Both are made in Taiwan (buddy club is now owned by a Taiwanese company), in the same factory. One has JDM tax the other doesn't. If your are originals then they would of been made when it was Japanese owned, in Japan.

The average 195/50/15 tyre weighs 8-10kg...so these are about 4-5kg each. There is a list onlne somewhere.

not really sure, im going to say the same as the buddy club p1 SF, they are cast, same as mine, im going to say approx 6kg, we will see when i change tyres, no poly mounts yet, waiting on that group buy :) ... and yes spacers for the rear are not high priority but coming

Steering Wheel and Coolant Hoses

Car has been poorly for a while, rusty clips holding the water hose finally cut through the shite OEM rubber. So got some bright blue hoses (I am straight ... i think), and now holds pressure, which is nice.

Also got rid of the OEM steering wheel, and put a harcore OMP wheel on. Looks miles better, plus now I am a bit more comfortable, still a few adjustments to go though. Mainly the gearstick, and how I can move it backwards :)

Anyway, enough babble, enjoy the pics ... yes i know the engine bay is dirty ... give a fuck

nice omp wheel, see how you get on with it - i got really fed up of a suede wheel as a daily lol

as for the gearstick, mine always seemed too ar forward so with the knob off simple heated it up (which was probably unnecessary) and stuck some pipe over it and bent it back! worked a treat

probably easier with it off the car or if you fit a short shifter. with gaiter back on looks fine too, wouldn't tell the difference
 
cheers craigo ... its slowely developing into a track beast anyway, and the wheel is sooo much lighter turning corners etc ... love it

with regards to the gearstick, think im going to get a short shifter, and get a shaft like Girv's .............. then a longer gearstick up to the heater controls or something :lol:

steering wheel looks well...what are these like to fit??

i put a shortshifter into the vzr there last week and the gearknob wouldn catch proper and kept coming loose and the threads are now ruined...:mad:

Looks nice, is it a 350mm one? what Boss did you get and does the horn still work :cool:

Thats one dirty bitch... you tempted to buy a SACC header? only £100 delivered :sweatdrop:
