A few shots of my new / second hand wheels with virtually brand new Toyo Proxes T1R's tyres curtesy of a Fellow Tvr friend I found on Facebook,, thanks Andy : thumbup:

17 in rims all round with
215/40 fronts
245/40 rears,,
No spacers and a perfect offset,
Very like the original wheels so I like them very much smile
I've raised my ride height a fair bit recently, for road use its been working very well,

Need another full geo now to maximise my new tyres, wheels feel strong and solid as tyres feel nice and compliant,
Sorted I'd say, get my other wheels re painted and fit some summer tyres, bobs tour uncle,,, life has its small pleasures which you should revel in, wink

And I have no idea why? You'll just have to imagine them,, haha,
I'm waiting on a call as too some free garage space at my mates place,, 4 wheel geo, set up ride height/ camber and tracking,,
Has anyone experimented with taking the rear toe out a little, I'm also thinking of adding a tiny bit more camber,, if that all works I'd then even try plying with front toe ?? I'm slightly concerned I've got a loose bush or front anti role bar joint knocking whenever I say go off a Curb on the N/S front,, just a faint tap ?




See if this one works !

They look nice Alun! Maybe you should lower the front a tad to get the rake?

Its for my Megasquirt ecu MS2 to MS3 upgrade I have planned (if I get the bloody time) its so I can fire the fuel inj's in sequence rather than 4 at a time like the standard Lucas system scratchchin for improved low speed drive-ability and control and more complexity irked

Yeah if you click on the pics they should work,,, it's an illusion Oly,, or the fact I reversed in, raised the nose and squatted the rears a tad,, I've still got a bit of rake although the car is now abmittedly a bit to high.
