looks great mate but needs lowering

[Rimski1688]

at first i thought ew....but now...they look good...defo need to drop it like its hot and it will sit beautifully

[Dragonmaster_uk]

thanks all for the kind comments the tyre pressures need a little tweek after driving it to work and back today and it will be lowered as soon as mot insurance and tax are payed up i will get some better pics up soon all i can say though is the grip is immense, the ride is slightly harder not really noticable though the car isn`t working as hard now which can only be good and from 200m away you can still see the lip gleaming so overall :D

Ooooh very nice, I wanted them when I had my Sierra, they look ace mate.

Car looks cool, Mate. Some very tasteful modifications to your K12.:grinning:

Least you tyres don't say premium contact with men now.

[Dragonmaster_uk]

no there now btc tyres anything you can do with that one ???
just been away from the car for 5 days then came back and i still think i got the wheel choice right not going to be much of an update for the next month hopefully i`ll be able to finish off installing the vibe front speakers and get started on the custom front door cards this weekend thats going to be all because it`s that time of year tax mot and insurance due hopefully i`ll come out with enough money to have the exhaust done properly then it`s time to get the jdm/scm front bumper sprayed and on and save up for some lowering kit which is going to cost a bit

r504vcs cheers mate i`m pleased with it originally it was going for sleeper look but thats kinda gone now i`m happy with how it is just need to finish off the bits now then i may get a nice photo shoot with it

[Dragonmaster_uk]

just checked the wheel nuts all still torqued up nicely after some hard driving love it may have a update tomorrow if the weathers on my side oh and i`ve just ordered some chrome wheel nut covers so should finish it off nicely

[Dragonmaster_uk]

i`m unsure about this at the moment so i`ve only done one side included a pic of both sides one done one not opinions please

oh and i should have a little package coming from japland soon ready to be fitted after the mot

[pjg1979]

They look great, what's the problem?

[Dragonmaster_uk]

i wasn`t sure when i first did it that it looked any good but it`s grown on me now

[pjg1979]

Have you got any pics with them all on?

[Dragonmaster_uk]

the chrome nut`s do you mean i haven`t as they won`t fit over the lockers
if you look behind the wheels one of the calipers is painted the other is not which was what i wasn`t sure about lol

[Rimski1688]

hey matey, they look ok...just that security nut stands out.

Anyways thats not why im posting, i once put some chrome valve caps on a car...they fused to the valves and i had to saw them all off! SO its all good in summer but in winter with the grit, salt and water etc it may cause you MASSIVE problems when you come to change a puncture etc...the valve caps seem to of fused all of a sudden within about a week...

just a thought!

thanks for letting me know i have known of it happen before when metal valve caps are put on plastic valves however in this case i should be ok because to let you in on a little secret the bolt covers are plastic so i should be ok :D

Wouldn't anti-seize grease prevent this?

[Dragonmaster_uk]

nah the metal of the valve caps expands quicker than the plastic the valves are made of so siezes up

back onto my car anyway a little game of spot the diffrence nearly happy with the back end now just the exhaust to do

please note all the pictures are new you will have to compare with the picture on previous page to spot whats new

[jim_bling]

[Dragonmaster_uk]

cheers kenny just wish i had the cash to get the exhaust made :(

thought i`d tease you guys with a few pics of my evening project for the next couple of weeks and my home made sprayshop
