Good stuff matey. I hope you realise that when it's finished you're not allowed to sell it to anyone until I can afford to insure one!

Just picked up a second hand set of PS2's for the front of mine for Thunder Road after finding one of the dunlops has a rather nasty looking chunk missing out of it, not a good idea to try and stop from 160+ with bits of tyre missing lol

Did you notice the side walls are a lot softer than the PZeros ?

Hopefully my new tyres turn up Monday/Tuesday, may just fit the knackered fronts to the back for a bit of a laugh to send them off in a smokey fashion

True been p*ssing down all day here too!

Thanks, bit need to know is where the arch meets the bumper thats supposed to be the closest bit, with your lowered suspension should be easy enough to measure tyre to arch

IIRC thers not much in it
Roger takes the springs off and drops the car on to the stop bump
to make sure nothing rubs.

I dont need much, just a little little bit but need to know how much that is lol

If I buy what im hoping to and then fit and take the springs out and dont fit then buggered, so doing as much research as possible first before go any further.
