VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Will do cabbs, and you keep your eyes peeled for some vari~focals for me coz at first glance I thought it was a merc. What motor is it then? Nissan?Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkMight be me needing the vari's pal coz the more I look at it the more it looks like a merc. Haha. Not sure what it is but think he fitted them shims wrong. HahaYes J the longest week starts today. I'm seriously impatient as it is so this week will kill me. Haha. You ain't got any 5 channel amps sitting around have you pal? Keep your eyes peeled for one at right money mate. Preferably an Alpine one as my system is all 80's retro ///Alpine.

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) I saw one on eBay a week or so ago, wasn't alpine though. I think it was under £100 too. I'll have a look and see if I can see one. Get pics of new wheels up pronto once you've got em cabbs, I'm looking forward to seeing em on.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkDo you know mate them old kenwood amps are quality mate but I'd sooner have a alpine one. I've got alpine everything so would sooner have alpine. It doesn't even have to be a big wattage one as its only gonna run replacement door, dash and maybe a set of 6x9's. Don't want mega banging sounds. Just nice crisp tunes. Lol. But that's kind of you pal to offer to collect. Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yeah, it's nice to keep it all the same cabbs. If you find one down this way, give us a shout, I don't mind collecting etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

c00k 435 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) I don't see stretch as that much of a problem my self.People go on about cornering and stuff with them, and the bead popping. I know people who have had this happen on normal tyres as well. So it just down to how the tyre is fitted. I admit stretch is harder to fit, so needs more attention to get it right. Plus look at jap drift cars, some of them run mental stretch, and they put huge amount of stress on the tyres when cornering. I run 185 35 17 on my summers atm, they are tiny. And I have 195 40 17 on my winter wheels. Summers will be going back on to 195 40 17 soon, and the 185 already used to loose grip under full load, and with more power I will go slightly wider again. So yeah wider tyres do grip better. But stretch tyres can corner at high speed so long at there fitted correctly. That's my 2 cents anyway.

Big J 283 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Some sound advice there mate. My concern with stretch is rim damage more so than bead popping but that's more to do with where I live and the local roads being country lanes. Obviously this isn't the case for everyone it's just my reason for not going mad with them. Link to post Share on other sites

Big J 283 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I like the P-zeros, good grippy tyre. Tad on the noisy side but good all the same. I really rate Dunlop sport maxx too. They are expensive but they were fitted as standard to the mk4 r32 and used to stick like jizz on a blanket! VR6CABBS and daveyboy 2 Link to post Share on other sites
