Thanks Guys. I do not have a rear ARB at all, although I did have the pick-up points added by Arch last year so that I could add one if I wanted to. Based on this, I take it that I could select an ARB that would fit with the wheels if I ever decided to go that route rather than worry now? Adrian - really appreciate your offer that I would ordinarily take you up on like a shot. However, I tried to give the car a final run of the year yesterday but It's decided "season over" unfortunately. It's thereore now off the road and the engine/gearbox out stripdown has started... I can't see myself replacing the Crossflow with anything else, so not too worried about the ability to go with wider rears. So, it would look like 5" rims and 2.5" outers should be the way to go. Does this wider track do much to the suspension geometry that needs to be thought about? Regards, Michael.

Right - I have bored enough people with silly questions to help me select the right dimension of MB wheels. Shaun was very helpful earlier and based on this, I am getting nearer to understanding what I need. I just don't want to make an expensive mistake! The objective is to fit 215/50R13 Kumhos front and back. Ideally, it would be nice to be able to swap around front and backs, but this is not a must. I have a set of RIF front wings on order. I understand that the perfect rim for a is 8" but most people go 7.5" - Is there a practical reason for this? We measured the backdepth of my current wheels at 4 1/2", and there is less than 1/2" netween the inner of my tyres currently and the wingstay, so the additional width compared to my current 6" rims must go on the outside. So - what are the measurements that I need to ask for before I have a chat with Mr Barnby please? The website here offers a wealth of choices.... Thanks - Michael.

Hi Chris, No experience of the CC setup but an say that the change to the Alcon setup a fair few years ago was a revalation... Main benefit to me is that it still uses the standard disks which are cheap to change when worn, and I do not believe are in any way a limiting factor in such a light car (heavily used in sprints, hillclimbs and trackdays as you know...) Changed to the race master cylinder this year - takes a bit of getting used to but after a couple of outings, a definite further improvement. Call me if you want to try / discuss! Michael.

Laa Laa Laa.... Michael.

Yes please x2 for the Drowned Rat Racers! Michael.

I work very near Camberley so could pick up very easily. We would struggle to fit the parts in on the way to Anglesea but could drop them off for Andrian to bring up? Regards, Michael.

Good to see I am still leading at least one of the championships Michael.

Sooooo glad I havn't had a glass of wine tonight. This is such a tempting price for a great car and I might not be able to restrain myself.... Brent Iknew I had seen that car somewhere before. In that case, it was the first Fireblade I ever had a ride in when it visited Montignac on the Bordeaux Blat! Michael Edited by - Mcalvert on 4 Sep 2008 22:34:14

Posted on behalf of Michael Burnham who does not have internet access this evening. What car do the standard indicator repeaters from the front wings come from? Are they likely to be available quickly from anywhere local rather than Caterham/Redline? Thanks - Michael.

Oi Snoatsey - we're married so it's allowed Michael.

Tam & I should be there around 20:30 - 21:00 ish. Michael. Edited by - Mcalvert on 18 Aug 2008 13:47:23
