Sorry to say, but that looks well rank! Lovers and haters all welcome, if we all did the same thing wouldnt life be boreing. I drove her on 13s today had to jack the suspension up by 3". The wheels just dissappeared into the arches, I have to say it was a little scitish. As for the engine I have no idea whats in it I purchased the whole Metro Turbo from a friend and fitted it to one of my cars in 2002. On 15" it spun the wheels in all gears and had the scarey tendancy to light up the tyres in 2nd approaching 5500rpm at about 16psi. Hence its been sat on a pallet ever since. My mate swares thats how he got it in the car. The suspention uses modified metro rear radius arms and shortened metro hand brake cable the front is all Sourced from MIni Spares nothing special there. Own the day

the torque steer has probably reduced alot due to each wheel weighing about 30x more than a set of 10's so the engine cant spin them! Drives

The odd thing about it is they are not much taller than 13s and shorter than the 15s I had on.
