Fitted my new (used) Federal SS 595 pair of tyres (and dodgy Zetum pair) 205/40s to my 17s. Previously had rooted blue streak stilletos on there (215/40)

Hopefully painting them black and fitting tomorrow!

All four are buckled LOL!

Though they balanced OK so meh I say, meh. Stockies on there are buckled anyway :lol:

Gonna be so uncomfortable to drive on stiff, low springs with 205/40R17s.

For future reference, found out that my 17 inch wheels are 17x7 + 42 offset. Needs 225s on there!
I fix cars.

Finally got round to fitting the boost gauge, only problem is the supercharger isn't on the car at the moment so for now it's pretty useless but at least it's a job done.

After only a year I finally soldered in the alarm I installed over a year ago, but I was lazy when I installed it and only twisted and taped the connections...
Lazy I know...
So today I soldered it all in, and shortened the wires that were far too long.
I also replaced the fuse that was inside of the alarm itself as it was blown and the lights wouldn't flash when the car was locked/unlocked.
All in all it took a few hours, but was worth it :)

^ It wouldn't surprise me if It has something to do with that.

Although could one of you guys check and see if all your pulleys are in a perfect line?
I'm pretty sure my P/S pulley is pushed further out than everything else.

Covered the drive in auto transmission fluid pumping out the old crap and putting in new fresh stuff. I normally just drain it from the sump plug but this time decided to pump it out of the exit pipe while putting in clean red fluid and got out so much more and a lot of crap but did make a bit of a mess, oh well.
Still waiting on a couple of AN fittings so I can fit the external trans cooler and then I will relax about the autobox.
