I was recently contacted by the guys at DIYAuto.com to see if they could feature my car in one of their build threads, sure no problem I said. Nick from DIY Auto sent me the link to the page and it is a filtered version of the build without the replies from everyone. I have put a link to it ion the very first post of the build thread.

Here is a link to it also:

Really handy to flick through it and not have to wade through the hundreds of replies.

On another note my build hit 300,000 views the other day, thanks to everyone that has looked and continues to look. Its been a bit stale on the building side of things as I don't currently have a garage to do any work in but soon my mega garage will be built and I will start on a few things again.

Winter Fettling......

Now I have somewhere to work on the car I have started ordering a few things in, first to hit are some new tyres. This time I've gone for Avon ZZS 245/50 R13, I think this is far as I can go with tyres in my arches, fingers crossed they dont rub.

The new Avon's are the same rolling diameter as my old Toyo 205/60 R13 (572mm OD), I am hoping the sidewalls are a lot stiffer than the old Toyo 205's as they had a lot of tyre roll.

Here are a couple of side by side views next to the old Toyo R888 225/45 R13's:

I'll let you all know how they turn out.........

Good question and yes it does a bit, not masses to the point where you feel a huge difference as the old 205/60's I had on in the beginning where the same rolling diameter.

I went away and used a gear calculator to show the difference between the three different tyres I've used.
