But not with an oil cooler.


I know its not everyones cup of tea but they are:
Rarer,
Noticeably improve handling and steering response,
Less stress on the super strut,
Improve acceleration and braking,
Better for fuel economy when just potting around,
Bigger tyre allows more protection against Irish roads.
Plus the combination of 35 offset and wide tyres fill the arches alot better.



Im loving the whole "Time Attack look" and i think this puts the car in the right direction.

The tyres are Federal 535, i ordered 595 but was sent the lesser 535 so I'm getting a refund of the price difference. I had federals on my last car and I find them a good balance plus they stick out past the rim offering a very good amount of protection against kerbing.
