B4VR6 193 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2015 Well I put 165/45/16 tyres on the front now and need to space them lol but all's good no catching at all. Now the down side. Had the fronts moved to the back and when the tyre fitter took the rims off he couldn't fit them on the front. As the spigot part of the spacer came with the wheel it had snapped off the spacer. So I have now had a refund for them and gone to another place to get some more 15mm hubcentric spacers. So now a pic with 15mm spacers on the rears and 5mm on the front with 165/45/16 tyres on the fronts and 105/45/16 tyres on the rears Just waiting for the orange caliper paint to arrive then I can paint the calipers.

c00k 435 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Dodo juice is amazing, I've used it on mine for last 2-3 years. They also make a purple haze pro, Blue velvet will also work well on your colour car, And smells even better than purple haze. Edited May 12, 2015 by c00k B4VR6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

And can in the worst case melt lol. More often they just distort. So metal short running intake, or some type of metal intake is needed in my opinion. But lots of people see this as an upgrade anyway so it not really a down side , just extras cost for initial set up But yeah they do make more power, mainly down to variable valve timing.
