Thanks Mike, I look forward to hearing from you. We're going to be looking at a few this w/e to assess what's out there and what sort of 'bargain' one can get...
Unfortunately, investor interest in F1 is low right now, and that is the only way back...... BUT... If you have any comments you want to be passed on to David,...
Following the demise of MG Rover, has there been any info from Lotus on what engine will be used in the Elise apart from the Toyota in the 111R? Could be an...
The rumors have been around larger engines rather than a replacement for the Rover engine. Most of the rumors, though, are for the addition of the Lotus...
... My comment would be "Don't come back without a top-line budget." But a top-line budget is $500,000,000+ per year :-(( Even Russian oil billionaires...
David, You should speak with Will Blackham. Sterling man. I've just sent him email to see how you might get a hold of him. Time's a bit slim as he's soon to go...
I have a set of Yokohama 008R's on my Plus 2. The tires don't have a lot of wear (unfortunately). But the tires must be over 10 years old. How long do tires...
... <snip> ... Probably closer to 15 years. ... Not that long. The compound will dry out, and the grip will disappear. If they have been stored in a cool...
The rubber gradually hardens, so they will certainly be giving a lot less grip now than when they were new (though probably still pretty impressive compared to...
Assuming that my old tires are no longer safe, which is the best option? option 1: all season radials (not much fun?) option 2: Hankook or Hoosier race tires...
Depends what you use your car for. If it is mainly road use, then all seaon radials are a lot of fun - you can drift/slide the car very safely & progressively....
I think it's a good gesture from Michelin. Especially since they would have been no need for a refund if Mosley hadn't been so stubborn about compromises. I...
... The best answer really depends on what you plan to do with the car. If you're only going to use it in a track environment, then there are any number of...
Excuse any ignorance here, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I owned a '68 +2 for 10 years. Half of that time the car was shod with GKN Rims and Pirelli...
... I'm sure tire characteristics would have been a design consideration, especially wrt to selecting spring and damper rates. ... That's something of an...
Thanks for the good advice My car gets mostly street use. I've been on a few parade track runs and one track day, where I discovered snap oversteer, and...
There's a ton of information about tires at the Tire Rack's site: http://www.tirerack.com/about/techcenter.jsp including notes about storing tires (off car),...
Tires don't "dry" - they continue to cure & harden. Thus, the harder a tire is when 'new', the longer its shelf life. Michelin X was a very hard tire (what ...
I guess that one day soon the supply of Rover engines will run out and maybe standard Toyota's. What makes you think VW Mike? Also - on a club run today, a...
Actually, I'm just repeating the rumors but there's a fair amount of discussion of futures up on EliseTalk (www.elisetalk.com) ... From: Guy & Kerri Stevens I...
... From what I've heard, the 111R will be supplemented by a model with the non-VVT version of the same engine. ... S1 cars can be converted to run S2...
