35's are gonna give a real crashy ride i want cool wheels but still be able to thrash it and not worry about denting a rim or rattling my teeth out i may just go back to the old skool and get some 15" splits then i can lower it till the handles touch the ground if the mood takes me!
-
speedo is as accurate as the sun newspaper anyway! am i still going to have to take an angle grinder to the arches???
-
the tyre place said the tyre would bow in the middle causing it to wear unevenly and get poor traction dont really want to be hacking lumps out of the arches its not stupid low really perhaps 60mm lower than std at the springs id rather have more profile to have a softer ride i like the stretched on look but you dont get much protection for the rims! ill have to think about this would i get worse rubbing with the 215's as they are wider but still not as wide as the wheel? i suppose i can raise it then lower till i get problems then raise it til i dont!
-
g-man may be a help here im going to get a set of borbet a's in the above size my tyre supplier said that 40x205's would be too stretched and 215's would be better or possibly 205x45's any thoughts the car is lowered on coilovers and the arches are rolled having said that my 17" azevs catch occaisionally with 205 40's

-
since i brought my g60 the heater hasnt worked spent the best part of a day replacing a perfectly good thermostat!! but i found tonight it was the bowden cables they werent broken just been crimped too tight buy whoever had replaced them their held on by little metal clamps and mine were too tight so i wouldnt move over to the hot setting just need to replace them now!!

ive been scouring the forum for ideas as to what should be my next move ive got a stage 4 charger and 68mm pulley with a jabba chip im pretty sure my injectors need a refurb but it seems cheaper to replace them i have read that redtops are an overkill but g-werks seem to favour them. also im sure my fpr hasnt been upgraded to a 3.5bar item is this a must?? also oil coolers some people seem to have them others dont i did the filter the other day there doesnt seem to be any room to put the oil cooler sanwich plate in as well the filter is very close to the cross member (proper g60 filter with a nut on the top) any thoughts any price ideas would be very helpful i just want to make sure everything is how it should be before i go for a front mounted intercooler.
