Well after having my loan money sat there for a couple of weeks i had to start parting with it :lol:

got my self an Alpine motorised tv headunit, and a ps2. 8)

Then i managed to get a nail through my back tyre, so i had to get a pair of new ones.

I decided to finally sort my camber and tracking out, so i brought a pair of camber adjusting bolts from demon tweeks, and my dads going to set it all up and his work tomorrow.

Also im off up to pod tomorrow and sunday so im going to be rinsing some cash up the strip! Need to get my 1/4 mile time down!

I think its cus you swap both tyres so they are the same tread and both wear at similar rates for handling etc.

Your car is looking mint twag, love the TV.
When your tyre got a nail in it did it give it a slow puncture or did it just burst it straight away.
One of my alloys has a slow puncture due to a nail but it has loads of tread left and so i don't wanna buy a new one, its a Pirelli Pzero 195/45/16. Does anyone know how much it is to fix a puncture.

Yeah im going to cover the sub box with vinyl, i have mage it so i can remove it in seconds so if im going somewhere rough i can take it out.

My tyre went down over night, you can have it repaired as long as the nail is not within a inch of the sidewall, which mine was. It cost about ?10 to repair at my local tyre place.

I think it is about 1inch so may be able to get it repaired, fingers crossed. Don't fancy paying ?50 for a tyre that i don't really need.
Mine stays up for about 4days.
Is it safe to drive with a nail in the tyre, or could it blow at any time.
