well another purchase arrived today in the post, thanks to Big Ian :D
the flow pipe is leaking slightly at the crimped part, so a wee upgrade will make a difference and look better than the usual black rubber ones :D

well i pick my calibra up this saturday and already have a list of things to do,

1. fit the braided fuel lines
2. fit drilled and grooved rear discs, along with new shoes, pads , full new fitting kit and a new handbrake cable
3. refurb the 17in BBS alloy's and fit new tyres (going for toyo T1R's)
4. fit the 3l lower divider (didnt get done last year)
5. purchase new stereo (again didnt get last year, ended up robbing the wifes kenwood out her astra )
6. change plugs, oil and filters

BARGAIN... :clap:

Over here, those tyres cost $860 or GBP580

But I do agree about the choice of tyre size 215/45 R17
