done any other suspension damage at the same time? If you need parts Im scrapping the blue car tomorrow, still got useable struts on it etc..

Sold my old 15" wheels for £200 a couple of weeks ago.

i allways ran 15" wheels on my felicia's with 195/45/15 tyres

pinkskud · 30-01-2007, 17:57

I've just picked up 5 OE 13" alloys with tyres for Pinky........

........£20...Bargin............

pinkskud the "blue car" is a favorit glxie - but many of the components fit the felicias with no real problems, I run felicia wishbones on my favorit rally car. Im a fan of magnesium 13" split rims myself, About as good as it gets for handling and feel, now Ive just got to save up enough for a good set of a032r's to go with them......

i do like the feel of the 13"s feel wise. prob is i just cant get the grip when on the black stuff. so 195/50/15 on steels with octty hub caps. the 15"s are the only aesthetic mod i'm guna allow myself, factory sport model is the look i'm going for.

as for the manifold. thats to make the de-cat out of.

Tyre choice is all thats limiting your grip on 13's I promise you

, on Tarmac my 1300 felicia with 13" wheels was capable of beating most 2litre mk2 escorts and even beating a few escort cosworths and there werent many escort cosworths setting far faster times. A set of Yokohama A032R tyres on 13 OE alloy wheels will give you all the grip you could ask for. Remember these werent the wussy street driven chipped and big exhaust cossies we are talking about these were full on rally cars driven by national championship chasing drivers. The tyres arent cheap but they are worth it.
