Carbon Fibre, I dont think a standard one would clear this to be honest. What sort of power are you putting out? had it on the rollers yet?

Lol, not quite got that far yet MOT hopefully in the next 2 weeks, I've got a few bits left to sort out on the rest of the car still, but the main thing is it runs and drives! As for power hopefully looking at somewhere between 130-160 bananas. How about yours?

Mine made 149 @ 7500rpm and 109ftlbs @ 6500rpm. Thats about my limit at the moment, im not willing to go anymore on a iron crank. I think its a great bench mark. Probably go for an all steel bottom end and a 5 speed box next winter.

Sorry got my numbers mixed up.. Iv got a set of Minisport Group5's that Im remaking in carbon for my car, and they look quite similar to those.

What ever they are they look smart!

7's will fit under there no problem, my Spectrum 10x7's fit perfect

You should not have told me your making some carbon arches! Yes these are group 5 huddersfield spares i think now

[tvrdave]
