the data wont make sense without the illegal traction control overlaid ;-)

Got mine just before Christmas along with some other goodies from Julian, damn this upgraditis, is there a known cure yet...............................

I'll send the pics when mine arrives! Lovely guy to deal with, very helpful Julian thanks

Its a good price looks good and MUST do something so I'm in and will add it to the list!

yeah I agree with all the above. I got mine just to look good and to keep the diff/tank area cleaner, as I tidied it al up at the back of the year.

Roger, Hi mate, I was jesting with Marto. The day was very well attended with many vintage and classic sports cars. Lots of interesting tin-tops as well. Its a really good get together. I had the roof on and side screens, gore tex trousers and jacket, russian hat, gloves, scarf. I got in the car, then gaffer taped up the passenger side door and stuffed all crevices with shammy leather pieces I have for the purpose. Treated the inside of the screen with rain-x, then stuffed tissue into the windscreen/hood interface. Set off from home. travelled 1 mile and noticed needed fuel. Pulled into garage, crawled out the car on my knees and filled with petrol. Got back in - repeated everything above. Headed down from Northampton via Salcey Forest. Avoided puddles but got a wet elbow. Interestingly at any speed over 50mph all my tissue fillets (now wet with water) were blown inwards as if by a pressure washer. (note to self - wipe condensation every 3 minutes from inside of windscreen and side screens. After about 20 minutes I found a section of road to put my foot down a bit - car felt very light and visibility was about as good as if i was in a fish tank looking out. Arrived at Stony with the car covered in horse manure, leaves , wet tissue and sodden but of shammy leather that all fell out when I opened the side screen. Got out the car, well climbed out the door one leg at a time with an audience - was rather embarrassing. Had a stroll about and repeat above on the way home. Did I get drenched ? not really, was it a hair raising drive on A048 tyres? yes, did i enjoy it - of course !!!

I posted this a few years back as a basic method of measuring the offset. http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/80975-wheel-offset/?p=809176 (Actual excellent post from link above is shown here - Mod) I'll try to simplify this by using pictures in this example using a Mazda MX5 wheel. Begin by taking the wheel off and laying it face down on the garage floor. Lay a straight edge across the top and measure the distance from this to the floor (in this example it's about 190mm), divide this by 2 and it will give you a measurement for the centre of the wheel (190/2 = 95mm). Now repeat the process but this time measure the distance from the straight edge to the mounting face on the inside of the wheel (here that's about 140mm) Now take the result of the first calculation (95mm) and subtract this from the second measurement (140mm); so 140-95 = 45mm. So the offset of this MX5 wheel is 45mm. The PCD of the wheels (or Bolt Circle for our American cousin) is measured from centre to centre of opposite holes so here you can see that this mazda wheel is a 4-stud 100mm PCD.
