    Do I need power steering?

    A friend is going to lend me some discovery alloys for a hour or so this weekend scan see what it is like without PAS but with bigger wheels. Looking forward to trying some radials too, keep the opinions/advice coming though!

    I think it's a dealer that has had the wool pulled well and truly over his eyes, anyone that knows defenders could tell from 100yards always it's not what It says it is, not even one of those "bits of this & bits of that" ringers

    Serious Soundproofing for a 110

    +1 for second skin, the spectrum, is superb & can be sprayed on through an underseal gun too, The spectrum sludge is ALOT thicker and needs troweling on and spreading, Both dry after a few days to a substance not unlike bed liner paint, very tough but denser with great acoustic properties, used...
