:lol: I never speed! I try not to, the new Motorway section is so flat though you tend to pick up a little.

Got 185/65/14's. Probably just me remembering wrong. Who cares anyway, if I wanted fuel economy I'd get something else.

Also, what are you guys using to view those auctions? Obviously some sort of translator?

They pop up pretty frequently from my experience, but my problem is the same as yours - worrying about shipping!

Hah I was going to say that those "M Silent" headers are different from Maxim works ones but then I realise I have an NA8C no an NB8C... Anyhow, I like my ones 8)

Hayatonka does containers often, get a quote from them.

185/65/14 is slightly bigger than standard...

If you take the time to learn katakana you can read a surprising amount on Yahoo! Auctions. I can read a bit beyond katakana, but I use Rikaichan add-on for Firefox for complicated bits of kanji.

Silly question, but what does the brake cylinder stopper do? I guess as I'm asking, there's no need for me to get one :roll:

Firms up the pedal feel and makes braking more direct from what i hear they work!
