following a thread on the griff forum, i was wondering how many sets are on now.

mine went on in july last year and was kit no5...

the waiting list was supposed to be six months long, so how many on, and how many waiting?




worth the wait...

...and then there's the brakes

Looks good, what did you do then ? How much did it cost ? I could be interested at the right price

The cost wasnt too much as my father did some of the redrilling,but basically I have used Granada Cosworth rear hubs and discs,Modified.This gave the added benefit of upgrading the rears to 273mm.I changed the hub,bearing carrier, discs, calipers and brake pipes.

The front have been redrilled to suit and have 283mm discs,and Granada Cosworth calipers.
The wheels I dropped on for £200 and the rest has cost me about £600 more for the other bits.

I fitted all the components myself,after all it isnt rocket science.

I now have to get rid of my OZ's to get some money back !!

good job there by the way anthony.

standard = 225 f 245r x45 x R16

pressures are normal 22f 24r but i run mine slightly higher as toyo sidewalls are soft. 25f 27r.
(i used to run my bridgies so3's light 20f22r as they are stiffer)
