What is wrong with the pass. handle?

thanks for the comps. . . a VR fella??? hahaha, thats funny. . . is there something behind that? are "VR fellas" elitists or something? i HAVE been accused of that. . . and i didnt deny it.

the passenger handle. . . well. . . both of them were off. both of them BROKE. finklestein braized (sp?) the passenger one back together. . . cause just the little metal swing-arm thing broke. . . the drivers side. . . well. . . i had superglued it back together. hoped it would hold. . . knew it wouldnt. so when it broke (which was two days ago) i took it back apart and plastic welded the handle back together with a soldering iron and some left-over ziptie action. while i was in there. . . i reinforced it like crazy all over the place. . . feels totally solid now!!!

yeah, and now theyre back on. . .

Great set of rims. I really like them because they are very similar to mine. Their polished look really stands well with a dark colour, just like mine.

Better still they are very easy to clean. Just make sure not to scratch them with a paveway.

Nice FD, I have the enkei LM 1 rims on my FD and seem to get alot of compliments from them. I originally had the rp01's but a couple of them got bent in a little run in with a curb, so i went with these.

Very nice wheels. Wheels without alot of bling go very well with an FD.
