Depends on how many points the numberplate is mounted on. If its four, ive seen little rubber/nylonish "tubes" that are about 3mm high - basically like a washer. Spaces the number plate off the bumper, with the added bonus of absorbing bass. They arent designed for this, im sure they have ...

So which one is the YB? Im guessing the one thats titled TURBO?

If thats the case then the Aus spec Piazza has the biggest sway bars, so the main issue is spring/spring rates?

Swaybar/Spring differences for Variants

Thought this may end up with some good info, Bugle probably knows where to find this shit. Here goes.. To my knowledge there were 4 different suspension setups availible on different variants of the Piazza. There was the soft and roll-pron YB Aus spec suspension, the Naturally Aspirated Jap piazzas ...

You wont hear the garnish from inside the car thoough, so it isnt a real problem. If it worries you just use some StikaFlek black - the hard curing stuff and never worry about it again. Unless you need to take the garnish off, because this shit doesnt come off...

If his intending on using the metal surface as part of an enclosure then yeah it will sound horrible. However, if he was to creat a smaller square/box that sinks into the wheel well and then opens up into a bigger box once its past the well depth then that will work well.

Cutting off the thread [29] wouldnt actually change the gearshifts throw. Modifying it where i mentioned early changes the mechanism movement - think of it like leverage, where longer pole = less effort. With the shifter, this would make less movement from the stick to change gear.

Make sure you take the sections with crowsfeet back to bare metal or they will come back out again.

Short Shifters

This is a pretty popular topic on Hotgemini at the moment, and it just got me wondering if it could be applied to the Piazza. http://img303.imageshack.us/img303/333/24070522239us.jpg http://img303.imageshack.us/img303/1270/24070522242pe.jpg In the gemini the rod is lengthened and a spacer is added t...

Formula for volume = L x W x H

where:

L = Length of box
W = width of box
H = height of box

Simple isnt it? As for the wheel well question, im pretty sure its done the following way...

Area of Circle x height. Area of circle is found by Radius x Pie^2

Wheels suit the car 100%, looks hot.

Any way to tell 100% wether or not a car is a formula holden pack? Im pretty sure mine is because of the ugly black lower skirt. I remember thinking how much better it would look painted...
