- Thu Apr 19, 2007 9:26 am #6178 i got the 330mm wide by 160mm deap number plate - legal jap size as the 5-0 all know my car around my area so gotta keep it uber legal :thumbdown: :lol:


the price of the hamp oil filter was cheaper than shit ones that the local car shops sell so im happy with it.

you guys always pay less for things though :thumbdown:

i noticed the other day that websites in america sell rotas for like $450 which is about ?250

cheapest you can get rotas over here is ?325 which is about $550-$600
