One for a tyre-stretch safety thread?Here's why the tyre came off: the guy was taking the piss. 18x11 and 18x12 on 235/40 and 245/40 is just daft. I'm surprised it's taken this long to post that, this must have happened ages ago. Like I've said, many times, stretch is perfectly legal and safe within reasonable limits. This is an example of what happens when you operate outside of said limits. That's what I've always said. So why you say I'd come and defend such a daft level of stretch, I've no idea.
My stance on the matter remains the same
You may now continue to mock and throw childish insults at me.
Oh, and as for that Focus RS

Taken from a poster on a Ford forum who went to Trax at the weekend. Evidently Lambo effect doors are making a comeback in "the scene" again, so this person decided to fit them on a Mk2 Focus RS
Not badly modified to be fair. Looks like the work has been done to a very high standard so no way badly modified.yellowjack said:

So I'm thinking - "That's got to be an OLD photo, surely, with a Datsun 240Z and a Mk1 Cavalier in the background?"So I checked. DVLA reckon the last tax for that registration number expired in November 1981. The car was first registered in May 1980.
The engine is a bit of an eye-opener, though. Registered as a black Jaguar, but having a 7,400cc petrol unit! That must mean it's a big block 454 cubic inch Chevrolet V8, running at somewhere between 390bhp and 450bhp in standard tune. Perhaps not so much "badly modified" as "utter genius"?

Nice budget "de-wipering" on the rear as well I mean why bother removing it completely and fitting a bung in it's place, when you can just cut (or snap) the wiper arm off leaving about an inch left Edited by AlexRS2782 on Sunday 14th September 23:37
