ive borrowed a set of 17" masitaly vt7s off my g/f golf to see how my car would look
it looks fukin mint spesh with the drop its got any1 whos seen the car while mat or me had it will kno how low it is

my girlfriends car just went to direct line after being stolen to be repaired suffice to say they voided her insurnace for mods not declared
they said they would have still payed out if shed had payed them what was oweing for the mods shed fitted but as she is only 19 they wouldnt have covered...
prob best take it from behind ur head unit then orange is usually lights and red switched live (this is wiring on head unit btw )
a multimeter is worthwhile investment or even a 12v lamp to check will do

2l novas are ace my mate has one it cost him 2k
i cant think of any car for 2k thats faster, he ran a 14.6 at york narrowly beating jon by a very small margin
it really doesnt handle tho i leave it on the twisties
adi
i had he silver halfords one but mine had batteries temps could get upto 60 deg in traffic even bein 10 outside
couldnt really notice a massive diff in performance tho first startin off after it bein 60 deg was a bit sluggish but soon as u were movin it was as normal
mite get another cos...
rich haha he ran a best of 14.9 my 14.7 beats it easily
plus my second run was against the black rallye an i smoked him hehe ;)
i had jus over half a tank of optimax tried caning it on way there to use some up but it wasnt having it
adi
im sure my ph2 rims say et37 not completely sure tho cant check either cos i sold em
also sure my willy rims dont hav et42 wrote on em, cant check cos there not at mine either
not as tho 1mm makes a diff tho hehe
adi
clio offset is 37mm standard thats what is ses on my original valver rims an willy rims a higher offset wheel will be moved inwards and a lower offset wheel will stick out more
a wheel with a higher offset can be brought down to the correct offset by using a spacer
adi
haha they spelt my name wrong too t**sers
jons number was R95
i came 52nd out of all rwyb 1 behind jon and he was 1 behind me mate in the 2litre nova hehe
craggy came 61st an paddy 63rd
i came 8th in class C my best run wud have seen me in 5th

adi
17s look really good 16s are a good comprimise and you dont lose any acceleration on 195/45 tyres
17s dont affect acceleration that much my willy powered valver did some good times on 17s wiv the ap22 and traction was much improved over 15s
17s do tend to tramline on bumpy roads and i dont...
