what size tyre are you thinking of using on the front.. with a 15x7 wheel you are likely to have issues with front valence.. and perhaps even steering arms depending on the offset.. and the guards flared or rolled? trimmed valence? I htink 15x6 on the front might be easier.. will see if i can dig up...

Tony,

The ability to just have the camerra in the pocket was why i bought the ixus.. the nikon slr was a pain to carry around.. bags/lenses.. but it does make for beautiful photos for the inconvenience... will ook into the camerras you mention.. i'm about due for a new toy! :lol:

Thanks Tony.. after i took them i really wished i had brought a better camerra. All my pics are always taken with my trusty little pocket Canon IXUS55... you could do so much nicer with a better camerra and lens.. i just never use my SLR anymore as its film.. and that seems to be a vanishing thing.....

If you want fully rebuilt, straight and ready to go suspension contact randy willet (he sells on ebay as Oneoffive) he sells them as fully sreviced items ready to go.. generally wants a useable core.. so you might be in trouble there.. most A arms are damaged by people pressing the pins and balljoin...

A quick look at the results shows none of the lightweight E-types were running? Did they have their won event to celebrate the 50th? Normally adrian newey and a few others have some very quick E's in there. Also, what is the best place the LMT has finshed at the TT? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI...
