Dubwaydan can i ask have you noticed a difference in the way the car rides or handles with having strech tyres on the back
and also why you put wider tyres on the front and not the back. wouldn't that solve the scrubing on the front

I would like to know this as i plan to put 215/40/18 tyres on a 18x8 wheel on the front of my car so i can lower my car more. :happy2:

hi mate,

the only reason i put the 215's on the back were because the tyres had already done 300 miles and i want the fronts to last as long as possible (which are brand new)

the scrubbing issues are sorted on the front now, i have folded the metal lip on the inside of the wing all the way around.

i havent noticed any change in the handling at all, still need to test the tyres to their limits  :evilgrin: but not had any problems as yet  :happy2:

POORMANS UPDATE:

skint at them moment  :sad: so i have done a few poorman's mods...

swapped 215/40/18 from back to front to stop scrubbing..

lowered coilovers as far as they will go on the front..

removed supercharger cover and insulation which has given me quite a lot more whine upto 3000rpm  :innocent:..

and done a little modification to the rear lights as you can see in one of the pics below  :wink: i think it totally transforms the look of the car at night and only cost me £10 for materials !!!....

some recent pics..........






spot the difference?

its quite a time consuming job but thats just getting all the interior panels off to route the wires.

firstly drilled and sealed the inners with the new bulbs in.
then ran 2 wires each side to the 12v socket in the boot.
i then just found a plug for the 12v socket and wired the lights upto that,
it means they are always on when ignition is on but they go off once the car is turned off  :happy2:

i didnt have to use any resistors or anything like that btw its very simple.

Looks  8)

Been considering doing that inner light mod on mine wondered how hard it would really be.

Did you not think of doing the inner light mod like this though
