Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Did you actually read the first page of this thread? :?

I replaced the tires and front shock tower, and since these pics were taken I've changed the front shock tower again to the earlier four hole type and swapped the TF8 tires on the rear for TQ21's.

I understand where you are coming from and that can be ok if something is added but when like in this case a person just types a question which is answered previously in the thread it doesn't appear like they are using, enjoying, digesting or adding to the information it just seems annoying. Especially as there are countless threads on the topic of part whitening and a current thread in which it is discussed.

Sorry I just don't like repitition. Is it just me or does it bother anyone else?

sorry for getting off topic temple ( good job really) but that search function is really annoying me also.
I can't even find my own posts with it half of the time while I am 100% sure the search words are in the thread title :x
