    new rear tyres

    different tyres use different compounds, treads, rubber, different strength sidewalls; so will react differently. if you balance your axles with different tyres front and back you'll have 2 different grip characteristics. you run the risk of unnatural sliding. or spinning the car out. theroetically if one tyre needed replacing you should do both on that axle as running different tread depths on the same axle can have the same effect. if you want to do all 4 but money is an object then you have several options. neil on the forum sells tyres and offers a range but most interestingly is a budget tyre (can't remember the brand for about £60 a corner. alot of users on here run a mid range tyre like the falken 452s or the toyo proxies i think your looking at around £400-£450 for all 4. if you want to head into ultra high performance tyres some members are running Vredestein ultrac ssantas meant to be very good (got rated second place by evo mag, first place was the Michelin pilot sports i think) £510 if money is more available then the tyre of choice is apparently the michelin pilot sport 2. but i think your looking at about £750 hope that helps

  8. i'd get it done yourself at least you can choose the place for fitting, and know what the quality will be like. personally i can't see you buying a kit for £3k and i thibk you'll find your final spend will be between £8k-£10K have a look on ebay there was a turbo'd roadster up for sale with engine problems, just shows how easily they can go wrong if not properly fitted. good luck with the project.

  12. gaz i'm so sorry to hear this. i hope your wife makes a full recovery, farmer should have shot the driver at the same time would haved saved us all a lot of money. but being that vigilante capital punishment is illegal then deport the murdering idot. i'm careful on coutry roads when i see a horse, i slow right down and make sure i don't rev the engine. and then when they are passed i pull away slowly. i've never been a horse person, never trust anything without a key. but i'm sure the bond between rider and horse is as strong if not stronger than some people have with their pets.

  19. i've just done mine this week, feels odd to start, i've changed the way i hold it, but it does feel better.
  20. anyone want to part with there old pre-facelift smoked orange reflectors?
  21. these were the ones i used originally but changed them. to be hoest as long as the points are earthed out onto metal sections of the car its not going to make much difference.
  22. i think thats a more than suitable name for them
  23. rob talked about doing something with the original Zed badge, so may well see something towards the end of the year.
