Nowt wrong with 38's but if I decide to go further then T4 is the way I'd prefer - I also can't wait for mine to be set up on current setup just to see what it can produce using an off the shelf chip

how you have just described that pete is how i think a car should make you feel everytime you drive it, i know my r5 gtt does the same. iv been in and drove the newer performance cars and they just dont have that feel of the old retro nutters lol

Steve, it really wasn`t mate, you`re getting paranoid now..

I had spacers on my rears and i had to get shut of them today as when i was hoofing it in 2nd/3rd it was eating the tyre wall when catching.. went back out after with them removed and NO catching now....

Doug, they`re 5mm Universal Spacers mate i picked up from Wheel Mania, they really make the rear look fat, BUT you can`t drive the car with anger because when it was was squating the trye wall was rubbing the inner arch...it`s fine if i`m just driving normally they don`t touch at all, BUT i don`t drive normally alot so hence i had to take them off today, the CXNs still fill the arch lovely and tbh with the spacers they were probably TOO far out for stone chips etc onto the rim.....

Doug,

You can see from this pic how far they were out of the rim, look nice but i think a tad too far....you get stones flicked up from the fronts you see mate.....

Doug, i guess so mate, never thought really, i just asked for spacers and they said 5mm or 7mm...

Only way i could keep the spacers on is to A. Drive like miss daisy.. B. have the arches modded which i`m not really into tbh mate..
