polovr6man 8 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 What are the wheels all about? those stretched tyres aint all about go not show :sI know ha, think I'm going to have to get some proper tyres on them when its up and running, I've seen some road legal 215/45 semi slicks on ebay but worried i won't get them under the arches. Ill cross that bridge when i come to it lol Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I have 215/40 Federal 595rsr's on my car they are amazing, and cheap as chips Link to post Share on other sites
polovr6man 8 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 They might be worth a try, ill keep my eye out for a pair. Nothing interesting but a little update for my recordsJust bought a bolt in roll cage from Demon tweeks. Sparco FIA approved. Its a bolt in fitment so can be sold if everything ever goes tits up.Bought a rear strut brace for show as well (i know they don't do anything ha) Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 The one you got actually looks reallygood and I think they work. I had one on my old mk2 golf and when you reverse of my uneven drive all the rear windows used to creak with the chassis flex, but not after the brace was fitted. How much?
