    Just to let you know that ArmorAll tire shine is complete garbage and will ruin your tires. my dad and sister used to use it and it actually dries up the sidewall and makes hairline cracks allover. We get vehicles in at work that use that crap and the same thing. Just lettin ya know i wouldnt use it.

    Thanks for that! I have noticed that using it on my black steelies makes them incredibly darker, which i didnt think would happen considering.. its steel.

    Hoping to get brand new tyres soon anyway! :D aiming to get ones as black as possible.

    Thanks for the info.

    peace

    Watch those chemicals on the wipes, most have a very high pH (strongly basic solution), that is what cleans up ovens and whatnot. That stuff will eat the hell out of aluminum parts.

    Stand alone, the one unique102 was selling a while back. I know that it is easier and cleaner looking to swap out the cluster, but I already have invested money in a set of white face indiglo gauges without the tach, so I don't want to go through the hassle of switching to another set or going back to stock. Plus I got the tach for cheap.

    Latest thing I did to the car was to convert over to red LED dash and LED map lights.

    Latest thing I bought for the car...well, TD06 20G, 38mm Tial wastegate, 3" downpipe, ATS bored fuel rail, 540cc injectors, Innovate LC-1 wideband controller with DB gauge, EMSPowered electronic oil pressure gauge, and an ATS fuel pressure regulator soon.
