To ensure that 195x50x15 tyres fit as that is the size that the 888's come in.

I'm sure that i'll have GAZ coilover on before i get to a track day.

I have bold tyres now on the TD's so need replacing. So i thought why not get my Cesaros referbed and fitted with T1R's with 195x50x15 tyres now. So that means raising the car. I can now go over speed bumps I'm not used to that.

Still the Cesaros. I only picked them up yesterday. I'm going to get them all cleaned up and replace the bearings, get some new gaskets from AutoVaux then set about fitting it next week... well if all goes to plan

i suppose you get quicker acceleration with a 4.18 diff but what kind of top speed will you be looking at? also how much are they and where can you get them

Yeah i am.... My own stalker. I feel posh What car have you got mate?

George, It just came up forsale on here.... so i couldn't wait and took it straight away.

Or you could try and get an F10 gearbox as they came with the 4.18 FD and remove from there and fit to yours.
