Can't be arsed with it now, as you know it all, I forgot.

Vsop remi is not all that, it's just what you see in hip hop videos
Your another one that doesn't read what is actually written.

I'm learning everyday, if I appear to be a know it all, it's probably because I've been around a bit longer than you and lived quite a full life thus far, all I ever do is pass on my experience, if you want to translate that into me being a know it all then that's your choice.

It's a forum and it's for discussions which for me are based on my life experience from actually doing stuff because that's the kind of person I am.

Yes and they can be a bit lardy to drive compared to 17 and like I said earlier, some folk use 40 profile on 17s for that extra but the 45 will give more give and more controlable and better absorbed on road

Lol, they were 18's with something daft like a 35 profile and I think the guy at TSL where I bought them from, put 215 tyres on them with an 8.5j rim, never liked them and was a waste of £1500 but like I said you live and learn.

Lol They had a 40 profile on then I think and still didn't like them but as with them on the classic I wasn't going to bin a set of brand new tyres so just put up with them for a while then swapped when I could afford to.

Part of the reason I don't mod very much, Subaru put a lot of R&D into both versions and set them up right imo with 16's for classic and 17's for newage, it's just the comedy brakes that they got wrong.

Pmsl, now I know the curborough he's on about. The one that fud and the rest just like to play on it, as it's not exactly a track now is it.
Ditchy you a pure comedy.
missed this one earlier, Showing your knowledge of motorsport Curborough is steeped in motorsport history and an MSA school, quite a technical sprint track too, admittedly not very long but it is good fun and not as easy to go as quickly as some may think, there's a lot that goes on in a short space that's not too forgiving if you get it wrong.

The driver in the video or the fact that the only evidence ditchmyster has to show case his driving/riding skills is an old photo of him attacking 1 of 4 corners on a track used for pedal car racing?

17s do feel different to 18s but not greatly when you have coilovers etc.
decent tyres is what makes the difference.
