was that on the same brand of tyre same suspension setup? both being 195 would mean same amount of contact patch on the road. 16s would handel better due to smaller sidewall movement.
as between the size its only 1.02% difference in rolling radius so would be 1mph faster at 70mph on 16s no no...
few questions regarding these
where can i get the oz racing stickers for them?
what size was the original tyres on the 172 f1s?
what sort of prices are they selling for?
will fit ok and will make the ride slightly harder and when the speedo reads 70mph you will really be doing 68mph
you could go to 245/45/17 and it would be .5mile out but then it could make the car start to tramline with wider tyres.
just got my hands a set of oz f1s cant decide on a colour anyone good with photoshop?
could someone photo shop a pic of my car with f1s on in different colours please??
is the bulb fitted correctly? most of the cars ive moted with no pattern is due to the bulb being fitted upside down.
get it set up at an mot station on a beam setter most places charge around £16.
unipart or euro car parts there about £15 each also get some lock tight for them. for the price would be worth replacing the track rod ends too and the boots then get the tracking done.
national tyres are doing 4 wheel lazer aliment for £14.50 if you get the voucher of there website.
i bought...
60mm drop will not cause the shocks to wear out any faster. a shock is designed to work at any length if the shock bottoms out at any point or at full length the spring is loose then they will need to be changed to a shock with a shorter piston.
a normal lowering spring will normally be 10/15%...
i will be keeping an eye on the failer rates over the next 3 months see how the new items change things at the moment the national average is around 35% a month over the last year mines normally around 30% ;)
for that price could get a custom one made not just a cut and shut 182 manifold
there is an off the shelf manifold available for the k4m k-tec use to have them listed on there sit (cant find them on there now)
i did buy a 2nd hand manifold was told it was a raceland but cant find the info about...
theres 3 mounts on under the batter one on the drivers side wing and 1 at the bottom at the back (dogbone). i had alot of play in mine and found the drivers mount conpleatly snapped off.
i want to upgrade the dogbone bushes with new polly if available like the 172/182
had it before on the ford pushrod engines here the plug bot faces brake loose from the plug thread.
also where people have somehow cross threaded the plug or fitted the wrong plugs so the socket dont fit
