    It's the same vibe at any rpm in 5th and only when I'm off the accelerator but if I hit the clutch and put it in out of 5th a few times it goes away so it's just random

      Ok driving it today no vibrations at all so it's gotta be the oil not being able 2 handle it. It was 45 on the highway yesterday so at least it's a easy fix putting new gear box oil in

          Pretty conservative offset and width, but yes, they should fine. You might want smaller tyres though.

            Wheels, yes, tyres not with the plastic guards (need around -20 offset)

              Thanks guys thought they might be alright seeing as my standard wheels offset are 43
              They are just up the road so might just try them on just 2 check really thought they would be ok tho looks like there is plenty of space

                      how big a job, and bloody knuckles? Is it just a matter of removing the std unit and installing the Clarion? cheers

                        Installed it all in about 2 hours first hour was trying to get the old unit out cos I don't have the proper keys to remove it so I kinda destroyed the original unit lol no bloody knuckles or anything once the unit was out wiring was easy and works like factory and turns off when you remove the key

                        Just used a universal bracket and bolted it all back together. The bottom of the bracket could use a little trim to make it a little neater but I'm happy with it. Also have the USB cable run underneath the steering wheel on the little shelf so I can charge my phone and plug my iPod into

                          Got some new tyres today picked up some ku31's so much nicer and smoother than the rubbish I had on there. Next up is repairing and painting the wheels to clean them up a bit

                            Ok so tomorrow morning I'm taking my car out where my rx7 is and I'm gonna change the box oil 2 see if that fixes some of the problems also it only plays up when it's really hot and I've been driving for an hour from cold the box is perfect and having a hoist makes live easier lol

                            After that's done we are gonna throw it on the dyno and see what it's got standard before I start playing around with it and the fun begins
