Is there any body out there that can lend me some 17 inch xr rims for WSID tonight? a pair needed only.. for the fronts.. so no burnouts on them.. I have a mate with a set of MT's for the rear to borrow allready...
Also.. my tank is full of premium.. is there a plug/lug/bolt that can be undone to drain half the fuel out? tried the clear pvc pipe trick but she wont go down the fuel filler tube.. cheers for any help. |

Leave the fuel in it, it will make 3/5ths bugger all difference, it's lighter than water and if you take 20L out that's nothing and it not worth the effort,unless there is another reason
