  1. Yes, they will fit. Offset is ok, but the wheels are too wide for the front and you'll probably end up with bad tram lining. Fronts should be 8.5 wide with 235 width tyres... Some people do run 9.5s on the front but i'm not sure what the handling is like & they might catch the arch.. You might get away with fitting 235/245 tyres to the front wheels.
  2. I'm keeping the 5speed box for the moment. At least until 6spd Getrags return to sensible prices. It drives really nice with RPS street max clutch in & no problems so far!.. I did plenty of research into it and the 5spd box should handle 400bhp no problem unless you drive like a complete tool!
  3. I picked my car up last weekend after having the NA-TT conversion done and all I can say is….. WOW!! I knew it was going to be fast, but it’s surpassed all expectations!! The car picks up really well and goes like a rocket once the second turbo kicks in!.. Keron said that the car feels surprisingly quick and he’s driven plenty of them! A massive thanks to Keron @ Extreme Performance for a very professional & competent service . I was kept informed with everything that was happening including regular phone calls and progress photos. Keron even cancelled going to the Donnington show & gave up his Sunday to fix what turned out to be a bad oil filter seal. Top bloke! I’m over the moon with the car at the moment. I’ve already got all of the parts I need to go BPU but I think I’ll be leaving it for a while or at least until the weather gets better! Here are some pics; Before I left At the garage Pulled apart! Bye bye old engine! Old engine! New engine! New engine in Finished! After a quick tidy up at home!
  4. I'll take it ... PM sent
  5. Sound's good! I don't mind when the meets are tbh, it's more distance for me (if it's a week night). I'm liking the idea of having two monthly meets now that summers getting closer!
  6. If the meets at Owd Nells then i'm afraid I'm out (Dragons den style!!).. I don't get home from work till 6.30pm and Owd Nells is 80miles from me! I could probably make it there for 8.30pm but it's still a 160mile round trip and too much for a Monday night..
  7. The thing with the Z on?.. It covers the rear strut brace
  8. I was in a similar situation a week ago when I borrowed a friends uninsured fiesta while the supra was getting fixed. I phoned my insurance company twice, just to double check, and they said that I WAS covered. They said that the car doesn't have to be insured but they advise that it is because once you park & leave the vehicle it wouldn't be covered. I kept my insurance document in my pocket while I was driving just in case I was stopped I'm insured with elephant by the way
