are you sure you put enough rivets in the side panels


Trollyjack - 6/5/14 at 11:37 AM

lost count how many but it gives a better rigid chassis its also bonded

How do the 13" evo 4-spoke wheels compare in weight with the other 13" wheels on the market?

Is it worth chasing the extra (or reduced in this case) kilo or are they quite light anyway? I guess the other problem is getting them in a suitable size width for slicks, although I guess you will be running a controlled tyre.

Sorry for the random question, I may get a set of 13" next year for slicks. evo 4-spoke from a ford seems a sensible cheap option.
Your car looks smart by the way. Any decals going on other than the compusary ones or are you sticking with basic white?

Hi not sure about weight.
These wheel were picked up of here usuallly pick them up for £10-£15 blasting and powder coated normally £20-£25

Yes Controlled tyre Yoko's 539 must be used.

Wanting to do some track days this summer and hope to race next year in the 750MC locost series.

Id love to go kev but not going to make it unfortunately . I've been in hospital for a small op and only just got out ! I've got to rest for over a week and avoid places where there are lots of people to avoid any chance of infection .But id like to have a look at it at a later time if possible. Cheers
