shiro... i just notice ur honda rim nice lo... but ur nuts are normal one...
thief can easily open up (tempting..)... y not chg to those that must use special lock nut? cheap only.. around rm99 like tat can get one set (for all four rims)...
of couse still can steal, but less tempting liao...
wa.. still hv 600 xtra each month??? good la... like tat better save up and finally turbocharge ur car.
Normal nuts? Those things only weight like 600-700gms for all 20! They were very hard to find! Anyway, I park in front of my porch, and those dogs can really keep people away.. Woof! Woof!.
Summore, those nuts can be spotted a mile away if seen on another car. And that owner better be ready with some good answers if he's seen with them. Those nuts are not easily available, and they're etched with the specific markings.
I don't usually park everywhere, and I'm pretty much commonly found in specific places in kelantan.. And if anything on my car gets stolen.. no worries.. if stolen in the morning, by evening, I should probably know who's trying to sell of my honda part already, thanks to the local honda enthusiasts and chop shop network.
I use them because they are the only ones that are of the same colour as mugen rims. When you use them on the MF-10, they look like they are a part of the rim, not nuts. I'll show you pics when I mount them the MF-10 on my car.. Currently saving/earning money for a new set of tires for the MF-10 as well. Easy when you have two sets.. use one, save money to buy tires for the other set. then change, start saving money for the other set.. ROFL!
Turbocharged is fine, but unfortunately for now, the fuel / power is more for turbos (BSFC is like .7 compared to high power n/a setups, which are around .6), and FF cars can't really take anything more than 300hp (if you want to retain daily drivability)
220-250whp is more than enough already.. any more and you need to play with gear ratios and what not.
