    Before yesterday I had one panel on my car that was perfect. It had no dents, no scratches no anything just perfection. I went christmas shopping yesterday and obviously had to park in busy carparks… There is now a cluster of about 5 dents where someone clearly bumped their door of my car repeatedly:mad::mad::mad: If it was anywhere else on the car I wouldn't be very upset but no it had to be just there :(:(

    Woman tipped me €2 for filling her car, bought a €2 scratchcard and won €50. Like a boss.

    I have my car in the garage this week. Looking to get 2 new wheels put on to the car to make it a 6 wheeled car

    one additional one at the font in the middle of the current 2 and same at the back

    reckon it will add better performance and grip on the roads

    Are you drunk?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,902 ✭✭✭power pants


    no.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,728 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    no.

    Then draw a diagram, with details on how it's going to work.
    What side of the diff is the wheel going to be on? How it you work the suspension, how will you account for body roll?
    Details, man!
    This is a motoring forum, don't come on here with wild claims for a project like that and not back it up! :p

    basically it will just be 2 more 17" wheels glued to the front and back

    will use a stick shift suspension system imported from japan and as for diff -it will make a big diff

    body roll -I just wont crash it

    looking at around €3000 all in, depending if I go for the winter tyre package or not will be an additional €540

    Got a bit of a shock this evening. I went out to check my tyre thread depth this evening two front ok well above the marker and wearing evenly. Back driver wearing evenly out down near the marker passenger rear a good 2.5-3mm on the outside then good check the inside and there is next to no thread :eek:. Put then looking at it closer there seems to be only 1/3 of the circumference of the like this ie the rear of the inside is practically the same as the outside thread wise. It's the weirdest thing I ever seen on rear tyres.

    Also even ignoring this bad section the back tyres are worn more then the front. Even though they were all put on at the same time and there the same sh!t Chinese make so on a front wheel drive car I would expect the front to wear substantially quicker than the rear. I'm putting a lot of this weird wear down to fact they may just be useless tyres.

    Anyway ultimately looks like I'm going tyre shopping in the morning it will be getting bridgestones too. It won't ever see Chinese crap again as long as I have it there such a false economy and obviously don't perform as well. I hope to god it won't wear the bridgestones this quick as there is not a whole lot of miles on the current set.

    once you get locked into a serious drug collection the tendency is to push it as far as you can :D

    Aside form the fact it's in the US, won't you need a bigger license to drive that over here?

    Would it not cost a grand or two to have something that big shipped to Ireland?
