In defense of 17"s - long

hey Big al. go to Rogue engernering or how ever you spell it. If you get there Duel exhaust system for the MCS there be more than happy to sell you a trailer Hitch for the MCS as well. Oh and Garfield I also would like to thank you for your hard work on the unsprung weight and speed numbers between the different tires and wheel combos. Im also thinking about getting the New G-tech model thats out there since the old one I have is just that old do you have any opinion on the new or do you have the new one??

Hey we aren't all that uncommon. Me and my other halves dad are getting S and he has been racing minis for nigh on 20 years now. Will do the same for you folk in Australian conditions as soon as our cars arrive in September.

As for tyres, what tyres available in australia are the best? as the cheapest by far are the toyo, they are about half the price as I have access on the coast to the distributer. "Ian Diff tyre and mufflers" I got my last set at about $180 a corner as oppesed to $290 a corner for Falken or Fuldas. If you're Australian I HIGHLY recommend checking them out.

I have chosen the S as I need the extra grunt for towing my caravan (trailer) , however my dealer was lost for words when I asked for a tow hitch to be fitted .
Nah , only joking , I am as power crazy as the next man ,its just that drag racing is not my thing .

Hey, I have a trailer hitch on my WRX wagon.
But I don't tow anything with it, it's just to hold the 4-bike rack.

Here is a REALLY good explaination on the importance of Unsprung Weight.
