1. Spend no more money on it (it is mint!) - except tyres
2. Buy a tow-bar or borrow a car with one
3. Hire a trailer (£30-50 per day/weekend)
and...
JUST DO TRACKDAYS!

Did I see an in-car video of that? And some photographer caught a great pic of it just as it was up on two wheels about to go right over?

Probem is that i have four 205/50R15's and two 195/50R15's
I was hoping to mix and match them and make a good set but thats that out of the window. May hve somemore 195's coming my way before the car goes back on the road.
Can I use the 205/50's?
Obviously they will increase the ride height abit and possibly rub, if they fit my wheels.
Id rather not say how much they were

My Paradas were exactly the same up at Croft... They got so hot and soft you could pull lumps of rubber off them with your fingertips!!
R888s FTW (or Yoko A048Rs) - but R888s (195/50/15) can be had for £231 delivered!

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
Bit of an update, I knew I wouldn't keep my hands off it for long. With so many 'stripping' projects going on atm, I feel the need to up my game a little. So on Sunday Steve (Anim@l) came around to help.
I decided there was more needless weight hiding behind the dash & in the heater, so out it came again.
Determined that this time the a/c evaporator was being binned we removed the scuttle panel & wiper linkage.
Then had quite a surprise. Yet more tar strips (very thick ones too) & yet another alarm siren.
Undoing the a/c & recirculation unit from inside & outside, we then had to whip the manifold off to give us enough room to get it out.
It weighs a massive 5kgs not including the fan itself, all totally unessisary so binned!
Have something in mind to replace the fan unit, Not sure it will work yet but its in keeping with the normal Burpspeed way.
This then left a massive 'glory hole' in the bulkhead (to be covered later) & revealed yet more of the enemy!
Heat gun out again & just under 2kgs of tar was now in the bin, along with the alarm siren & various a/c drain tubes.
Now the heater box was completely free from the bulkhead I managed to remove the last of the insulation. This little bit was over 1kg alone!
We also removed some of the lower heater box, a/c & heated window control unit & some of the wiring loom.
So a few hours work & another 10kgs in the bin.
