im on 12's mate, didnt want 13's on mine, and wanted to stop without spending millions on brakes.

1.5 neggy would be nice, im at 1 degree 50 minutes, so about 1.8 neggy, 0.05 tow in. seems alrite, back a bit skittish though, need some coilovers on it!

1.5 works good for me. :techsupport:


I'll do the 'fat bloke waving lap' :dontgetit:


HAHA

What size wheels you running roofless & al? myn are 13's

Chain has stretched again hmmmm done 40 mile in her now! :thumbsup: getting her set up a treat! i did wipe the floor with a silly little corsa that was rather up my bottom in the testing stage today hahahaha!


I'm on 14's - chains will stretch a little - corsa's and 106 gti's are my favourite prey :P


Hmmm a good friend of myn wants to see the power against his 4.6 litre cosworth i said roundabouts bends & country roads il waist you but straights n start offs im dead!

hmmm chain seems to have stretched alot from no spacers to all of them!

is your cornering good martin with ur cabrio?

surprisingly well - the extra bracing weighs me down a bit but does make for a good stiffy. :thumbsup: rolling radius on my 14's is 6mm longer than standard 175-50-13's so not all that different.
unless your friend can drift the fat essex wheezer real good you'll beat him every time on a twisty circuit.

slighty lower at the back


No, back should ALWAYS be slightly higher than the front or itll be inherently unstable and unsafe! just a tip :thumbsup:
