Yes, I didnt think there would be much difference, but found out the old ones were 10.7kg each, plus the 18" run flat which weighs 9.8kg. Pure rotating lard.
Anyway this is the look I am going for, with "works" written where the "gt3rs" is. I think it will look good and not tacky, as long...
they are all a bit ropey to be fair, thats why i got them for £180, but all the tyres are toyo proxes t1s and in good nick so not bad. i sold the old ones for £550 so have plenty to put towards the refurbishment.
i know the orange idea isnt to everyones taste, but once its done i can pretty...
well R53 JCW Cooper S has 210 bhp against standard of 170 bhp
R56 JCW Cooper S now has 211 bhp against standard of 170 bhp
The Mini Cooper with JCW kit has about 130bhp against standard of 115bhp
This is quicker than my 182 was, noticeably when you get into 3rd gear upwards. In my old...
cheers for the comments, the wheels are 40 offset compared to 52 before so they sit wider. Track has been increased by nearly one inch which is defo noticeable.
Just cant wait to see them painted up orange. Going to get "works" done in an orange decal just like the porsche gt3 along the...

amazing selection of motors there. seems like people in the US give less of a crap what others think and just go for it. over here people like to play it safe in case someone else thinks their car looks like a shed.
think the b1108 i was in a black vw touran going opposite way to you so you wouldnt have seen me. was picking up some wheels from barford. car looked immaculate fella.
So many not in the know about mx5's.
Had a 2.0 one as a courtesy car when my 182 got written off. Put the cup pack 182 handling to utter shame. Yes they have a hairdresser image, but when you can go flat out round roundabouts and long sweepers and feel totally confident, you realise what...
its amazing how so many people just **** it off just like they did the 197... at the end of the day all the cliosport variants have got progressively better. Remember the looks have to last a few years so they will take time to get used to.
The 197 is awesome, and this will just push the...
lol at this thread! not being funny, but they dont exactly look like modelling pics. arent birds supposed to wear something sexy and put make up on at least.
