Hey, he asked, i gave a reply....... Dont mean i dont like them, i mean i PREFER the SLs......sheesh......

yup, but why?

They pump out more power, simple....... the CanAm series was wiped by porsche when they ran their 3.6 1000bhp+ turbo AIR COOLED monster.....it also set the fastest ave speed round, cant remember, taledega or michigin.....or something. Anyway, the new vettes are good, but if your going for a...

prefer teh SLs

huh??? if you increase offset the you will move the WHOLE wheel inwards. WHich means the outside will move away from the arch and the inside CLOSER to the shock. you checked shock clearance?

the C5 and vipers are in no respect representable of the general state of US cars. Firstly, their chassis and running geometry has NOTHING in common. And they are certainly not representative of ANY 60s & 70s muscle cars. Fanstastic on the strip they may be, gorgeous to behold and a...

is it catching on the front or rear? is it a MK1 or MK2? if you decrease the offset the WHOLE wheel will more out more, increase it and it will move IN more.....simple, you cant more the outside of a wheel without moving the inside.

laymands: decrease the offset too much and you move the centreline out further, leading to increased forces acting on the steering from outside forces.......i.e. you will fight more with the wheel. A few mm is on, but wide wide wheels are a no no.

noway!!! they are totally overpriced on there! if you go to machine mart i know you can get 97% pure stuff in 5 gallon tubs......

cant you get quick drying paste form kryptonite in halfords?

Thus increasing scrub radius and SAI offset. Which will lead toa more fighty steering wheel and a less precise steering effort. ideally you would want to expend the TCAs and increase offset so you bring the steering axis into the tyre centreline. But thats me being anal lol....

Mycroft?

no, im still a plain ol member, but i should have a red/blue/yellow star for being the best and having the msot posts and taking up the most bandwidth LOL! Yea, 320 quid a set of compomotives!!! steal!

The weight might not of increased but youve moved the moment of the majority of teh weight furthr from the spinnig axis....or the spindle. Thus its got greater inertial forces. The increased offset will REDUCE track and your grip is comming from a wider tyre and larger contact patch.

They suually rub on an inside lip just infront of the bumper edge if its rubbing on the actual wing, you can get a felt covered dolly and tap it gently till its flat and the lip aint there. For the BIG lip in the arch, a big hamemr then hammerite after its out the way.

Just thought some people might like to know, fapping cheap! http://tas.uk.com/may_offer_wheels.asphttp://tas.uk.com/may_offer_wheels.asp

then add 6 lol......

i can hear mine banging under the handbrake..........sounds like a shed.....ill sort it when i have a jack.........to lift the car that is :confused:

unfortunatly you were driving! The side exit systems are under 200 so not the worse, but will need a bit of modding to fit yours, cant remember if the length after the bend is perfect. Give their manager a call.....

Ditto mate, my system is now gently rattling the heait shield with the occasional bang as the idle jumps a few rpm....REALLY REALLY annoying!!!! And i cant be arsed to get under the car! lol

depends how bad its rubbing......check how much clearance you need and add that to the offset you got.

funny how its a msg to rhys but there are so many people reading it!! guilty......I, never!

huh.....you only got 2 wheels!!???

use the gaskets if they arent burt bu put some fire gum or HARD exhaust repair putty on each side.

Youll need a few parts if you cant adapt your std ones. Fuel rail, manifold, a suitable potentiometer for your spindle, management, you can use the std pressure reg, all the small bits to fit them like air filters and trumpets. How long are they? space is a premium so you want the smallest...

no THIS would be COOOOOOL!!! http://www.tramont.fr/showroom/renault/retwin.jpg

a sequential box would make a diff, but teh 6K it would cost could be spent of far better things. 6K and you could have a 320bhp NA engine......

if your on a budget do it yourself.....

true, early ones are poor, the bedford autodrome ones had a problem with teh lower dash fallling off mid corner! lol still the ELISE is a good car.
