yo pete

should be mate , these Rl7 are all just 8"x17" et 25 but the toyo tyres are wide at the top they are lot wider than a 245 road tyre... ive had to lift the back end up a bit by about 25mm because they were rubbing on the arches when i had to 235/40-17 F1's on never had anyprob's with the arches or the wheels these toyo's must be equiv to a 255 road tyre



the car in the flesh looks so much better these mobile phones not much kop to get a good pic but anyway alot better now

to be honest rich in the wet they are shite ..lol...any standing water it will just aquaplane ......you wont be able to turn the steering wheel

i drove to liverpool to see jc last yr and it was raining very heavy .. i was on the M6 i couldn't go over 50mph in the inside lane because i couldn't steer out of the ruts ........... theses HGV soon weardown the motorway .... i did eventually get over to the second lane that was a bit better but still was worn


i have had r888 for the last few yrs these are the second set

good in the the dry tho no dowt get a bit of wheel spin but atleast they try to grip saying all that ..........im going back to road tyres for the winter fook these lol never again

alright pete

yea he mapped it about 8 months ago could be more , he estimates about 450+

2 things i really love about his mapping, 1 the off boost driving and the part trottle so smooth and pers like a pussy cat ..

comes on boost quickly aswell im not waiting too long for the full boost

seriously you cant beat an enternal wastegate gt30 for an everyday car use its so refined over the T range , the way you get boost early low down and then still comes in harder as you go up the rev range

i would say that my turbo compaird to the T range would be on par with a T38 but without the lag 2.8k-3k im on full boost

I have posative boost even at 1,200 rpm seriouly no loads but makes the car drive brill feels like high comp engine
