:roll:

Judging by the number of recent threads asking about fitting this that and the other.... :wink:

I'm considering building a front-wheel drive Elan with a V8 in the rear, which tyres would be best. :twisted:

Well I think rubber ones would probably be best but we would want to know if you would be using the wheels from your sons Mini Cooper :?:

I would have to strongly disagree there as IMHO a 70 profile would be far better then a 75 profile and the speedo would only be 0.026 of a percent out at 146mph.....although I think Pete should start another thread on the subject as we are getting thread drift here.
