check actual differece in diameter on: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

a knock on full lock only is common if really bad or permanent, get sorted @ decent tyre/brake specialist (Reno will prob. want £hundreds and fu*k it up)

as he said - by the time you add brakes etc. + insurance probs, best go for the real deal! or if insurance a prob, try chipped dCi (as quick as 1.6 16V)

P.S: offset on my 17's is 42, standard is 35-38, but I've done 30K + with no probs. check on here http://www.saltermob.com/wheel_fitments.html

very easy to swap - rolling diameter is very similar with 15, 16s and 17s. check out on www.miata.net (up to 2/3% won't notice difference) basically - as you lose comfort, you gain looks & grip (if avoid cheap tyres on new rims) ppl will argue all day over handling, but I'm happy going...

don't worry about that mate - your lucky if they remember to change the oil at Reno! seriously, they will not touch ECU unless you have a problem, Superchips will re-set for free anyway! ALSO, you don't have to go to Main Dealer for service to keep warranty as long as go to a VAT...

see PM

nice! that is so rare - fit birds in fast cars - LURRRRVVVLLLY BUT easy to find fit birds in bangers and old bangers in fast cars! ^^ last one is usually Mutton dressed as Lamb with overkill on the tan and gold bling

quote: "without any of the drama/fun" sounds great, but is it just too blinkin' refined? I love the fact that my Wife hates my bone-shaker - if I had a 197 she'd borrow it :-(

don't bother - ECU remap is undetectable. Mine fuc*in flies with K&N filter and SuperChips (80 to 110)

40mm on standard shocks is fine - I've done 31K since - still passed first MOT

apparently the Chavs hang out @ B&Q or Tesco maybe we should 'cruise' thro with a string of mint motors (but not stop in case the wheels get nicked) then go somewhere nice!

TOP IDEA! I'm up for a meet

I just fear that Reno have done was Pug and VW did over the years - bigger, heavier, more refined, bigger, heavier, slower....................then thay had to plonk a turbo on the Golf to get it back. 205, 206, 207 (bit fat lardy arse - the £14K GTi HDi is slower than my chipped 1.5) Golf...

phew - I thought they were balder than my old man!

that's the giveaway! my guess - no prep and one 'thick' coat drippy black gloss

0.5mm - 1mm tread - change 'em bloody quick! £1000 fine per wheel if caught under 1.6mm :-O me - 20K from Toyo Proxes - changed to Yokos P.S: cheaper to buy new set of wheels and sell old ones with part worn tyres new tyres were £400, so sold old wheels & tyres for £299 on E-bay...

The 182 Cup is the dogs - spend it on beer!

'professionally resprayed'? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230018842779#description my a*se they were!

get a dci 80 - same insurance as dinky petrol BUT 60mpg, 120 mph and sub 10 0-60 chipped with a K&N

Towcester, Wellingborough?? look out for me then - live in Towcester, work in Kettering

calculates difference in diameter between wheel sizes was a link on here - miata??

prob. the sh*t thrown up that grinds it all away ;-( mines nearly all on dual carriageway

Discontinued car - the ONLY late low mileage one in the country! why buy one with 70K round the corner, when you can buy one with 20K for a few £100more - £45 flight, £45 quid diesel!

^ ^ you need some advanced driver training. I don't hang about (100mph+ daily), but skid school, rally school, motorbike licence and advanced driver training don't 'alf help. Easy on brakes cos I rarely stop for roundabout etc. cos time merging perfectly...........

looks too 'cute' - needs a 40mm drop, 18" Megane Cup wheels, dinky rear spoiler

32.9 @ 95.9 pence per litre £20/0.95 = 20.85 litres 20.85/4.545 (litres in a gallon) = 4.58 Gallons 151/4.58 = 32.9 ;-)

NEW Front Discs & Pads (both original @ 41K) Reno - six hours to ring back, £252.90, next week Selecta Tyre, Kettering - 1 hour to ring back, £135.12, next day! So guess where I went?

I'd be chuffed with that! intervals of 12K/12 months continental garages often better cos servicing is about half what we pay, so ppl less likely to skimp

scratches? colour match (with crayon) and elbow grease -
