It says it's a carpet...then a mat, which is it? false advertising, probably a good idea to go to the small claims court.

i put my bare feet on them last night. They do feel like walking in a house. I will fit them and test out the non slip later tonight. Thanks for all the kind words.

in a bid to get internet street cred back on my side after fitting the balloon tyres, i had some runners at work so got them fired on to the front wheels.
more internet approved size as they are 195 45 15 yoko s drives. so i now have a mix of balloon tyres, and internet approved size tyres for the front. will probably just leave the back on 50's till i get hold of some 45's as runners.

floor mats fitted. people have been u2u'ing me for pictures of them fitted so there they are at long last. the non slip bit is a fuckin lie.
awesome balloon tyre anti scene mod pic. not sure you can tell 100% from last pic, but basically the car is now sitting sort of level in height front to rear. this really isnt all that good. its causing the front to lift a lot more under acceleration. will raise the back end up about 30mm in the week.
then me and slick messed on with his prelude turbo. its been about 6 months, maybe more since it last ran. started no bothers. slick was never really all that happy with the way it was set up with the turbo kit so began the slippery slope to modifying stuff.
set of evo injectors
removed the random 5th and 6th injectors and control box etc. it was also on a rising rate fuel pressure reg, so that got removed, a blank for the std reg on the rail was made and it now runs an adjustable fpr.
old standard prelude injectors out. after that, slick and johnny were messing on with ostrich emulators and what have you on a p13 ecu to make it mapable. will get more done on it next week as it needs a few things changed.

and thats a really rubbish video of my corsa in 3rd to 4th gear. it now sort of grips a hell of a lot better in 3rd gear than it ever has.

the back tyres are pirelli ones. i have some yoko a539 runners to go on it when i need to change them.
its not a 1/4 mile car. its a regular car. it needs tyres that work on a day to day basis.

jackd car up before to see if i could figure out the paly in the front passenger side wheel. found out the play is coming from the top mount itself. will have to see if i can get a bearing for it as theyre about 70 quid each to buy new. will have to sort it by next week or wont be able to get the mapping finished. lovely.
