well, fifth gear was the replacement for Top gear, it originated on BBC, but after shit ratings top gear was canceled. so FIVE decided they would start it up again with most of the original presenters, they wanted to use the Top Gear name but BBC refused, so they went with fifth gear. BBC wanted to get in on the action so they started Top Gear up again with new hosts (except for Jeremy) and it came to what it is today. in reality, Jeremy carries the show, it would be nowhere near as popular as it would without him. Fifth Gear still remains a proper car review show, Top Gear is becoming a entertainment show based around cars, sure its funny but its about as informative as a WOW player teaching sex ed.

yeh ill be waiting out for this.

centres are in at the powdercoaters, going with gloss black. if anyone is interested, but would prefer a different colour i have a bit of time before they get powdercoated so throw me a PM.

the what?..

haha yeh nah, front end is probs gonna be stripped this weekend anyway for some work, GTR front bar is going on as well

fractured foot is keeping me out of this one, probably a good thing, lets me get my car back up to scratch.

work on ur suspension, takes a lot longer to get sick of ur handling then ur power.

alright np's, PM sent.

lol, delivery: $150 spacers: $150 tyres: $300 sorry, i cant afford to give stuff away, this isnt the price is right :lol:

bump

oh yeh, and i can post, but would prefer not to as if anything is wrong with the tyres it makes it hard to do a refund.

^^woops, didnt see that post before. better if you guys just PM me as theres a chance i wont see ur posts until its too late.

i think a lot of it has to do with the feel of the 2 engines, the 4cyl engines tend to feel more responsive (for obvious reasons), this gives the feel of whats sometimes mixed up with torque. ive driven a few CA's and SR's, and with less power, more power, or bigger turbo, stock turbo, they always tend to feel more "torquey" than my RB20 until u realise the revs arnt really climbing that quickly.

$200 seems to be the going rate with shitty tyres, thats what ive sold my few sets for.

f**king tempting, may have a R31 track car under build by then and could do with some testing.

crazy thought; u could post it in either the for sale thread at the top of the SA page, or u could post it in the for sale forum.

UPDATE: ok, so, basically i took these wheels to a powdercoater to get the centres powdercoated black. now somewhere between the powdercoaters and the blasters one of these centres has been misplaced, i have been sorting through this issue with the powdercoater for the last few weeks, and they have handled it very professionally. but unfortunately due to the price of these wheels and because they arent a common wheel, as well as being jap, it has become not economically viable to replace the centre. so basically now i have 3 full wheels (to have the centres powdercoated black) and one rim/barrel minus a centre disk. now im going to look for another pair in japan, but i dont like my chances, so im going to just sell them as is, someone can buy them as is, ill sell them for the price i think is reasonable for a pair of wheels, although u will get the spares which u can use, for maybe incase one is damaged or something. so please dont say, i dont have a use for the other wheels so i dont want to have to pay for them, i just want to the 2, as this is the price for just the 2, u can take them the others if u want and think u could use them. so for now im going to ask $700 for all 3 whole wheels, and the 4th rim/barrel. EDIT: i understand this is a bit confusing, when i say rim, i mean the actual rim, as in the barrel part, the disk or centre is a separate part as the wheel is a 2pce, this centre disk is the missing part. Item: Volk/Rays GT-P Wheels 17x9 +16 all round 5x114.3 i can throw in some tyres, i have a few different ones that can go on. Forged Disk/Face with spun rim these wheels are extremely lightweight, they weigh 8.8kg which im sure for anyone who knows, is extremely lightweight for a 17x9 wheel. These are a perfect wheel for track work as well as just looking good as they are very strong and keep unsprung weight down improving performance a lot. Age: I beleive these were constructed around 2002, not sure when they were sold etc Condition: Excellent, cant remember any scratched on the rims, and certainly no bends or buckles etc Price: $700 These wheels are a touch under $3000 new without tyres, considering these are in new condition and come with good tyres, the price is more than reasonable. To Fit: Most Imports use this stud pattern, cars without this stud pattern include S13's and non-turbo Skylines (besides the type-s) These WILL fit S14/S15/R32/R33/R34/RX7/Supras etc etc the offset and size will fit on all these cars nicely as well, wont need much guard work, but will fill the guards nicely, none of this +40 bs. Location: SA, will post anywhere Contact: PM me Comments: All 3 will come powdercoated, 4th will just come as the rim. oh and they come with centre caps etc. Pics:

they have gotta be one of the worst wheels ive ever seen. ^^that guy went down to under 17k, so most liekly went for around 16k, which sounds about right. ditch those wheels and u will have more interest.

raising the text size does nothing to make it easier to read, we may have to pull experts from around the world to decipher this one.

no, do not do this. super lows are too low, they take the ride height well below the recommended height and make the ride very rough, pairing them with stock shocks is just asking for shit performance and shit ride. i run lows, good height, good spring rate for street, i run them with bilsteins now but have run them without, pretty shit roll control, but better than stock.

what exactly do u mean by this?

oh man, u just imported a car and ur worried about a chip that size? man that car must be f**king imac if ur so worried about something like that. u would have cried if u saw what my car looked like when it came off the boat.

lol

thought it was grand turismo racer?

but they didnt so who gives a shit? sounds and looks f**king awesome, looks more like my kinda car
