you guys think?


Cheers
