    Tyres size on 18's

    Just wondering for those that have 18's, What size tyres are you running? I'm currently running 195/55/16 tyres. 16's (55 profile) 16x25.4 + [(55% of 195) x 2] = 406.4 + [(107.25) x 2]= 620.9mm 18's (40 profile) 18x25.4 + [(40% of 215) x 2] = 457.2 + [(86) x 2] = 629.2mm 18's (35...

    For Sale Forum

    I have noticed today that all the old posts are being brought back to the top asking if they are still for sale. Can we not just delete posts that haven't had any replies for a set period. (like a month) Someone that has just put a new post up (like myself) now will find it on page 2/3...

    Clear or Smoked

    Right, the first mod that is getting done to the N16 is getting rid of those orange side repeaters. Only thing is, i can't decide on Clear or Smoked. Car is black. Opinions please. Cheers

    Work in Progress Pics - Center Console

    Here's my latest project for the Mera. Not quite finished yet, still loads of sanding to do and then the buttons have to be relocated to the bottom of the console. I'm trying to achieve the factory fit look. The screen will be hooked up to my PS2 which is currently in the boot.
