I drove over the Samuel Beckett Bridge earlier, it was shaking like a mad thing

Always find it a bit freaky when it does that, feels like the car is rocking

There is a jeep with its front right wheel mangled, its on the bridge at the O2 and its holding traffic up as all the trucks heading to the port tunnel try to get around it.

New tyres seem fairly good.

@ that stage where they aren't gripping 100% yet as they are new.

Place where I got them fitted couldn't get over how little I paid for them.

Still after fitting and sligent redone I have 92 quid more in my back pocket.

A rear braking light also blew. Might replace both with LEDs and get some decent led rear license plate lights and some osram dims

Hey SG is your car canbus wired? If not I have a couple of brand new led number plate lights you can have.

The northbound tunnel was closed earlier, amazing how quickly the traffic builds up

Does it notify you of blown bulbs?
If not then these will suit

24 led :eek: they'll see you

I just put 24 LED bulbs on my car last night for the license plate bulbs.... Ended up putting vinyl tint on them because otherwise they were ridiculously bright, it was like a torch was shining on the ground for about 5 feet behind the car. :pac:

I have plenty of spare Vinyl if you need any Jim, it only takes a small amount to take them from too bright, to just about acceptable. :P

Wow, this is a Supra with a GT86 front.

I saw thy earlier, I usually hate front end swaps (bar Sileightie) but I like that!

Supergurrier

Nah doesn't notify me

Sound out dar. You still have the link for that Chinese tint you put on the rear clusters ? As if I put 24 led brake lights I'm guessing I will need some

The box might...

On a side note, Lamin-x.co.uk seem to have disappeared again.

Well a couple weeks ago it was up but not in the shade I wanted and on the us site they use a different colour grading system.

Also I'm obviously gonna buy two more packs of doughnuts for myself. Portlaoise is a long shpin

For any lights all you really want is the light tint anyway. Just want to take the shiny plastic look off them, well that's all I wanted anyway. :P

I used the Matte Black tint on that site for my rear LED number plate bulbs yesterday, seems to have worked nicely. I have pics but my imageshack account just lost its "trial" period and I can't be arsed signing up to imgur/photobucket right now.

Also as per free imaging site I opted for flicker. Seems decent

Plan and a half

Emm can anyone explain what look like sparks coming from exhaust?

After sustained full throttle last night I let off and I immediately noticed a Couple of sparks come from the rear!
Thought it was very odd! Could be to do with heat build up in the exhaust or something, getting really hot?

Could be bits of carbon breaking free maybe. Does it have a dpf?

No it was removed, I was thinking maybe it was just build up in the exhaust breaking free?

Absolutely scared the beJesus out of me!
