Understand why you weren't, but presumably that's why the bollards are there Got to better than driving into the wall! Tony, I think you forgot to paint a section of the floor!

So I'm assuming a tyre with a harder compound will be better to increase the MPG?

Don't want to loose me aircon so that idea is a no go Once I have the suspension/geo sorted I will be contacting wootty to see what he can do

Well hopefully that will change soon It's a shame the Toyo's don't have the wear of the Michelin Pilot Primacy but when I had mine they tramlined badly! The Goodyear Eagle F1 look good though.

Did Jammy get lost then! Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly then

I love the tyre, don't get me wrong it's the best I've ever used as I'd always been a 'budget' tyre person. However, when you only get 5000 - 6000 miles out of them it's a little dissappointing.

Thanks I'm going away on the 27th so plenty of time to fit them, hopefully

Why did you go on the M1? You only need to use the M25! Looking good Tony, when the electrics being done?

Just under 80 quid delivered When the centre is open, any chance I could borrow your spring compressors if I bring the struts down please?

I have the Toyo's T1-S...maybe they're me problem! They will need replacing soon and I won't be getting them again as they wear too quickly!

Tried posting yesterday but the forum was down? Camber kit arrived so just waiting for the new centre to open so I can fit them and then run it down to Tony for him to work his magic

I check my tyres all the time, once a week if I can. I did have them on 30psi and have since increased to 32psi. I did try a higher pressure but the car handled differently, didn't feel as grippy to me, especially on the front. Jon - are you saying the brand of tyre can affect it as well?

Cheers for the link Someone on MEG just mentioned something similar, bit pricey for me though unless I go for the lite type. Do you think this would be ok for manifolds? There's only about 3 - 4" clearance between the manifold and intercooler so want to try something to reduce the heatsoak. I may look at getting a custom stainless steel cover made, shouldn't need it that big.

Would the difference in fuel consumption change drastically? It's just that I've noticed I'm not getting as many MPG as I used to, after I lowered it and fitted the 17's. I thought it was just the wider tyres causing it but since I found out that on one side the camber is out I'm wondering if this is having an affect also?

I don't think this has been asked before but just curious to know. Does a cars geometry have any affect on the MPG....for example if the alignment was well out of spec I assume this puts more pressure/strain on the chassis and tyres driving them harder.

Yes it is, not bad for a camera phone photo I had a play with it in photoshop and the avatar is a reduced version of this. As for putting cossie vents in the bonnet I'm not too keen on them.

Looks like it is cast iron so I've forgotten that idea now, gonna look at getting a heat shield made up

Really like those mate, suit the car a treat
