Re: Toms kit (now rev2 tubby)

Thankyou :D

I didn't know how it would look with a fifty profile after taking the gamble I quite like the look and stance it has, it looks great in the flesh.

17" staggered enkei circlars

I have now put my 16" split rims on the tubby so these wheels are now no longer needed. Fronts are 8" wide and rears are 9" wide,all four tyres have loads of tread on them sadly mis matched tread but in all honesty never felt out of place when driving it either softly or hard. Tyre si...

Rev2 splitter

Up for sale is a rev2 splitter in good condition for year, £20.00 collected as don't fancy packing it for postage due to size and don't trust the couriers to deliver it in one peice. http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc410/phil0078/mr2005_zps2830291b.jpg http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc410/p...

Re: Toms kit (now rev2 tubby)

Finally got my wheel inserts back from the powder coaters, I was expecting them to be a bit better finish than what they are so won't be getting any more work done by the company that did them. http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc410/phil0078/059_zps06e796a4.jpg http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums...

Re: Does anyone use 245 width tyres on 8" wide wheels

I currently run 245's on my 17" wheels on the rear but they are 9" wide and they look spot on not stretched neither baggy at the side walls,how do your tyres look on the rim.

Does anyone use 245 width tyres on 8" wide wheels

Just waiting to get my centres for my advans back from the powder coaters, then I will be in the market for new tyres.
I was going to buy some 225/45/16 for the rears but don't know how well it would cope with 245/45/16 on a 8" rim

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Re: Universal car windshield aerial

Buy an internal amplified ariel and set it up in the boot, I brought a cheap ariel and removed it pretty much as soon as I fitted it as it was rubbish.
Spend a bit more and get a reliable one :thumleft:

Re: Toms kit (now rev2 tubby)

I made a start on the wheels over the weekend,stripped them down and 160 bolts later they was apart. There was a bit of kerb rash on some wheels so after thinking about how to tackle them i decided on the angle grinder :shock: So of to work i went with a medium sanding wheel attached to the grinder,...
