Check this out, thought it was interesting. :22yikes:
For those that haven't seen this.

Yeah ... that is Bill Strong, the owner of the MR2 Board. If you check in the history in this forum ,he has posted about it in here.

man I bet that beast is fast!!!

fast? that thing? nah...

but with all seriousness, bill do you have enough rubber on that car to keep the tires on the ground?

Probably not. But I actually have room for 335/35YR17 using a custom 17x11 wheel. I did not have the cash to do that as I would be looking at close to $5000 for wheels and tires and a few lug nuts. I think those tires will be more than enough on the rear.
But also know that I am not a guy that likes playing in drag. ya, okay... maybe every now and then I like to wear some nice fishnets... but back to the car... 225 will be more than enough to make for a nice twisties car.

if you think so... *shrugs*

my lowly mk1.5 roasts 215's on autoX

and this is about how much tire i need:

the 215's are on the car

can ya keep a secret? the 300+hp 3sgte I have been building for the past 2 years is almost done. It is going into the purple car. I just have to get the time. All the mounts are done, the wiring is done and the car is ready.
I also have those slicks from the race car. They fit barely. But I am just using 195 50 15s as it is just fun smoking tires, especially 60,000 mile tires.

So That Was Your Secret Bill!!!!

what is funny is how nobody has ever questioned whyt the purple car is on jackstands...

maybe they are just used to my cars being in contant jackstand stage

2 years and only 300hp? :(

Thats sick is 150 times better then the northstar powered GTI in SCC.
