Are those rear wheels road legal? :lol: They're looking a bit slick :D

(or maybe it's just cause of bad photo quality)

Ryzza5 · February 17, 2011

I noticed them as well - reminded me of some of my GT5 photos with slick tyres.

Excellent washing skills there Baldy

Did you use tyre foam though?

Thanks :) lol.

Don't use tyre foam, just a good old power washer. Do use some special treatment acid on the alloys though, makes them look like new.

1997 Peugeot 306 1.9 TD, with some slight adjustments (straight through downpipe, 19psi boost, up from stock 13psi)

The top speed of these is 110mph. Not because of a lack of power (hells no!) but lack of gears. It hits the rev limiter in 5th at 110. I've had it up to 105 once and it was still pulling like a train!

If only it had a 6th gear...

Ryzza5 · February 17, 2011

You need some of this, Baldy - you won't regret it - esp since your car is black.

Tires are always expensive :P I bought 4 new ones last summer along with new 17" rims aswell. 1000 €... xD Which is still actaully pretty cheap.

Sponge · February 17, 2011

Bless! The rear tyre replacement (including fitting) on my bike only cost me £65 :p

if i would want the same Toyo tyres which are currently equipped i'll be paying around €250 each.

but i'll be buying mine from outside the Netherlands since everyting is way to expensive here.

i'll be paying around €350 to €400 per set of 2 i think

the frint tyres are still good but they are cheaper anyway :D

RX_37 · February 17, 2011

Bah, i would never pay that much for some tires :D

The ones i've got are just over 100 € / piece @ 225/40 R17.

i expect to pay the price you pay for my front tyres since its the same size but i do need the right speed tyre. also my rear tyres are 245/45 R17 i believe i may be mistaken

My Dad drives a old ford mondeo and my mum drives a nissan bluebird sss I dont own a car yet i have to wait for another 4-5 years before i can even think about buying a car because our government is putting up the driving age to 16 or 17 when it used to be 15 and I was so looking forward to getting my license in three years at the moment i drive a bicycle and my own feet lol

Cool. :P

I ride a Lambo..... In GT5... Now on topic. Dad has a Toyota Celica ST205 WRC and mum and dad drive a Nissan X-Trail T31 '08

eXile · April 11, 2011

DJdan · April 12, 2011

Had to google that to see what it was :cheeky:

That sucks big time from where I'm viewing it of all people ;) I hope the M3 went to a good home!

Figure I should update this since I've posted a thread about it 2 days ago, lol.

1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T. :D

Nice! :)

2011 civic ex 4 dr

and not bad Hedge :) Very American I must say, at least it's a Civic though, won't let you down :btup

As for me I'm still rocking around in the Focus.

DJdan · April 17, 2011

well the guy was going to remove the SMG gearbox and turn it into a Manual 6-speed gearbox.

i have just recently sold the R32 and the X5.... well driving a V8 through the city isnt something i advise you to do in the Netherlands since we pay about €1.70 per litre just petrol.

so for now since me and my dad opened 2 new stores we dont have much time to buy new cars.

so for now i AM driving and the vehicle of choice is a BMW 320D Touring.

the car isnt very pretty but its purpose is do the messy stuff and carry crap from IKEA and other stuff.

so its kinda the "throw it around" car

Dan G · April 17, 2011

Removing the SMG is a good thing definitely :)

As for the Beamer, well, I can't complain, modern BMW "d's" are getting quicker these days though anyway! Ever since the E46 ones.

eXile · April 17, 2011

Bimmer when are you going to ditch that Focus and get yourself a nice 3 series :p

Ryzza5 · April 18, 2011

erm... when he can afford one? :D

eXile · April 18, 2011

erm... when he can afford one? :D

They are not too expensive these days + maybe he doesn't want a 3 series who knows :p

Dan G · April 18, 2011

No I really do :cheeky: But it's kinda hard to insure anything with bigger than a 1.6 at 19 years old :rolleyes:

I'd love a little 330Ci E46, that would be affordable when I've come of age, or possibly stick to a 4 door as I'd probably be a family man by the time I actually want one.
