    71 tdi project

    Hi, How is the project going? Just bought a 1z engine and interested that you're going to use a T25 gearbox, I did think about this too but read a few people saying its a lot of hassle to put a T25 gearbox in a bay (side shifter, mountings etc). Any advice on using a T25 box? Cheers Doug

    69 Bay - Adjustable Beam - AND - Dropped Spindles???????

    Tyres - 175 55 15 - where can I get high load rated tyres?

    I've found some 185 55's, 86 LR, XL rated..... Going to be fitting to 5.5" BRMs, anybody know if these will be too wide. Checked online and seem to be in tolerance for my wheel width, but guessing wider tyre = heavier steering. ( I have narrowed beam so not worried about arch clearance)

    Tyres - 175 55 15 - where can I get high load rated tyres?

    I'm currently running 175 55 15's on the front but have never paid any attention to the load rating of the tyres before... Currently running 77's but everything I've read recently suggests I the correct load rating should be more like 85 on the front... My steering isn't the best and tyres are...
