Anyone know if you are allowed to tint you foglights (moreso for appearance, dont use them no more..)

how easy is it to install springs yourself??

also are kingsprings (or similars) stiffer then the stock springs?
Thanks

if you read further down on the page you included it actually says:

"Coil springs manufactured by King Springs.

Sold as Selby part number CMF93L
For your information - Cross reference to King Springs part number KMFL-93"

So pretty much king springs, in a different colour and different brand name by the looks of it?!

My thoughts exactly

I mean I'll have more then enough light once I get the HID's in, and well I could always just replace the bulbs in the foggies if I wanna use them...

Mad Mat · 06-01-2010, 08:50 AM

Lachlan · 06-01-2010, 11:18 AM

ive also seen it in super cheap auto, but cant remember the price..

Rupewrecht · 06-01-2010, 11:25 AM

Bunnings or Autobarn sell little repair kits with matting, resin and catalyst that are good for small areas.

70NYD · 06-01-2010, 12:53 PM

Whats better out of that lot

Brisbane_boy · 06-01-2010, 04:21 PM

does 3m do a kit??
if they did would deffnitly be a good quality.

Cosmo Dude · 06-01-2010, 04:35 PM

Another good source of fibreglass material is boating supply shops. Again depending on the quality of the material etc... check the price on the shelf. Some matting is random strands, some woven in double, tripple and quad weaves with different thicknesses.

Mad Mat · 06-01-2010, 06:41 PM

I thought that in QLD you are not allowed to put an engine out of an older model car into a newer one?
If you want more power import a jap spec 127 KW FS-ZE,
You must use the jap spec computer to unleash all the power so you might need a front cut.

Mat I would think so but sorry, can't verify it

front cut or chip the ECU. FC would be nice & give you everything you need but chip will do the job & do it well & be aot simpler (no harness socket hassled etc)

Finding someone will be the task but if you search diligently on forums, it'll come up.

there is a brilliant KLZE chipped ECU (probinator) for those wanting J-Spec performance in a DE MX6 for instance. All to do with correct fuel-mapping & VRIS specs etc

what do people think of this? springs and struts off a crashed car?
