Well the wheels are on their way, how exciting. I think i will fit standard size RE050s. It will be the first time i haven't bought S02s for nearly 4 years (I had them on my Teg too) so i'm quite excited to find out what improvements have been made in tyre technology

As of the offset etc. I don't plan on lowering my car as yet. I would like to have my geo done properly, with COG, so if i supercharge and get the boat over for mase then maybe i can do that as well.

Thanks for all the info guys.

Chris

it looks like I won't be selling the vortech because it probably seized probly from bad oil when my engine went /

my expert thinks it looks like a bit of the vortech that let go before may have been stuck in the intercooler and caused the engine to fail

so beware if you have a supercharger and it gets real noisey it maybe about to go

Dan - go and buy some lottery tickets, you deserve some luck!

You live and learn though - changing / cleaning nearly everything on the breathing and exhuast side is critical once you have had a failure
