Kenshin's Rice Rocket

[dorifto]

Duy, you'll notice three things with the semi slicks: a) road noise is now very audible, B) sidewalls are super stiff and c) tremendous grip. Remember though, take it easy in your first session and make mental notes on how much pace you can carry and watch your braking lines. Being a Tampered Day, pace yourself so you have enough room for clean runs and watch out for idiots; always bound to be 1.

Lastly, don't lower your tyre pressure too low from the start. Yes, our rolling diameter is the same but that doesn't mean the tyre pressure is. The extra inch in tyre sizing requires more air to inflate the tyre, correct? Now if you put 28-30psi in the 16 inch tyre then it'd be comparable to 26 (ish) psi. I would recommend, 32psi and go from there but it is your call, so it's your call.

Good luck man

thanks mate i'll keep that in mind... yeah i'll see how i go, i pumped them up to 35 psi warm yesterday so i'll let pressure off as i go along on the day.

on to some pictures...

Still 2 kgs lighter than the stock rims... not too bad... :)

Picture taken at dusk

i don't think pictures really do justice for some reason the colour doesn't like to be photogenic on photos also i think i'm going to loose the blue nuts and get black ones. they look very out of place.

It is also coming from other country because of DHL

Inside you can also see plastic foam..Which car part require plastic foam for wrapping, i dunno

RAYS MS-01-S rims 16x7 +35 offset 5.9kg powder coated satin black with genuine rays centre caps and stem valves

Wedsport Black Chrome Nuts (thanks to Xploshun)

Alpine IVA-520E with Bluetooth module

While I found my old Pioneer unit still did the job, I thought i needed the bluetooth as I'm always picking up phone calls on the road. I'm beginning to get over pulling over the side of the road to pick up phone calls. So the Pioneer was shifted to the wife's car, which made her very very delighted. 2 wins for me :)

Evolution 4 SR3 Recaros

I totally regret selling my red SR4s so picked these mint seats up for an absolute bargain! Comes with 2 testicles for lumbar support as well!

Genuine Toyota TTE Spoiler (thanks to Kebab Performance)

OK. So the wingtips were moulded on but the person who did it did such a crappy job, they started to crack and flake at the joints. So i got rid of that and purchased this one. This ones a heavy weight at approximately 6kgs. Looks a hell of a lot better than the C-one wing tips thats for sure. Like my sexy left hand? :D

[d.n]

back in the game duy! mods are looking good!

wheels look better black!

[Trickey]

How much were the rims?

They're going to look great by the way :D
