I know there different ET's have been fitted but what those are I dont know.

Accourding to G-mans FAQ et18's maybe

But looking at those wheels they don't look like et 18's

If required I am sure I can find out for you.

I think MNR were getting a deal on these ( maybe woth an email to chris N )

I know I would like a set but in 8 or 9js but no foldy stuff at the moment.

Regards

Thanks,so it looks like you can use anything from a ET 18 to ET 38 on the mnr,as you say Agriv8,those wheels in the picture don't look quiet a ET 18,so may be there around a ET 24,its just that I think that car looks great with the black cxr's,just needed it confirming that the car in the picture had a lower ET than a ET 38,but the wheel just looks pants in a ET 38,does not look like the same wheel

The offset will vary according to the wheel width as well...

Good to bear that in mind for the look

hi chris you been on holiday ? not seen you posting for a while ? not too bothered about the weght ( or the first thing would be me hitting the slim fast ) or loosing 4 pistons

was having a look at the single seater and its looking good how you getting in with yours ? hope to have a run down to the meet soon as the old girl needs a decent run to get warmed through.

the tyres aren't really a concern for you, with a v8 upfront you could do with plenty of rubber to cope with the torque.
so are you saying it's running fine now?
you'll have to come along to the drag day at york in the summer (it's not mk specific, it's for all kit cars) would be good too see how the v8 compares in an out and out drag run, may give the becs a beating

Chris


Running yup fine needs a RR session but that one for when I plumb in the NEW ECU might have to get the launch control Working

Need a new set of WIDE rears

Keep us updated on the build.

Up for the Drag stip though 4 X 30th B'days and 2 Weddings may get in the way
