Kenshin's Rice Rocket

Recommended Posts

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

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

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 :)

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! :lol:

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
