I would offer to lend you a set of wheels... but I don't have any that will cover your brakes...

Was it a particularly big pot hole, or is it easy to damage them with that low a tyre profile?

For the pothole, get a picture of it with a ruler in for scale ASAP, I believe councils are known to pay out on this sort of damage if you push hard enough...

 

That is a good point Chiark... mate got his tyre paid for but it took weeks.. forgotten all about it..

cheers nick

JGM i have driven over loads and no problems. This pothole scared me enough to react and swerve past it with the rears. IT must have been huge as i thought it had ripped my suspension off.

Will try and gets pics ASAP, as it was pitch dark when i did it.

Have a set of standard 16"s in the garage, but on advice decided not to put 2 of them on the rear, could cause diff problems?

Any how, i have gone for the ultimate power increase for my car..........



....I have come to work in Emmas diesel ford maverick, and let her drive my car to her mums and back, about 2 miles in total. Took me 5 minutes to tell her to drive steady re wheel and clutch, and i had to get it out of the garage for her. Its not as she cant drive, shes used to her jeep and a horse box and can pretty much get it anywhere.

My car will feel like a rocket when i get back in it

 

I should think your car feels like a rocket normally, let alone after driving that Maverick! I used to love taking my bike in for a service, cos they always gave me some complete dog of a bike..
got back on mine and it felt like a racer!

I am hoping I won't need to order a new clutch after towing this car this arvo....

wrt clutches....

how much power can a p1 clutch take???

ie: xbhp=breakage ?????

Thanks guys..

 

yeah...did the same about 2 years ago and the council did pay up for it but it took 6 months of pushing!!!
