    MAZ1s for the front then, £116 a tyre... 225/45/17

    wouldn't be too bad to do the same for the rear... I can do them in 235/40/17 and 245/40/17 too. 235s are actually a bit cheaper, and the 245s a bit more

    Lol I want to swap back to a bigger tyre because it fills the arches better and I want more width for grip.

    The 40 profile dropped my car another 12mm and looked weak in the arch

    that'll be all your silly bodykit nonsense stopping you going low enough I love the 215/40's on my S14, they hardly ever rub! Something stickier than feddy's wouldn't hurt though....

    Its my sump that's the problem not the kit

    Iam swapping the tyres and then slamming it a bit more. Although I have to remove locking collars to go any lower lol

    weak, sumps are gay like that. You should take advantage of the easy access you have to heavy gauge steel to make a couple of burly skidplates, then you'd have one to sell........

    I'm taking the collars off the front of mine this weekend, i have a feeling I'll be bored by the time they're completely unscrewed

    Mr Evilchap, are you guys selling tyres to anyone now or just locals?

    I did make a sump gaurd but I took it off and never put it back. Lol.

    Do you mean a sump gaurd or a battle sump with 6mm plate bottom on it?

    I know what you mean about sumps being an issue, when my engine comes out I will be making it shallower I think.

    Also, you're right, I know how things are. Give me a shout when you're ready!
