Aside from anything, i think your biggest issue will be sourcing tyres with 225 section, and a 40 profile. Rarer than hen's teeth.....

My t4 pulls like a b**ch really hard.What i do is take off in 1st pull a bit in 2nd so it doesnt spin and then i let it go in third and so on.The tyres wouldnt last five minutes otherwise and im still after more power lol.To be fair i think the 215/40/17s handle very well when the car is going (when it gets going) lol

Not after much more power, a remap is on the cards but its true what people say about FWD and anything over 250bhp is hard to put down or control. Would like to test my top speed out but havent found anywhere to do it. I cant afford this option as my car is my daily driver and with fuel costs im already pushing how much im spending on it, want to try these vredsteins, heard really good things. |
