    Did your new inlet manifold make any difference?

    Yep got it done yesterday. The car is driving great since. Very happy with the service from Clareview Motors in Limerick. They made my day by giving me a 500 to use when the 159 was in.

    Anyone know of any good tyre places preferably around the Clondalkin to Naas area?

    Decided to go with the Vredestein after reading up on them but your man I know can't get them. Can buy them off Oponeo for 568 but then need to find someone to fit them would rather find somewhere to do it all for me. I know lazy but fcuk it.

    So basically what you'r saying is that my turbos are drinking my petrol, not the engine? Hmmmmmmm...........


    :D

    What do you get on cruise at 100-115km/h over a sizeable distance?

    At 100km/h for 20km + 10km backroads I got 6.1l indicated (46mpg). I never drive like that though, except these 2 times to see what's achievable.

    So these are the specs of wheels I'm looking. And I need to be certain they will fit...

    18x8 ET45 Front (tires: 225/40/18)

    18x8.5 ET34 Rear (tires: 235/40/18)

    The tires are just my best idea, but I can't be certain. How do I know for sure whether they will fit or rub in the rear, is the question? This is me looking at genuine BBS CK online, buying them and having them delivered. And getting a set of tires from Openeo or similar.

    You're not the first to fit CK's, you won't be the last ;) They'll be grand.

    As for tyre sizes, you're fine with what you have. IF you want, 8.5j will accomodate 235-255 and still look fine, but you want to lower the profile to 35% then. So 255/35/18

    OR, you can stick 225/40/18's on the rear too, they'll just have a slight stretch look.

    plenty of choice :)

    Danke,

    What about the 235 width, with 40 profile? Not sure I can get Matadors with 35 profile at that width.

    You don't want a 35 profile, especially with reps. ;)

    Speaking of genuine wheels, left in the brand new second hand set of Style 32's to be powder coated. Was going to go at them myself, the faces were actually in really good condition with small amounts of kerbing, but there was a fair amount of corrosion on the inside of them. Not working out that much more expensive to get them properly painted over just getting them blasted.

    I'll be spraying a set of rover wheels at some stage in the future though, so I'll write that up. They're not worthwhile getting powder coated.

    Oh I missed that!

    Last I heard was BBS reps.

    Good decision Alan, although I still think 35's are to small a tyre wall for someone who enjoys mountain drives. ;)

    @ Supergurrier

    There's a classic American car show on in Kilbeggan Sunday that should be of interest to you.

    Always a few for sale at it too. ;)
