Thanks Lee! The 215/35 series is fine on a 7.5" wide wheel but is a bit stretched on my 8" wide wheel. That and the stiff sidewall on the Goodyear F1's makes for a bit jarring ride. Perfectly fine on my smooth roads here but perhaps a bit unsuited for roads in the UK as I understand it. I have 225/35 on the gray car and the ride is much better.

Hey Rick how are you matey! Nice to hear from you; thanks for your comment -- especially from a guy with a crackin' RS. Absolutely love your car.

Next up for the red car is an Exedy Stage 1 clutch and a Torsen ATB diff to be installed in the coming week or two. And the custom upper and lower grilles.
