my tyre size is a bit odd actually. im gonna get 195/40/16s.
the advantages of having these instead of 195/45/16s are:
*its got the same rolling circumference as the 14" ones ford supply it with.
*i wont need to change the gear ratios
*accelaration will still be pretty much the same (slow)
*they shouldnt rub on the arches

disadvantages are:
*only pirelli, dunlop and continental make them and they cost a fortune (90quid each)
*it'll beharsh ride -now that ive got my new springs and dampers (which lower it 40mm)

but apart from that....its all fun and games laugh

mad i wont b e getting my alloys for a few weeks now mad
the guy said he'd have them in for me today....but he phoned and said a fornight mad

Ben, get the 45s mate, only difference you'll notice is that they'll be closer to the arches. You won't notice the loss in acceleration mate trust me. The difference in size between the 40s and the 45s will be just under 2cm in total height.

you can get 17 inch tyres cheaper than the 16's ben, why not go for some 17inch rims? might be a little bit more expensive but you'll be saving money when it comes to buyin new tyres? just a thought!

the 16's will look boss with 40's on them tho eek <img border="0" alt="[smokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" /> eek

i did think about 17s, but i decided it'd make the car almost undriveable and extremely slow. so im gonna go for 16s.....its all part of the masterplan wink

peformance is ok.....cant expect miracles from a 1.3 engine (i dont wanna put 17s on cos i'll get smoked by nova's and metro's - i could never live that down) Although, i did **** my mate up the other day. he tried to overtake me....so i put my foot down and he tried pullin in but i was still next to him for longer than he expected laugh

but as for my masterplan, i wanna go all out smooth and low. no locks, handles, badges or gaps between my tyres and arches.
it might be a while though, the cash is starting to dry up now frown ah, the life of a student

Sounds good man, 17s are cheaper and more selection of tyres...

but i think 16s will be for the best....

to be honest, it doesnt drive as differently as i expected. there's bags more grip and hardly any body roll, but thats about it. I thought the ride was gonna be a lot firmer and bouncier, but it isnt. The only bad thing is i cant get full lock anymore frown
As for performance, it feels a bit sluggish pulling off, but once its moving there aint much difference.

tis a 3.5" janspeed backbox, a vast improvement over the pea shooter. Sounds nice as well. It burbles at low revs then quietens when it gets to higher revs

I recently had a new leather steering wheel fitted and I've got a superchip to go on it as well.

Hopefully I'll be getting some new bumpers soon. Although I'm in 2 minds whether to keep it or get rid frown

Got it back a few weeks ago from the body shop.
Had the doors de-locked and mirrors and handles sprayed.

The boot was smoothed too, and they fitted a spoiler.

I'm fairly happy with their work, although i was ****** off with a few things and will be taking it back to be sorted.
Since having the locks removed, the central locking has gone **** up. Also, it kept on cutting out due to the battery not being re-connected properly (which could have been dangerous if i was on the motorway).

Thanks for the comments everyone.

The arches are the 'racing' ones, theyre wider than the normal ones and suit the morettes really well.

by the way, Pat's looking good Dazza! laugh
