Yeah the main reason was just because I like smaller wheels on small cars + I know it'll drive fine. The arch gap is a bit vast lol! But if I had put bigger profile tyres on I would of lost the wheels. Could do with maybe some arch extensions and spacers to bring the gap down. But that's for the future, but for the moment I think it looks a bit like a roller skate and I kinda like that lol.

Actually don't think arch extensions would work looking at the back end with the doors & the bumper.

Well when I got back off my hols I had a recall letter waiting for me so its been in today. It was to modify the ECU something to do with the throttle position & fueling the guy said & they have been over revving in some cases. Anyway since I've got it back its great, it ticks over a little slower, my average mpg seems to be up a little bit. But the best bit is the stupid stupid on/off supercharger has a bit more on now so its not quite as stupid anymore. Its much better to drive I now have boost without having to kinda plan ahead for it, before if you say set off from a road end nice and steady without many revs and then put you foot down still in first you had nothing until halfway through the revs in 2nd gear, so you had to be aggressive on the throttle from word go which isn't nice. But now you can toddle about all you want and then it boosts when you ask for it. Much better! A good result & totally unexpected and best of all free!

Does anyone know where i can get an adapter for my gear knob? i need one that makes it into a grub screw fixing as the gear stick is not threaded. So it just pushes over then tightens up onto the stick with a couple of allen bolts & the top of its got thread on for the gear knob. I saw one on a customers car the other day but it just came with his knob. I can't find any may just have to buy a cheap knob that comes with one.
Cheers
Also I've had to cancel my remap today :Sulk: due to the fact I totally forgot that I had promised to pay for me n the wife to go off for her 30th lol! Still hoping to get it done before japshow tho so my trip down there may be a bit more comfortable.
Still its a sad sad day:crying:

Found these on eBay from a Nissan dealer all new for £18.99! These kits are usually around £100 - £150 on eBay & about £200 from the dealers. So its an absolute bargain. I did want the black one but its just to cheap to miss.
Its called black purple my neighbour has the kit in that colour for his juke and its not too purple in the day light. Cheered myself up a bit after having to cancel the map.
