Cheers, its on a V plate cos its a late registered motorsport shell car.

At the moment it is T34 running on Siemens blacks with all the usual associated bits at around 350+ bhp.

Ap 6 paddle clutch with Reyland hydraulic clutch conversion (best mod yet !)

Comp MO's 10" rear and 8.5" front on 888's

GGR 3" stainless exhaust.

378mm 6 pot AP's are on order for the front cos the standard brakes are dog shite !

Running a standard diff and it has been absolutely fine so far. I'm sure it will decide to destroy itself one day tho !

The amount of grip on the back end in the dry is unbelievable on the 265 wide 888's so i reckon it's gotta be worth the risk.

Wider rears are fine, so long as the rolling radius of front and rear is approx the same. It's different rolling radius front/rear that fucks 4x4 diffs.

Fronts are 235/40/18 - 1960mm TRC
Rears are 265/35/18 - 1968mm TRC

Only an 8mm difference in Tyre Rolling Circumference so its close enough for me !

lovely car m8 so so mean looking, are the headlights slighty smoked or is it they just look that way from the pic angle ?? the only thing i would do if it was mine is sort the rear badges out, to the small turbo escos places as you have small turbo mirrors on her.. but its up to you shes your car and she is a real beauty

The headlights are just standard mate - must be just the photo angle.

I've tried to look into all the motorsport / lux spec stuff to find out exactly what the differences are but it is a proper grey area ! Did not care that it was motorsport when i bought it cos i knew i would be swapping bits anyway !
Its got opening rear quarters which the motorsport ones aint meant to have so fook knows what sort of hybrid it is !!!

Yissir i LIKE that. Just the right amount of shady/moody for a white Escos IMO, and some proper j on the back wheels

Ready for 500 Reyland horses with that (awesome) spec as well

Koni shocks with Ahmed springs mate. Shock cups have been cut back and replated flat on the outer face in order to clear.

Fronts are 8.5 x ET18
Rears are 10 x ET25

Ditch the Reyland sticker and it'll look great mate, not a fan of the super wide comps but you went for the right colour I think
