Can imagine it now, scoob with a massive bonnet housing a V10.
Great drag machine a sh1te through the twisties
It'd be very clean though with a tenners worth of washes

well i went and bought a white wing from a 97 import today for £50
had a small chip on it, which i could repair easy enough, just needed a good polish and wax
cleaned it up and found its got loads of little ripples and dents all over it
not sure what to do with it tbh
i might get a dents bloke out for a quote on the one thats fitted at presant, sure he could remove the dents and spray a small section in, would save having a full wing painted?
would have been better of giving a homeless bloke £50

Cars clean at the moment and the 2.5lt has yet to be proven.
Think I'll save me 2 quid
Maybe give me money to Mickey, cause I'm feeling sorry for him

does anyone know which 17" alloy wheel and tyres are suitable for fittingto a "classic"
im looking at compomotive MO 7 x 17
and speedline 2018 competition 2 7 x 17
just wondering if they clear the 4 pot calipers??
also I understand tyres for 17s have to be either
205 x 45
or
215 x 40
but will other 17 tyres fit???

2018 wheels are GT1's but in magnesium that means a hell of a lot of money per wheel
Go for the 2113 road version which should be available in 17's.
Classic tyres are usually the limited range 205/45 or the better choice 215/40.
Some people fit 215/45 with absolutley no problems but may effect speedo readings according to the blurb

215 x 45 hmm
well the car is slowly but surely being converted into a dedicated track car
does that mean I could fit R888 toyos in this fitment
http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...d=m12b99s685p0
closest i can find is 235 x 45 x 17
or
http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...m12b0s697p1598
or 235 x 40 x 17
I am not sure these will be right??

I have a feeling that I may stick with 16`s because it is so difficult to find cut slicks in
a subaru fitment.
If I get compo MO`s or speedlines Comp II in 16 x 7 size - do you think they will be ok with the 4 pots??
thanks for the help richie

Should clear the 4 pots, remember sometimes the offset may be right(ET) eg 45 to 55 on a scoob, but the spoke design is more important in clearing the caliper.
Compomotive and Speedline have been long associated in producing designs for scooby fitment

not sure if it helps, but you can run 215/45/17`s on the jap cars as they dont have the bigger rear arch lip cover thingy bobs
well they fit on mine fine and thats the reason i figured they went on ok with? (does that make any sense, it doesnt when i reread it lol)

Also if its a Type R it should not have a plastic wheel arch liner and should clear with 215/45/17, just like Micky said
Had 215/40 on my Type R and still had loads of clearence.

If its for a track car, a smaller overall circumference(sp) would help your accelleration, it would also lower the top speed, but since you will be hard pushed to get over 100ish you wont be looking for that.
At croft, I was getting around 110 at the end of the straight, before having to brake hard for the corner.
For a track car you need suspension, tyres, brakes, and acceleration in that order.
Just my limited experience - i had the tyres(pirelli RSsomething, ask Alyn) and brakes(AP 6pots), and reasonable acceleration, but it was always the suspension that let me down.
