    15" Tyres

    ive been doing some more reading, narrowed it down to the c drives or the potenza 001's, both the same type of tyre, Rhin0o8, why you say stick to the 205's? the 215's will look a bit better and offer a bit more of a contact with the road

    optima D34 battery

    it means that if you reach the limit of the alternator (standard is 80amp) for pumping out to ancillaries you will not have to run down your battery....just a thought... i know a lot of 4wder's who run a larger alternator because they run a lot of extras and it just saves you having a battery...

    optima D34 battery

    if your planning on a stereo that large and requiring an optima calcium cell battery, maybe getting a 100amp alternator is a good idea as well, just means that your not always relying on your battery so much.

    Help building a new PC

    LOL 500watt PSU, i would never use one, for how much a quality modular 650watt PSU costs, spend the extra, end up with a much more stable current, therefore a better life expectancy out of your parts in relation to the quality of the power. A generic PSU at 550watt will not be the same as an...
