update time once again..
as the exhaust was to loud for me, it went back in the exhaust place yesterday and had one of there tiny silencers put in place in the middle section, still sits nice and high out the way, and made a fair difference in the sound, still loud, but doesnt sound ott now which is good..
had a few parcels arrive, some megs high gloss tyre shine as ive got a thing for shiney tyres
and a little something for when the wheels have been done..
also my mate collected my wheels last night, they will be back with me tonight with 2 new tyres (so then have a full set of new yokohama s drives all round) and balanced up..
just rang coilsprings aswell and my rear springs will be here middle of next week so have to get the wheels painted before then

just hassel to get the tyres fitted later on as my mate said he could do them there n then so i had them fitted, plus theres a chance of scratching them when the tyres are fitted..
done quite a few sets in the past with the tyres on and still come out very good
spent a few hours last night and a few earlier prepping them, only done 2 so far as i want them perfect

update..
spent a agonising (to the extent where my fingers started bleeding) 10 hours prepping my wheels, alot longer then i expected and alot longer then other wheels have taken me in the past but they had quite a few imperfections when looked at properly then i thought..
anyways there all refurbed/prepped..
just got me some filler primer aswell, will get the paint tomorrow or monday and get them painted
