I haven't - the garage have, lol.

Aye, it'll be tight me getting there, but I'm sure I'll manage it, I've been told not to go by those that care, I'll just be very tired, so apologies if I'm uber grumpy!

Drag one of your mates along with you so that you've got company and someone to talk to on the long drive down.
So where are you flying back from.

Never managed round 6, was stuck for 24 hours in New York. A few bits have been done over the winter, still having issues getting the wider wheels on, more arch rolling required,


Managed to get some pics uploaded from phone.

New wheels 17x8J Rota Force with 235/40/R17 R888 Tyres
10mm spacers rear, 8mm front, extra length studs and rolled arches. Still need to do a track day to test arch clearance before I can sell on my other sset of wheels.

Theres a firewall plate thats secured over it all and makes the boot flat.

The wheels are sort of ok for regular driving, but under more load they do rub a bit so more arch work needed.

Cheers

Still more work to be done on the arches to get the wheels running properly, need an arch rolling tool if anyone knows the solution.

Also getting these fitted as the OE system is a bit dodgy know the release is welded onto the roll cage.

Also holding out for some lucrative deal so I can afford a race spec engine/gearbox/clutch lol......I'll keep buying my lottery tickets

Yes entering again this year all being well, just waiting for the entry forms to come out. Will have to sell on round 1 though as I'm away with work then. 2nd round will be tight too bur should just make it.
Trying to get a bit of testing in before hand but reckon 1st time I'll get out in the car since Brands will be Knockhill :(
