Cheers mate, Pain in the ass but it looks like its going to be well worth it, specially as i was quoted $1.2k for the same job. Was meant to be a bit smaller in size as its mainly for quality but eh what the hey. If you can't tell from the pics the sub goes in the right and the amps in the square there just showing the top.

I know it's a bit ghetto, but have you thought about putting a tube in your tyre till the replacement arrives??

No, But thats a good idea. How bad are tubes compared to the tubeless? That saves me having to worry about trying to get the tyre here this week specially with the public holiday.

They don't balance as easily, and depending on the damage to the bead, you may need to drive a little easier on that wheel, but other than that they should be fine...

jesus you've spent some money on this car mate! Looking great though!

Lol yes, saw that.

I have nitrogen in my tyres too. I'm not sure of the benefits either, I certainly haven't noticed any difference but then again I'm not that well tuned into these things haha. As you said $8 can't hurt much. Only downside is I have to go back to Bob Janes, can't check pressures etc at the petrol station and so on.

Hopefully see you on Saturday.

Hmm well took it to another place yesterday to have a look and second opinion and they said they would glue it up and give that a shot. Its holding pressure. Not sure how comfortable i am with it though. May still look at getting it replaced.

Nitrogen is larger therefore less leakage, More stable than air with heat and that and some other stuff but not much i guess.

Will see me sat :) Hopefully with the sub box ready and the rims good to go (for that day)

Yeh I understand about the heat theory etc, just that I've never actually noticed any difference ;) Maybe if I tracked the car...

The plans yo have for the car sound great, Can't wait to see when it is done.

Your bora is pretty clean, what model/year is it?
