    Default worst. friday. knock off. everrr

    4:30 on Fridays is usually a fun time, not fun but as in rushing home from Blacktown to Livo!!

    Got a call from my girl at work and she said I had a flat!! Ahhhh!

    I had three wheel braces under my bed but none in my boot!!! I had my jack in my boot but no jack handle!! I was cleaning last night and I thought I might put them in.. but didn't.

    The Council caretaker didn't have one, none of the guys had one, so I ran accross the road to tyre power to the old fella and borrowed their wheel brace... lol.

    I only had a 16" in the boot, the one I took off was a 15" so it was scraping like a m**** f***** the whole way home. I had to stop in Fairfield cause of a constant creaking and my spring was not in square. Damnit. I used a very long screw driver I had hidden to wedge it in...

    I'm now covered in sh!t.. Was gonna wear these jeans out tonight too. I'm about to go out the front and swap the 16" for a 14" so i'm not scraping, you should have seen all the rubber shredded off the mag tyre *cries* (my only set and first ever set of mags too)

    Ok ive had my rant.... Back to attend to the sh!tbox

    Rears are rolled that's all. No hyundai came with a 5x120 PCD so don't think it's wise to leave that wheel on.

    Mine was stolen from there, and two weeks later when I got her back and repaired etc, i had to get the guts to park in the same place again, as there is no other free parking so close to council.

    I now have a brinnahh-made immobiliser

    Thats weird, if i find the pics of the vn with the 19s ill post it.

    The first time I ever lowered it I had lowered fe2's, it was fine, lowered 2 inches no probs..

    Second time, cut the springs, 3 coils off, and it scraped mad on the 16s so i rolled the guards.

    Now i have even lower king springs .. rear guards are rolled, and no matter what it scrapes on 16s thats why i got the chasers for it..

    So you are saying the tyres are off the hyundai.. not the rim?

    Shouldnt scrape with 16's unless the offset is horribly wrong... *shrugs*

    nothing apparently, what a surprise
    That the automobile has practically reached the limit of its development is suggested by the fact that during the past year no improvements of a radical nature have been introduced.
