    There isn't much of a swear filter on here. Also Mint has a thick skin, so if you like you can say "having stretched R888s is a shit idea" or "stretching R888s is fucking pointless", but whatever your view it's hard to agree or dissagree if no one but you knows what the hell you mean. It's a forum for open communication, not just randomly blurting out your feelings in an incoherent way. Think of the readers, then think of what the readers will think of you after they're read "fcuk this gay earf"

    Also even if "F'd in the A" means "fucked in the arse" that doesn't in any way relate to the tyres, fitment or anything else.

    I say all this because I think other people's opinions can sometimes matter, and it would be a shame to ignore a post from someone who was a tyre engineer at Toyo, for example, just because they can't write.

    :) haha brilliant. The front Bridgestones are PISH! There coming off this week thank fuck.

    For the first time, im more than willing to admit, i chose to do something, which seriously screwed my car. Thankfully I still have my RE01's to put on the front :)

    I now bottom out 5-7 times on my daily drive, and arch gap is MASSOOVE and she understeers like a pillok ;)

    Holy shit dude, relax.

    I'm not a tyre engineer, nor a pro drifter - my opinion is fairly worthless haha.

    Just sayin i didnt feel the stretched triple 8s, albeit in a roundabout fashion.

    LOL. This is like a clown car. Those sideskirts don't fit, front lip is getting worn away to nothing, rear diffuser looks like it's been attached with pritt stick, and what the hell happened to your rear screen?

    Love those R888's though. Very nice.

    It's like 130hp MAX! lol well slow for a 1.8 lol. Ok I think some of is are going over the cairn o mount so will probally see you there.

    As for the rack iv no idea.. :/ em the diffuser was for a FD3S. I just made it fit, got it off the bay for around £160 iirc. I can get the link if you like?

    It turned up with a small crack but it's not too bad.

    Just fitted a new HKS filter my other half got me for my birthday! So cool to finally have a decent filter and not a and me down haha.
    Also I smashed the lip last night. Pile of junk.

    Standard lock is pretty decent on them actually. If you see the picture in my avatar, that was more or less full standard lock. Though of course more is always better. You don't get a whole lot of extra thread to play with on these so maybe a spring washer with good thread lock is advisable.
