Woo 15 pages. Not checked back for a while, what were talking about, something about cat litter scoops?

I have 17s on rota boosts. They look great and the nangkang tyres are good too. Just need new suspension all round

Did that happen whilst attempting to beat Tony Pond's 1990 Isle of Man top speed record set in a Rover 800 before Mark Higgins snatched it in an Impreza?

I always thought 16's were best for the classic? I think for track days most people have larger brakes so 17's are the next best thing.

My type r certainly felt better with the original 16's and sat at a decent height until I ruined it with 17's.
