    tyre size

    Have a quick google or Sarnie posted a link recently
  3. also dependant on spoke profile
  4. NOT TRUE the holes in structural steel are 1) to make components lighter 2) to use less material 3) to allow services to pass through

    tyre size

    Not a good combo I'm afraid fronts should be 255 35 19 on 8.5" to 10" rims = + 0.21% difference rears should be 285 35 19 on 9.5" to 11" rims = + 0.65% difference OR 245/35/19 on 8" to 9.5" rims = -0.85% difference at the front 275/35/19 on 9" to 10.5" rims = -0.38% difference at the rear Hope you're not thinking of using DP Motorsport

    tyres for 19"

    Neilp you are absolutely correct -0.85% difference at the front -0.38% difference at the rear you can't get much closer than that !
  7. What problems are there in swapping out a 276 ps engine for the later 313 ps ? Bonnet needs to be renewed with bulge version obviously but what about ancillaries such as radiator, ecu etc. and any idea of costs ? Would it be easier and less costly just to trade the car in ?
  8. 3 minutes ..... you're getting slow Ian
  9. +1 as a matter of interest ........... what is a firkindolloper ?
  10. Standard Rays Wheels Front Size: 18 x 8.0 Offset: + 30 mm Weight: 18.19 lbs Tyre: 225/45/18 Rear Size: 18x8.5 Offset: + 33 mm Weight: 18.62 lbs Tyre: 245/45/18
  11. I'd like to take a bit of cash for tipping (easy way to get to the front of a queue and good service) ........... is it better to take US Dollars or Egyptian pounds ?
  12. I met Ian at Cadwell this year ........... he was a really nice guy
  13. I got a new job last week ......... so now instead of designing schools, I tell other people how to design them ....... more money - a couple more days off - 10 miles a day less travel - and a job guaranteed for at least a couple of years so .......... it's a win win win win I'll miss the design work though
  14. I think I spotted your car outside the post office in Albert Street, Brigg a couple of weeks back .......... excellent view from where I sit at work
  15. Just booked into the above Hotel all inclusive for a week next month ........... I would be grateful to receive advice/comment from anyone who has stayed there or anywhere else in Sharm el Sheik for that matter
  16. Fronts will be 3.41% out and rears will be 3.62% out, so little relative difference front to back and therefore there will be no problem with the traction control ........................ However when your speedo reads 70 mph you will only be doing 67.5 ............................ Also the diameter of the rear tyres will be some 24.5 mm less thus the car will be lowered by 12 mm (possible clearance problems on steep drives/speed humps) ........................ In addition the overall gearing of the car will be lower which will result in slightly better acceleration However it will look bad IMO so I would advise you stick to standard
