A total lack of mechanical symphony, i broke the supra diff cover pretty quickly.
Decided to do something a little different & fit rota gtr's. 8.5j fronts & 9.5j rears et30 all round. Needed to convert to 5 stud. Rears were easy useing granny hubs. Front on the othwr hand needed to be redrilled. Luckly enough a mate it a precicion engineer
Need to get some shorter springs on the front to gin more clearence on the spring platform. Then ill be able to go for 235 35 18's up front
255 35 18's on the rear
Next job i to paint the rotas bronze

255's is going well; getting some decent rubber down there!
Would love to see a pic from underneath the back to see how close the inside of the rim/tire is to your shock - bit like you did for the front. Guessing it's pretty close?!
Cheers

Fart of the Purniture
I have 2wd Saff crossmember/rack/ARB/TCA's/steering knuckles etc & was told that Granada Cosworth hubs would fit the Saff steeering knuckles as it has the common bearing...
I'm clinging on to the small strand of hope that different mk3 Granada models had different steering knuckles and hubs much like the Sierra's do?
Nice Sierra by the way, real nice.

Car is STUNNING! Wheels look hard as fook as well! How do you get on painting in your garage? Do you get much trouble with overspray or fume or anything?? What equipment do you have?

Cheers. I just use a 50lt compressor with a couple of air dryers & a devilbiss gti gun. Does get a bit foggy in there when spraying lacquer but beggers cant be choosers. Any dirt etc can easily be sanded out & polished afterwards

Couldnt wait for the paint to dry before fitting whe wheels & stickers ☺
Next on the list if jobs is modify the rear arches to give the rear wheels a more central look. Something thats always bugged me about 3dr's. Well that & the offset on most 3dr rear wheels

Nice wheels, it's good to be different. I love a 3 door when the wheels fill the arches.

Them wheels look the absolute nuts! Always wanted to see some on a cossie and they look great shame they can't be bought in decent sizes in 4 stud

Im happy with it. Still haven't had time to fit the additional air & water tempsensors. Dont know how accurate the afr is as ive not had anything to compare it with. At very high speeds i wouldnt say its easy to read but then again nothing is. Thats when the data logging come in very handy. Also ive been able to send the data logs to stu@msd so he can make changes to the chip. Only thing stu really mentioned was the lack of being able to datalog 12v voltages. Fitting was very easy. With all the additional sensors it came to about £430
